More costs count for rural business parks

The law expands what counts as a Project under the Nebraska Rural Projects Act. At one qualified location, developers of a new industrial rail access business park can count buying and preparing land, building roads and turning lanes, rail spurs and yards, and extending utilities like water, electric, wastewater, storm water, and natural gas. Costs to help the first tenant also qualify if they do manufacturing, processing, distribution, or transloading. Work on nearby property you do not own also counts when it directly benefits the park and is critical, including rights-of-way, easements, and adjacent property for access. Site acquisition, site prep, transportation work, or rail spurs within 30 miles of the state’s largest man-made water reservoir also qualify. The act takes effect upon passage and approval.
