Outsiders think rural towns are dying.

NOT ON OUR WATCH.

South Central Economic Development District (SCEDD) serves 13 counties in South Central Nebraska, focusing on community, housing and business development. We are committed to improving our communities, assisting in housing development, and offering assistance to businesses in the SCEDD region.


Is there a need for public infrastructure improvements? Is quality child care availability lacking? Is the downtown ready for a facelift? Is job growth limited by the shortage of housing?



Whatever your needs are, invite us to the conversation. SCEDD will walk with you and explore idea development, opportunities and resources to achieve your vision of a thriving community.
