Fernley’s Business Expo held last Saturday at City Hall drew a surge of participation over last year, with 55 local businesses and community organizations taking part in the event.
Development Coordinator Jessica Murdock said the first event last year had about 35 exhibitors.
“Based on the results we had, I’ll probably be bringing it back for our third annual Business Expo,” she said. “We want to continue to facilitate these connections so that we continue as a community, and with the city of Fernley growing, we're all going to see the growth. We might as well all grow together.”
Murdock said the idea for the expo came from the city’s 2024 business survey.
“I proposed organizing a business expo and opening it up to everyone, whether they have a storefront or not, whether they have a Fernley business license or are coming from Reno, Fallon, Sparks or Carson,” she said.
Last year’s expo drew more out-of-town businesses than this year’s, which she said became “truly more of a local business event.”
