From the Nebraska State Chamber News Update:

The Nebraska Economic Development Certified Communities program is one of a handful across the nation that recognize community economic preparedness.  Certification signals a community’s dedication, leadership and vision for growing and attracting new jobs and people.  This certification also better positions a community for economic opportunities.  The program is sponsored by the Nebraska Diplomats and administered by the Nebraska Department of Economic Development.  Advantages of being designated as a certified community include:  Being identified and documented as ready for economic development opportunities; being marketed to business and industry; and becoming eligible to apply for “Downtown Revitalization” competitive funds (if population is less than 20,000).  Other advantages also apply.

Falls City is a Nebraska Economic Development Certified Community!
