Opportunity Studies
provided
by NPPD's Economic Development Department offer
information showing the tremendous advantages
Nebraska holds for manufacturing over other
states.
The
studies based on model industries target certain
areas of production listed below and compare
the geographically-variable operating costs
for NPPD's service area in Nebraska with the
geographic areas where these industries have
traditionally been concentrated. The comparative
advantages of NPPD's service area are then quantified
by the two principal cost dimensions (labor-related
and energy costs) that vary geographically.

studies are provided in the following industries: |
