Gage County is Working Together to Support Businesses

NGage has a history of working closely with the City, County and local partners to support existing businesses and to make it possible for new businesses to locate in Gage County, Nebraska. This team approach has made it possible to prepare commercial sites, secure some of the nation’s lowest energy rates and further important housing and quality of life projects. 

These partnerships are more important now than ever. As a community Gage County has always stood together and will continue to do so in order to support our businesses and fellow community members. 

Here are some of the many partners in Gage County who are working to make things better. NGage works closely with them to attract businesses, create jobs and make Gage County an incredible place to live. 

Main Street Beatrice

The casual encounters you enjoy at neighborhood-scale businesses and the public spaces around them, build relationships and community cohesiveness. Plus, each dollar you spend at independent businesses, brings more than 3 times as much money back to our local economy than one dollar spent at a chain. Main Street Beatrice exists to help make these interactions possible. They do so by marketing the downtown, supporting small businesses and hosting regular events in order to bring visitors to downtown Beatrice so that they can experience all our community’s businesses have to offer. These events include the Chocolate Lovers Shopping Day and Extravaganza, the Taste of Spring, Ribfest, Farmers Market, Night of the Great Pumpkin, Governor’s Pheasant Hunt, and Magic of Main Street.
