Futurist Looks At What's Ahead For Norfolk, NE

September 26th, 2006

How can we be prepared to compete with the world market two decades from now? That's what one Siouxland community is trying to figure out.

"Visioning 2026" in Norfolk and Madison County, Nebraska has been working for months to formulate a plan for the future.

Monday night, a national "futurist," who has been studying the county spoke to citizens about to keep good citizens in the community. "If you want kids to stay here, you don't want them to leave and go to the east and west coast, then you've got to be in the position to get a better education and build up new jobs and entrepreneurs," said Dr. Marv Cetron, Futurist.

He says "Visioning 2026" will allow Madison County to stay ahead of the game. "It lets you know what the future looks like," Cetron said. "It lets people know, hey we want your input, we want to work with you."

The purpose of Visioning 2026 is to create a culture of adaptability, sustainability, and openness that supports community transformation in Norfolk and Madison County.
