Making strategic connections between
business and government

Our expertise

If you need to work with Nevada government, having access to a team with an arsenal of firsthand, behind-the-scenes insights is invaluable. We understand Nevada’s rules and policies because, in many cases, we helped create them. We are here to help you navigate the process seamlessly, based on our knowledge of the inner-workings of government, as well as our genuine and personal relationships with those who can help.

Below are some of the services we offer.

Government Affairs

Consulting

Having sat on both sides of the table, Nevada Strategies is uniquely qualified to represent clients in front of city, county or state government.

Lobbying

Working with the legislature or local governments, Nevada Strategies presents projects and legislative bills, effectively negotiating policy issues. For decades we have worked in public capacities alongside leaders at all levels of government — meaning our established relationships and experiences can offer worthwhile impact.

Procurement

Because we helped shape and create many State processes, we are able to advise companies on how to navigate the government procurement process.

Campaign Strategy

Consulting services include advising and assisting on political campaigns, candidate counseling, public and media relations, opposition research, voter polling and field strategy.

Economic Development

Planning and zoning entitlements

Nevada Strategies’ Bruce Breslow is a former mayor and planning commissioner who worked for many years with developers, clearing their paths for successful, profitable projects. He has expertise in zoning, land use, housing development and water rights.

Guidance on revenue bonds and housing bonds

We have comprehensive experience running the State’s Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (IDRB) Program and working with developers on affordable housing bonds.

Site selection

Our work in private sector commercial development provided us with expertise in land acquisition, entitlements and water rights. We put this expertise to work in various government leadership positions where we guided companies as they relocated to Nevada or expanded operations in our state.

Opportunity zone projects

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (specifically §13823; effective 12/22/2017) established a new tax incentive for capital gains invested into certain designated low-income census tracts, called Opportunity Zones. We have a profound understanding of this legislation and can help guide business through its many layers of nuances, providing insight about how to invest equity capital into specified low-income communities to stimulate economic development.

Tax credit programs

We support businesses that want to move to Nevada in a variety of ways, including securing desirable economic incentives and tax credit programs on both state and federal levels. We have worked extensively with businesses and developers on New Market Tax Credit projects.
