These two pieces of legislation are critical for creating growth and a competitive advantage for our state.
LB1165 - The Grow the Good Life Act is an innovative approach to incentivizing businesses to bring new families to Nebraska, spurring on economic development and career opportunities here in the Good Life.
LB847 - Will grow apprenticeship opportunities for hard-working Nebraskans — helping develop and strengthen the workforce of our state for generations to come and provided an increase in state resources for start-up companies and small businesses in Nebraska.
I was honored to be joined in Omaha by Senators Kauth, von Gillern, and Ibach, as well as business and Chamber of Commerce leaders.
This is important legislation that will make an major impact and highlights our ongoing commitment to Nebraska’s future and development.
