City of Auburn Attains Recertification As A Nebraska Economic Development Certified Community

The City of Auburn recently attained recertification from the State of Nebraska as an Economic Development Certified Community. The designation was first achieved in 2006 and must be renewed every three years. The recertification was completed in December 2009. The following is a quote from Governor Dave Heineman regarding the importance of being a Certified Community:

"The Nebraska Economic Development Certified Communities 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 development opportunities, shows a community is economic development ready, and it shows that a community is capable of marketing itself for business and industry development."
-Dave Heineman, Governor of Nebraska

While this certification takes many hours of research and preparation to complete, the benefits it returns are very well worth the work involved. This designation positions Auburn for economic growth and stability.

  2. Thank you for your interest in the City of Auburn business climate. We are working very diligently with our economic development partners to attract businesses to our city and the entire Nemaha County area. If you would like to learn more about our efforts in this area I would encourage you to attend some meetings of the Auburn Development Council. They meet on Wednesdays at Noon at Auburn City Hall.
