RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – The Grand Sierra Resort (GSR) has chosen Nevada-based Martin-Harris Construction as the general contractor for the GSR Arena.

As general contractor, Martin-Harris will oversee construction of the new 10,000-seat arena that will serve as the future home of the Nevada Wolf pack men’s basketball team, concerts and a community ice center.
