I am in favor of the Quality Growth Fund Renewal. The Quality Growth Fund provides resources for recruiting businesses to our community. For information on how the funds have been used to growth our community visit the Quality Growth Fund website.
KEEPING NORTH PLATTE COMPETITIVE
This fund keeps North Platte competitive for economic development projects, and is utilized for a variety of projects and quality job creation. Projects can include loans, grants, performance-based loans, infrastructure projects, studies, consultants, workforce housing, marketing, promotion, job training, real estate acquisition, equipment and other eligible uses defined in the plan and statute.
This fund is a highly recognized economic development tool and one of the first questions a business prospect will ask a community when seeking information. In fact, in Nebraska there are 74 communities with a voter approved LB840 economic development program. 73 of the 74 communities are funded through some type of local sales or general fund revenue tax.
