The Quality Growth Fund / North Platte Economic Development Plan is up for renewal on the 2020 general election. We need your help in spreading the word about what this fund does for our community. A true 'grass-roots' effort will get us across the finish line- so help us, help you. Share our social media graphics and videos, post your stories, tell your neighbors what this fund means to our community. 
This fund has helped 475 businesses through direct and indirect applications. In the past 10 years, North Platte has had $358 million in new projects. Of those projects, 50 were greater than $50 million since 2011. Those businesses employ local residents and assist in our quality of life. We need this fund to keep North Platte competitive for future growth.
