Mission Statement
Box Butte Development Corporation was formed in 1986 by a group of
forward-thinking, proactive community leaders. The founding fathers of BBDC were
concerned the two driving forces of Box Butte county's economy, agriculture and
the railroad, both could have cyclical natures and these tandem negative cycles
could have far-reaching effects on the county. Thus, the intent of an economic
development organization was to try to diversify businesses to mitigate dual
adverse circumstance in the two most important economic engines of the economy.
As a result, BBDC has identified an ongoing, three-pronged approach to
economic development, which includes recruitment of new businesses and industry,
retention and expansion of existing business and assistance of start up
businesses. The success of economic development in the area is due in part to
local, regional and national contacts with organizations and entities. It is
through those contacts BBDC personnel become aware of resources, especially
funding resources that are available to businesses.
