Economic Development

Miller & Associates considers economic development planning as the catalyst of community vitality, economic well-being, and healthy business climate for any community.  We have a proven track record of assisting communities with economic development.  An example of this is when we assisted the City of Kearney, Buffalo County, Buffalo County Economic Development and The Buckle Corporation in construction of a distribution facility.  The facility constructed is over 200,000 square feet and it created 50 full-time jobs.  This construction project also included water main, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and paving expansions and/or improvements.  We assisted in collaboration with all of the previously mentioned organizations to receive approximately $2.6 million in funding from the Economic Development Administration (EDA), Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED), and City/County Re-use Funds.  We also assisted the City of Kearney and the Buffalo County Economic Development Council with acquiring a prime location and with site development for the Data Center/Technology Park that is northeast of Kearney.  Our staff, at Miller & Associates, has also assisted many other communities and organizations with economic development.  Other communities and organizations include Gothenburg, Lexington, Ravenna, Cambridge, Scribner, Imperial, West Central Development District, Northeast Economic District, South Central Economic District, Central Economic District, Southeast Economic District, and Dawson Area Development.

At Miller & Associates, our staff provides a unique brand of leadership to these communities and we assist them in formulating a creative, dynamic, realistic vision, and a workable plan of action for economic development, growth, and vitality.  Our full-service firm is a great tool for streamlining the process of development and growth in communities.
