The Next Chapter of Nebraska's Future: Blueprint Nebraska
The 2019 Blueprint Nebraska report engaged thousands of Nebraskans in developing a statewide economic plan to retain Nebraska’s Good Life and economic competitiveness through 2030. The 15 initiatives in this report have largely stood the test of time and remain as relevant today. There is a need to help facilitate the implementation of those initiatives with additional research and efforts to connect communities and their leaders. The NE Chamber Foundation is a successor to Blueprint Nebraska and continues to be a key partner in making the original plan a reality. |
