Welcome!

The Elkhorn Valley Region of northeast Nebraska is comprised of a four county micro-economy serving a retail market of over 104,000. Born out of the pioneer spirit of the 1870s in the Elkhorn River Valley, the communities have maintained high standards of education, quality of life and entrepreneurship that the early settlers brought to the frontier. Rural, village, small town and regional hub communities provide a variety of lifestyles, shopping, employment, education, and business opportunities. Just an hour from Gavins Point Dam on the Missouri River, recreational opportunities and historical surprises abound.

Located in the middle of the United States and intersected by U.S. Highways 20, 81 and 275, the Elkhorn Valley area offers exceptional transportation links to Interstates 29, 35, 70, 80 and 90.

The four county and sixteen member communities of Elkhorn Valley Economic Development Council offer a well-educated, productive workforce, shovel-ready and green field sites, and available buildings ready for your inspection.

Our “Resource Team” approach to economic development assures access to all available resources and is ready to serve your expansion and relocation needs.

Come visit, shop with our merchants and enjoy our quality of life and Nebraska hospitality.
We are the best of the Midwest - look us over. We are ready to do business.

Sincerely,
Jim Schmit, Chairman
Elkhorn Valley Economic Development Council
