The Lahontan Valley News has moved to a new office at 37 Maine St. in the heart of downtown Fallon after several years on the outskirts.
“We felt we weren’t doing a great job of serving people who wanted to come and do business with us,” said Steve Ranson, LVN general manager and editor. “Either they said we were too far out of town, or they couldn’t find us. So what we wanted to do was become part of the downtown area again.”
The move was welcomed by business leaders.
Natalie Parrish, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce, noted that any business that moves downtown is a good thing.
“And the newspaper is the hub of information,” she said. “I think it’s a great presence down there. You need a downtown. You need centrality. You need a kind of destination.”
A ribbon cutting and meet and greet will take place sometime in the future and will be open to all. The LVN’s phone number remains the same at 775-423-6041.
