BROKEN BOW — Custer County has
a workforce problem. And it is a nice problem to have. The county has
the jobs it just needs the employees. A key element in all of
this is housing, and the places to live are coming!
Custer Campus, Inc. a 501c2 non-profit
organization under the Custer Economic Development Corporation (CEDC)
501c3 umbrella, closed on land last week to build new homes in Broken
Bow.
This is a big deal for our area on
so many fronts. Through a pilot program initiated by NIFA (Nebraska
Investment Finance Authority), Broken Bow aims to build up to 10 new
homes and a duplex. The uniqueness of the program is its cornerstone,
the local partners who on multiple levels have joined forces to make
this happen, said CEDC Executive Director Deb McCaslin. Im
so proud of all of the work these fine folks put into the project.
Without the commitment of the city of Broken Bow, local contractors,
local suppliers, and especially our local bankers, this couldnt
happen.
