Business Retention and Expansion
The primary focus of the Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) program
is to listen to existing businesses, as they account for more than 70
percent of all new jobs. The benefits of talking to your local
businesses helps create jobs, retain industry and improve the business
climate. It also helps businesses become more competitive and increases
their chances of remaining and expanding in Nebraska.

Local Industry Targeting
The Nebraska Department of Economic Development assists communities and
regions through a local industry targeting process to select economic
growth targets that make sense for the area.
The process includes sharing targeting methods, discussing why your
community/area wants to grow, reviewing economic data, gathering and
reviewing community attributes, analyzing data about suggested targets
and determining “how well” they fit your attributes, and finally
selecting and working through the responsibilities of local targets.
