 “Nebraska Advantage is the most aggressive economic development package approved in Nebraska during the last eighteen years, and arguably, during the full history of the state. It not only builds on the incentives already in place, but adds significantly to the types of businesses impacted ,” said Richard Baier, director of the Nebraska Department of Economic Development.
Components of the Nebraska Advantage Package include:
The long-term goals of the Nebraska Advantage package are to promote growth of existing companies through job retention and new capital investments; increase the number of successful startup business ventures in the state; foster the commercialization of new products and ideas; and recognize the different needs of Nebraska's industries.
“Nebraska Advantage improves Nebraska’s tax climate, and rewards businesses that invest in the state and hire Nebraska’s high quality workforce. Through Nebraska’s new progressive, pro-business program, companies will receive reduced or virtually eliminated corporate income and sales taxes, and credit for employee withholding,” said Richard Baier, director of the Nebraska Department of Economic Development.
As the state’s lead economic development agency, the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) is dedicated to helping businesses locate the information and resources they need to succeed, grow, and prosper.
The major responsibility of the Nebraska Department of Economic Development is to use the tools and resources provided by the Nebraska Legislature, under the leadership of the governor to grow, diversify and develop the capability of Nebraska’s economy to grow at a pace that enhances the lives of its residents.
More specifically, the mission of the Nebraska Department of Economic Development is to provide quality leadership and services that enable Nebraska communities, businesses, and people to succeed in a global economy. We are here, equipped and ready, to assist you and your community in developing and capitalizing on economic development opportunities.
