Ord

"Becoming a Certified Community was a critical piece of the puzzle that proves to community and business leaders that Ord is progressive and prepared for economic development. It is important for local as well as international marketing efforts and has already provided us with several business contacts that we may not have had otherwise. People are continually telling us how impressed they are with our certified status. I strongly suggest to any community that is serious about economic development to make this certification a priority to achieve. It will pay dividends if marketed properly."

"It is imperative that a community wishing to demonstrate a seriousness about economic development become a Economic Development Certified Community. The process is an excellent tool to gain a comprehensive view of the community from the standpoint of being prepared for economic activity. The EDCC application process also educates community leaders and development partners about the complexity and competitiveness of economic development and provides a basis of reality as to what a community might expect from economic development activity. Any town wanting to demonstrate that they are serious about growth or sustainability should be a Nebraska EDCC."
