"Here we are, with a hundred million-dollar project, and we’re waiting for professional, trained hosts from our state to come in and show this fabulous project… and we get folks that really, truly don’t know what they’re doing… It’s ludicrous and it’s crazy. "

- Lance Gilman, partner in the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center, has a longstanding beef with economic development agencies and reps, who, he says, tend to show up unannounced, prospects in tow, and give a perfunctory tour without including the owners.
