Hello Fellow Leadership Plenty Classmates!
I had to miss the session yesterday due to being ill. I would like to hear some summaries of what happened if you would post some of your 'takes' on it.
Please and Thank you!

Couple of quick highlights I had from my notes.
· Discussion on the significant impact of the taxable base brought by the new Ethonal plant
· Dept of Econ Dev has recently added a new out state staff person
· Everyone needs to check out their web site www.neded.org for good descriptions of programs and the new Nebraska Advantage Act.
· The concept of having one meeting a year for all area organizations so each knows what is being worked on. Hopefully eliminate duplication and finding needs that are not being met
