LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Governor Joe Lombardo is highlighting construction opportunities forindustry leaders to thrive in the valley.

LV Iron & Steel CEO Pete Aguilar and CFO Traci Aguilar joined Gov. Lombardo for a tour of the company on Thursday.

Construction leaders demonstrated how robotics assists in increasing production volume while maintaining more than 150 jobs.

Aguilar said the tour aims to show that local companies and suppliers are capable, ready, and well-positioned to work on future high-profile projects in the valley.

“Particularly on major projects, there is a misperception that construction services and suppliers need to be sourced from outside the state,” said Aguilar in a news release. “Southern Nevada has a rich building history with many companies like ours that are more than capable of working on large, key projects. We appreciate the Governor’s support today as we came together to promote the value of working and sourcing locally, particularly as Southern Nevada continues to grow.”

LV Iron & Steel is known for fabricating and installing steel for many high-profile projects including Allegiant Stadium, the Las Vegas Aces practice facility, UnCommons commercial and residential development, the new Whole Foods Market retail center in Downtown Summerlin, and the Kroger Distribution Center.

“As Nevada continues to grow, we need innovators and leaders in the construction industry now more than ever,” said Gov. Lombardo in a news release. “I enjoyed my tour of LV Iron & Steel and our group discussion about growth and development opportunities in Nevada.”
