Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance

The Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance (LVGEA) brand was established in 2012. The organizations heritage is forged from a rich history of economic development achievements dating back to 1956 when the Southern Nevada Industrial Foundation was formed. Later rebranded as the Nevada Development Authority, the organization underwent a major transformation when Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval worked with the Legislature to restructure Nevadas economic development landscape in 2011. The Southern Nevada business community coalesced around an economic diversification strategy that facilitated the rise of a restructured regional economic development entity. The NDA then became the LVGEA. Throughout its various iterations, the organization has embodied a mission that wedded diversification and infrastructure planning with the overall goal of facilitating economic growth in Southern Nevada. LVGEA will expand upon its diversification efforts by targeting global opportunities that hold the potential to stabilize the regions economic future.

Las Vegas Natural History Museum

Las Vegas Natural History Museum The founding of the Las Vegas Natural History Museum stemmed from the realization of a tremendous need in the community for a museum promoting an appreciation and understanding of global life forms, past and present. In February 1989, a small group of concerned citizens requested that the Las Vegas City Council assist in finding a home for a pre-existing collection of wildlife and prehistoric exhibits. The City of Las Vegas purchased a building, located in the center of a proposed Cultural Corridor, to house the Museum. This building is leased for one dollar a year; however, the museum is responsible for renovations, upkeep, and operations. With the assistance of local businesses and private individuals, the Las Vegas Natural History Museum opened its doors in July 1991, exhibiting a varied collection of wildlife and prehistoric exhibits on loan. Since then, the Museum has obtained its own multi-million dollar, world-class collection, and created an exciting and interactive learning experience. From the desert to the ocean, from Nevada to Africa, from prehistoric times to the present, the Las Vegas Natural History Museum takes young and old alike on a learning adventure around the world.

Las Vegas Rescue Mission

LVRM was founded in 1970 by a pastor and six businessmen who had a calling to help those who were homeless and hungry. Together, they secured a tiny storefront at 414 West Bonanza Road. By Gods grace, they provided sandwiches and drinks, along with mats and blankets for men to eat and sleep away from the elements. We are more than just a shelter; we stand as a beacon of hope. We continue to adapt to meet the needs of men, women, and children in an ever-changing society. Through effective, innovative Christian recovery programs, the Mission provides a path for those who want to escape the despair of the streets.

Laughlin Economic Development Corporation

The Laughlin Economic Development Corporation is a 501(C)3 non-profit whose mission/vision is to attract -- and keep growing -- businesses, industries, and housing providers that Laughlin needs, and for which we know our existing residents and visitors can support, in our collaborative venture between civic and business leaders in Laughlin to promote the improvement of the health, welfare, and quality of life for our residents and visitors through steady, sustainable, economic growth as we add to our economic bases of retirement living and gambling-based tourism. Fortunately, the Retirement Base is strong and the residential community is financially sound. In fact, the residential and commercial sectors -- excluding the casino resorts -- make up well over half the total taxable value of Laughlin. Thus the strong residential community with stable property values, coupled with available commercial buildings and land, allows for a steady development to serve the growing population now estimated to exceed 10,000 full-timers. The LEDC provides assistance to renewable energy companies looking to develop their projects. Given Laughlin's history as an energy-producing community, and the transmission infrastructure with available capacity to transmit power, international companies are trying to capitalize on the advantages of Laughlin's sun-savoring slopes, especially for solar panel generation.
