Building Vernon County’s Future: A Community Conversation

On Thursday, August 28, neighbors, business leaders, and partners gathered at the Healthy Nevada Innovation Center for an evening with Tina Cochran, Vernon County’s Economic Development Director.

Hosted through Build VC (Build Vernon County), the meeting highlighted how Tina’s role supports countywide progress—helping small businesses, advancing downtown revitalization, coordinating housing and workforce efforts, and elevating quality-of-life projects.

Key takeaways:

  • Growth happens through collaboration across city, county, schools, and civic groups.

  • Build VC serves as a hub to guide projects, connect resources, and keep communication open.

  • Community involvement is essential—join a working group, share opportunities, and champion local.
