At the request of statewide partners — the Governor of Nebraska, the Director of the Nebraska Department of Economic Development, and the President of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and Industry — UNO CPAR was asked to compile data from numerous data contributors and analyze the data to provide actionable insights for regional economic and community development.
As part of the "6 Regions, One Nebraska" initiative, our analyses are being made available below. These resources are intended to be continuously evolving to meet the unique needs of the regions.
