Meet the Locals: Discover Life in Beatrice & Gage County, Nebraska

In conjunction with NGage’s 2018 Annual Meeting, the Growing Gage Communities (GGC) initiative kicked off a partnership among NGage, the Heartland Center for Leadership Development, and University of Nebraska Extension, with the backing of a grant for nearly $100,000 from the USDA. GGC would seek to identify and help fund community facility improvement projects through surveys, community meetings, long-range goal planning, community perception, and more. The 2018 year finished with a resource provider meeting, where technical and financial assistance organizations gathered to educate the public on ways in which each organization could benefit project ideas. The GGC initiative will continue into the 2019 calendar year.
