Facebook - Almost

Although not selected for the Facebook data center project we are pleased that we competed on a national level in an effort to secure the largest single economic development project in Nebraska’s history.  Kearney should be extremely proud of our efforts to offer a competitive proposal that resulted in TechOne Crossing, a premiere shovel-ready data park.  Today, the 160+ acre site offers excellent access to data center specific infrastructure including transportation, water, power, and fiber.  We offer sustainable energy options, such as year-round free cooling and competitive financial incentives.   

We created the data park with the intent to aggressively position our community to attract technology industries.  We secured the interest of one of the largest tech companies in the world – and we will continue to build on that effort and momentum to be successful.

Public Hearing for Capital Improvement Project Suggestions

The Citizens of Kearney approved the ½ cent sales tax increase in 2005. By passing the sales tax increase this enables the City of Kearney to make capital expenditures that will help make Kearney a better place to live.

The City Council is accepting input from citizens for capital improvement projects and encourages citizens with suggestions to attend the City Council meeting on Tuesday, February 26, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. A public hearing will be held to receive public input.

The City Council and City staff encourages you to participate at the public hearing with your suggestions for City projects. Your suggestions might inspire new projects or influence existing ones. Either way, you’re making a valuable contribution to your community!
