Nebraska Public Power District's (NPPD) service area, located in the center of the United States, offers significant advantages to food processing manufacturers and related industries. Our communities have available industrial sites and buildings providing access to local, national, and international markets, a quality workforce, and a business friendly environment.

A Nebraska location means lower costs and increased profits for firms in the food processing industry. A recently published study found a Nebraska location offers average labor and energy cost savings of 10 percent when compared to 15 states, including states with the largest food processing industries. To download a copy of this study, open the PDF listed on this page (below) or visit the Targeting & Opportunity Studies page on this website.

A Nebraska location also means easy access to the University of Nebraska's (UNL) Food Processing Center with a powerful combination of extensive experience, unbiased creativity, and comprehensive facilities and services to assist food manufacturers at all stages of business and product development. The Food Processing Center staff brings a variety of business service, product development, entrepreneurial and work force training backgrounds to the process, which fosters innovative thinking and enables development of truly unique food products.

NPPD's Economic Development Team and our partners are ready to provide confidential, professional assistance with site location projects.
