Wymore To Receive $10,000 Grant From DED
The City of Wymore is one of several Nebraska communities to benefit from Department of Economic Development (DED) grants.
On Monday, April 6, 2026, the DED announced $1 million of awards to 15 grant recipients under the Civic and Community Center Financing Fund (CCCFF). This amount represents the total aid available for award. Four communities are receiving grants for construction projects, and 11 are receiving funds for planning.
The City of Wymore will be receiving $10,000 in planning funds.
“Nebraskans take pride in their communities, and it shows,” said DED Director Maureen Larsen. “Nebraska regularly ranks among the best states in the nation for quality of life. Investment in first-rate amenities helps communities recruit new families and businesses, while enhancing livability for current residents. Congratulations to the awardees of this year’s highly competitive funding opportunity!”
CCCFF grants support the development of public spaces and civic, community, and recreation centers—including multipurpose facilities with childcare services or other complementary uses. Awarded projects may include the conversion, rehabilitation, or reuse of historic buildings. CCCFF grants can cover up to 50 percent of a project’s total costs. Recipients must match the grant funds at least equally from other sources (1:1 local cost-share).
CCCFF is funded through a turnback of 30 percent of state sales tax generated by certain arenas and nearby retailers.
