“Economic development isn’t just about jobs and recruiting businesses. It’s the betterment of the human condition, and the best way to do that is to invest in our neighbors and community members.”
How Your Community Benefits
Your downtown isn’t just a bunch of storefronts. It’s a collection of passionate entrepreneurs and inventive business owners. The Rural Prosperity Nebraska Economic Development team works with you and your neighbors to enhance the thriving economic environment of your community.
Through group discussions, workshops, coaching sessions, consultations in your native language, and explorations of which business models work best for the residents of your town, our programs meet you where you’re at and help you take the next steps toward greater economic security and success.
From nurturing a business-building ecosystem, to identifying and cultivating resources that encourage business development, the expertise shared by the Economic Development team is aimed at fostering a culture of innovation, sustainability, and prosperity within your community, creating growth and resilience for generations to come.
