Gothenburg Improvement
​Company

The Gothenburg Improvement Company was established in 1961 beginning an organized effort to recruit businesses and people to our community. Over the past 50+ years business and industry recruitment has changed considerably. There is increased pressure to stay competitive with every other community in Nebraska as well as other states. Professional staff in the Community Development Office provides support to the volunteers serving on the Board of Directors and as project leaders.

Gothenburg is a community with spirit. It has a pro-business environment that involves people who give thousands upon thousands of hours of their time and talents as volunteers to “make it work” for everyone.

Gothenburg is the place where you’ll want to do business. Grow with us as we ”Grow Gothenburg.”
