Industrial Meeting In North Platte Promotes Growth
North Platte residents heard Robert W. Shively of Nebraska Public Power District urge unity to boost industrial development. He noted Nebraska’s 1960–70 net out migration of 89,670 people, or 8,967 yearly, equating to losing a town like Sutherland each month for a decade. Emphasizing six development phases, he urged ongoing community action, prospecting, selling, negotiation, and maintenance, plus prompt replies to inquiries. Call 402 564-3161 for assistance.
