'Apprehensive but optimistic': Nevada's least populated county braces for industrial development

Esmeralda County is the least populated county in Nevada, a fact reflected by the county’s infrastructure and services. The county is built to support the roughly 800 residents who live there, but if the projected 600 construction jobs it will take to build the mine is accurate, the county population could nearly double within a couple of years.
