In a recent op-ed for the Nebraska Examiner, Heath Mello, President and CEO of the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, a member of Bio Nebraska, underscores the importance of business tax incentives in driving economic growth across the state.
Mello defends Nebraska’s incentive programs as performance-based tools that reward job creation and capital investment. He highlights that Nebraska ranks 40th nationally in incentives awarded, and warns that weakening these programs could hinder the state’s ability to compete for new business and talent.
As the legislative session continues, Mello encourages policymakers and business leaders to stay focused on strategies that position Nebraska for long-term growth and innovation.
