The Sherman County Economic Development Board is well underway with a recent Business Retention and Expansion Program which has the purpose of understanding the needs and potential expansion interests of area employers. More than seven of the county’s leading employers and manufacturers participated in comprehensive interviews and surveys conducted by certified (BREI) BR&E Consultant, and Executive Director, Shawn Kaskie. Companies interviewed as of February 2009 include: Howard Hay & Transportation, Rose Lane Nursing Home, Central Nebraska Community Services, Bullett Weights, Cook & Beal’s, Ken’s Equiptment, and Loop Realty.
Preliminary findings indicate that all major employers interviewed to date are “highly satisfied” with the area workforce, but primary challenges involve finding more help and quality housing to keep them in the area. They all rated the business climate and school system as “very good”.
