Sheridan County

Located in the northern tier of the Panhandle, Sheridan County is known for its success in farming, ranching, cattle feeding, retail, manufacturing, and tourism. The communities within the county provide many benefits to new business such as a willing work force, municipal airports, good transportation access, a large retail trade area and many acres of land already zoned for industrial and manufacturing firms. Plus, with a population of almost 7,000, the county has a quality labor pool for any new business or industry coming to the area.

Sheridan County also offers much to new residents and businesses in the form of outdoor recreation opportunities, historical attractions and cultural sites.

Sioux County

Located in the northwest corner of the Nebraska Panhandle, Sioux County boasts a population of 1,549 people. Though primarily a farming and ranching area, Sioux County is also an ideal location for "Lone Eagle" businesses and those businesses looking to locate in a wide open, rural area. Relocating your businesses to Sioux County provides a number of unique benefits. Some benefits are living in a quiet, rural setting while still remaining close to regional centers of population and commerce (Denver, Rapid City, Scottsbluff), enjoying a small town atmosphere throughout the county and spending time in its many outdoor recreation opportunities (Sowbelly Canyon, Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, Toadstool Geologic Park, and more).
