These seven companies are getting over $30M in tax relief from Nevada

A California-based maker of traditional Mexican food and sauces will receive $2.3 million in tax abatements from the state of Nevada to build a manufacturing facility in North Las Vegas.

Juanita’s Foods plans to add 149 jobs over five years, with an average wage of $37.97 an hour. The company also is projected to make $20.6 million in capital investments in its first two years and generate $19.3 million in tax revenue over the 10-year abatement period.

This company was one of seven approved this month by the Governor’s Office of Economic Development to receive tax abatements totalling more than $30 million to place their operations in the state. Combined the companies are expected to generate $115 million in tax revenue, add 738 jobs and make $274 million in capital investments over the next five years, according to the GOED.

The other six companies receiving abatements:

— The mobile game company Skillz Inc. is receiving $429,000 for establishing its headquarters at a 54,000-square-foot facility in Las Vegas.
