🌐 TMRPA Staying Engaged

Yesterday, our Director, Jeremy Smith, attended the Western Nevada Development District (WNDD) 2026 Summit to learn more about the growing role of data centers and what it means for communities like ours.

As data centers continue to expand in Northern Nevada, we’re committed to staying informed, collaborating with regional partners, and exploring what this means for energy, infrastructure, and long-term planning.

💡 This work builds on our ongoing efforts to better understand the opportunities and challenges ahead.
