The general intent and goal of the Kimball Economic Development Program is to establish a sustainable and diversified economy for the citizens of Kimball, Nebraska. This is accomplished through the recruitment of a variety and balanced new companies; providing new or expanded job opportunities; retention of key existing businesses; assisting in local business growth; stimulating new construction; aiding in the development of new industrial and commercial building sites; assisting local tourism efforts; and supporting Community Development projects that enhance the quality of living.

Some detailed components of “The Program” also involve: establishing a list of target industries and businesses; analyzing trends; assisting in planning and zoning; annexation development as necessary for industry development; enhancing aesthetic qualities of the community; recommendation of quality of life projects; providing for the training of labor; assisting in regional efforts; application submission for Certified City status under the Nebraska Department of Economic Development; and participation in key legislative issues. The success of the program will be measured by: the number of new jobs created; the number of jobs retained; the total dollars in fixed assets gained; the total valuation growth of the city; and the number of businesses recruited or retained.
