Awards and Recognition

community of the yearThe city of Fremont was recognized at the Nebraska Diplomats Greater Omaha Regional Economic Development Celebration on Tuesday for their achievements in community growth and business partnerships.  Governor Ricketts attended the luncheon, and presented the award to Mayor Scott Getzschman.


“It was extremely exciting to be singled out for the award,” said Getzschman.  “We have a great staff, City Council, and Planning Department that have contributed, but we can’t do this without the support and collaboration of partnerships like Greater Fremont Development Council and the Fremont Chamber.  We are excited for the citizens of Fremont who can be proud of their community’s achievements and this recognition.”
