Build Grand Island is primed to build more of, well, Grand Island. The Nebraska Department of Economic Development has awarded the Grand Island Area Economic Development Corporation a $1 million grant through the 2022 round of Nebraska's Rural Workforce Housing Fund. The Build Grand Island program is a 0% interest revolving loan fund for developers to spur residential development, according to corporation President Mary Berlie. The program prioritizes owner occupancy and upper story living in Railside, with a focus on student, intern and young professional housing.
