LINCOLN — Gov. Dave Heineman joined a half-dozen state lawmakers Tuesday to praise a package of bills designed to improve the state’s economic climate for entrepreneurs, inventors and small businesses.
Heineman said passage of his four initiatives, along with one sponsored by Lincoln Sen. Danielle Conrad, gives the state “one of the strongest public policy strategies” in the country to attract and grow technology-focused companies.
“It puts a laser-like focus on growing Nebraska’s innovation economy,” he said during a bill-signing ceremony.
Conrad, who chaired a study last year of how to better support entrepreneurship, said Nebraska has made a “paradigm shift” in its economic development efforts by now targeting innovators and small businesses, not just large corporations.
“This is about jobs, and this is the No. 1 issue Nebraskans want us to focus on,” she said.
