FCDC Holds
Strategic Planning Session
Fillmore County Development Corporation (FCDC) held a
strategic planning session on June 18th. Board members and several community members attended
the meeting.
The FCDC Board invited Ken Lemke, an economist with the
Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD), to present the “Target Industries Review”
that he prepared for Fillmore County along with the “Economic and Demographic
Trends for Geneva and Fillmore County and the Surrounding Area”. The information on recent and projected labor
force, workforce, and industry trends plus data on occupational and industry
wages was used to identify the relative strengths and importance of existing
industries and occupations in the study area.
This information was to help identify possible drivers of
the area economy and to be used as a part of a process to identify industry for
future retention, expansion and possible recruitment efforts. The quotient
analysis grouped five broad industry groups:
Construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, transportation and
warehousing, and finance and insurance as possible targets.

Economic & Demographic Trends study at www.fillmorecountydevelopment.org
or call or email the FCDC office.
