Your GO! Dollars at work

As the Greater Omaha Economic Development Partnership’s funding program, GO! continues to be the impetus for an exciting era of successful economic growth in Greater Omaha.

Launched in 2004, investments in GO! provide the resources to retain, expand and attract business, investment and employment to Greater Omaha, strategically market the region nationally and internationally, and improve the overall business and tax climate.

To keep GO! investors informed, in late 2010 the Chamber introduced Your GO! Dollars at Work email updates to disseminate consistent and accurate economic development updates.

Those messages are linked below. Find out how the Chamber and its GO! investors are investing in the future of Greater Omaha. Want to join them? Contact Patti McAtee, senior director, GO!, 402-978-7906.
