The Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) is partnering with OnTrackNorthAmerica to create the Southwest Supply Chain Coalition to better connect markets and lower supply-chain costs.
The coalition will also address climate change, and safety and congestion issues, according to a GOED press release.
"California’s supply chains have expanded into Nevada, Arizona, and Utah for warehousing, distribution and production," said Kris Sanchez, GOED deputy director. "Yet, there is only one warehouse in Nevada that is receiving or shipping goods by rail. Meanwhile, 70% of all trucks traveling in Nevada are coming from or going to California."
The partnership aims to develop a regional approach to coordinating planning of and investment in the supply-chain transportation infrastructure that serves the commercial activities of each jurisdiction.
GOED and OnTrackNorthAmerica will work with counterparts in California, Utah and Arizona to promote the Southwest Supply Chain Coalition. Participation is anticipated from landowners, developers, realtors, transportation and energy service providers, government agencies, economic development professionals, shippers, ocean carriers, legislators, regulators, planners and local elected leaders.
