Carson City is at the center of it all and the first stop for millions of visitors each year.

Today, our state capital retains its old-town charm and rich history. It’s reflected in our  people, our architecture and our traditions. This is why Carson City was named “Best Western Historical Site in Nevada” by True West Magazine for our many beautifully maintained historical sites – the Nevada State Railroad Museum, the Nevada State Museum, the famed Virginia & Truckee Railroad, the Kit Carson Trail, the Governor’s Mansion, the Capitol Building and the Children’s Museum.

Surrounded by thousands of acres of public land, Carson City offers residents and visitors abundant recreational opportunities in our four-season outdoor recreational wonderland, from skiing and snowboarding to hiking, horseback riding, fishing, kayaking, rock climbing, hunting or even hang gliding.

Local Business 

The Carson City Airport is an easy solution for business and personal aviation because Carson City, Nevada’s State Capital, is a hub for business activity.

The main purpose of  Governor’s Office of Economic Development and the Northern Nevada Development Authority is to improve Carson City’s diverse economy and business-friendly environment, attract new businesses and retain established businesses. Some of Carson City’s major employers include The Carson-Tahoe Regional Medical Center, ClickBond, Inc., Specline Corporation, CGI, Chromalloy Nevada and Harley-Davidson Financial Services.

As the state capital, Carson City is the seat of state government and, therefore, government is a major employment sector. The Service Sector represents the largest single employment category and employs nearly 30 percent of the workforce. Additionally, Carson City has quietly become Nevada’s leading manufacturing community, with 15 percent of its workers in manufacturing, compared to the state average of four percent. In fact, the percentage of manufacturing companies in Carson City far exceeds the average in most cities across the U.S.

With Carson City’s strong business sector, coupled with regular state government, the Carson City Airport provides an essential service for people traveling by private and charter planes and jets.
