Nevada Growth and Construction Slowdown in 1966 Outlook
Gorman report notes government spending on military installations at Nellis Hawthorne and Fallon as Nevada economic drivers while housing construction remains weak due to prior overbuilding. Nevada's population growth and tax laws attract investment with manufacturing up 38 percent in 1965 and mining surpassing 190 million dollars in 1965.
