About OEDC

Our Mission

OEDC strengthens the quality of life in North Omaha and for its residents through comprehensive economic opportunities and community development.
​
Our Vision
To transform the North Omaha community into a viable, residential, economically successful and vibrant community that enables its residents to grow and live in a prosperous environment.

Our Values 
We value the advancement of equity.  We believe that the root of poverty lies in the political and economic structures that limit equality of opportunity and restrict economic mobility.

Since OEDC was established as a Nebraska 501(c)(3) nonprofit Community Development Organization in 1977, that simple idea has led to significant growth and improvement in the communities we serve. We’re focused on leveraging resources to achieve positive changes that contribute to the social and economic success of residents, neighborhoods, and businesses in North Omaha and beyond. ​ As an organization, we serve as the developer for our own commercial and residential projects with oversight provided by an independent board of directors. We are the only federally designated Community Development Corporation (CDC) in Omaha – and a federally recognized Community Economic Developer (CED).
