Grant EDC at the Annual ICSC Las Vegas

Last week, Grant EDC participated in the annual ICSC Las Vegas, recognized as the world’s largest commercial real estate event. The ICSC focuses on marketplaces and spaces where people shop, dine, work, play, and connect, highlighting their importance as vital components of communities and economies.

Executive Director Brant Mayo joined Kyle Niehenke, Executive Director of Adams County Development Council, and Debbie Doran Martinez, Executive Director of the Moses Lake Chamber of Commerce, to showcase the opportunities our shared region offers to over 25,000 attendees. The event provided valuable opportunities to meet potential investors and businesses, strengthen partnerships, and explore new collaborations. Additionally, it served as an excellent forum for gaining insights into the latest market trends and developments shaping the future of commercial real estate.

Brant said, “I look forward to this event every year, and I’m proud to collaborate with Adams County and the Moses Lake Chamber of Commerce as we work together to attract new investments and foster economic growth in our shared region. The connections we make here are invaluable, and each year we leave with fresh ideas and renewed enthusiasm.”

A special thank you to Kyle and Debbie!
