Financial Incentives to Fuel Your Growth

We know access to capital can make all the difference. That’s why the City of Beatrice offers and supports a range of powerful financing tools:

LB 840 Loan Program

Our LB 840 program provides flexible, locally administered funding to support business development. Whether you need help with startup costs, expansion, or job creation, this program is designed to invest directly in your success.

Tax Increment Financing (TIF)

TIF helps offset redevelopment and infrastructure costs by reinvesting future property tax increases back into your project. It’s a valuable tool for making transformative projects financially feasible.

Built-In Business Support Network

You won’t be doing this alone. Beatrice is home to a collaborative ecosystem of organizations ready to support your journey. The City works closely with our Business Resource partners to ensure you have the connections you need.
