Mayor Shari L. Buck Announces 278 Jobs Coming To North Las Vegas
July 20, 2010 – North Las Vegas, NV – Mayor Shari L. Buck today announced Amonix, one of the country’s leaders in designing and manufacturing solar power systems, will be opening an $18 million manufacturing plant that will generate 278 jobs in North Las Vegas.
“North Las Vegas has been among the cities in the country hardest hit by the economic recession,” Buck said during a morning news conference at City Hall. “We hope that this announcement is one of many that may signal the road to our economic recovery.”
Amonix produces concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) solar power systems.
At the new plant, located in the Golden Triangle, 4975 N. Pecos Road, Amonix will build the major components of its solar power systems. It will house the latest in solar technology, producing solar power systems that require no water, use land better and produce more energy per acre than any other system in operation today.
The plant will provide opportunities for local clean energy technical, production and management jobs.
“Today, I’m happy to announce we have found a great partner in North Las Vegas, a community which embraces green technology and has helped us live up to our commitment to Southern Nevada, one of the country’s leaders in solar energy,” Amonix CEO Brian Robertson said.
“This is a big win for Nevada and we are proud to be a part of it,” said Chris Zunis, vice president of economic development for the Nevada Development Authority.
