McCook Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) has recently been accepted as the newest outreach partner of the Nebraska Investment Finance Authority (NIFA). NIFA created the Outreach Partnership Program to provide assistance for capacity development of local housing organizations.

“We are very pleased to award a $25,000 matching grant to McCook Economic Development Corporation as they utilize NIFA programs in creating housing opportunities for Red Willow County,” said Ted Simpson, Director of Community Development. NIFA’s Outreach Partner Program also provides training for the board of directors and technical assistance services for the housing program.

MEDC established the housing program through a capacity grant from the Department of Economic Development in 2001. Rex Nelson was hired as MEDC’s Executive Director in January 2004. Denise Ringenberg joined MEDC in April 2004 as Housing Development Director.
