Hear how the community of Sidney, NE turned their community around after the departure of Cabela's/Bass Pro. When Bass Pro bought out long time business Cabela's and moved the operations to Missouri, citizens of Sidney made a decision to prove people wrong. One newspaper article was even published that the last person out of Sidney should turn out the lights. The citizens came together and made a difference in their community. They went from having over 200 houses for sale after the closing of the headquarters to being in a housing shortage in 2024.
The July HomeNE webinar featured Minden’s transformation of a long-vacant historic building into five affordable housing units and a new downtown business. Presenters shared financing strategies, renovation lessons, and the partnerships that helped create new housing opportunities and revitalize the community.
