Reno boom eyed as casinos, jobs spur growth
Reno and Sparks push major casino expansions led by MGM Sahara Reno and John Ascuaga’s Nugget while Harrah’s renovates downtown. Officials expect 10 000 new jobs and 40 000 related service jobs, with population rising from 170 000 toward 200 000 by 1980. A building moratorium earlier stalled residential work due to sewer capacity, but a voter approved bond doubled the sewer plant size. Richard Allen of regional planning calls the changes part of life and business in America.
