Remarkableriots Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Nevada bill would allow tech companies to create governments WWW.GOOGLE.COM Planned legislation to establish new business areas in Nevada would allow technology companies to effectively form separate local governments. Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak announced a plan to... Quote The zones would permit companies with large areas of land to form governments carrying the same authority as counties, including the ability to impose taxes, form school districts and courts and provide government services. The measure to further economic development with the “alternative form of local government” has not yet been introduced in the Legislature. Sisolak pitched the concept in his State of the State address delivered Jan. 19. The plan would bring in new businesses at the forefront of “groundbreaking technologies” without the use of tax abatements or other publicly funded incentive packages that previously helped Nevada attract companies like Tesla Inc. Sisolak named Blockchains, LLC as a company that had committed to developing a “smart city” in an area east of Reno after the legislation has passed.

Littleronin Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 So basically turn every Nevada town/city into Paradise. I mean the Nevada Supreme Court already set precedent for something like this when they struck down attempts to absorb Paradise into Las Vegas in the past.

Not technically, but it failed more catastrophically than pretty much any other 'real' company town. GM had huge controlling interests in the city until the 1980s.
