About

MAPA exists to provide local governments with planning and technical support, thinking regionally and long range on the core issues that impact the vibrancy of the Greater Omaha-Council Bluffs area.

We serve a six-county region, including Cass, Douglas, Sarpy and Washington Counties in Nebraska, and Mills and Pottawattamie Counties in Iowa.

The Metropolitan Area Planning Agency (MAPA)-Nebraska Enterprise Fund (NEF) U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) provides funding for locally owned start-up businesses, as well as existing businesses seeking to expand that have been impacted by COVID-19. These businesses demonstrate the capacity to create and/or retain quality local jobs. Priority will be given to local businesses owned and operated by underserved entrepreneurs.

This RLF is a partnership between MAPA and NEF, funded through the EDA, specifically to support and advance small and micro-business recovery and resiliency related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
