"Public and private partnerships are often a cornerstone of tourism development in our state and encourage Nebraskans to play a role in regional growth. The CDBG-Tourism Development program has become increasingly competitive over the past several years and has helped fund projects in other Nebraska communities, such as Gothenburg, Hastings and Ogallala. We are anxious to help facilitate similar growth in Cherry County through NVV’s expansion."
