Nebraska’s new $3M, regional approach to spurring economic development is off and running
22 Aug 2024
Armed with an initial $3 million in public funds, Nebraska has now fully launched a new regional approach to economic development that organizers hope will accelerate growth and sharpen the state’s competitive edge.
On Wednesday in Omaha, the last of six regional teams had an inaugural meeting and started planning a signature project for the largely urban four-county area in and around Nebraska’s biggest city.
K.C Belitz, director of Nebraska’s Department of Economic Development, called it the “big swing” — a unique initiative to be shaped by regional needs, aimed at attracting young professionals and boosting local economies.
