The Economic Development Administration awarded $153,000 to the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska on October 1, 2025, to develop and implement a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) under the Economic Development Support for Planning Organizations program (CFDA 11.302).

The CEDS process will bring together public and private sectors to create an economic development roadmap for the region served by the Omaha Tribe, which comprises Thurston, Burt, and Cuming counties in Nebraska and Monona County in Iowa. The strategy is designed to diversify and strengthen the regional economy, with emphasis on creating and retaining higher-skill, higher-wage jobs for the unemployed and underemployed.

Performance runs through September 30, 2028, with work performed in Macy, Nebraska. The Omaha Tribe of Nebraska, a federally recognized tribal government, is the award recipient. This is a Project Grant assistance type.
