What this is
Good Life Districts (GLDs) are designated economic development zones created under Nebraska’s Good Life District Act. The Department of Economic Development defines their boundaries and eligibility criteria to promote business growth and community welfare in participating areas.
Why it matters to you
If you’re starting or expanding a business in Nebraska, a Good Life District may offer tax incentives, streamlined permitting, or other economic development support that can meaningfully affect your operating costs. Knowing whether your property falls inside a GLD boundary helps you determine which programs you might qualify for before you sign a lease or purchase property.
How to read this data
This dataset is a boundary layer — each polygon represents one GLD zone. The most useful things to check are whether your address or parcel sits inside a district boundary, and whether neighboring areas are also covered. The DED determines the district definitions, so the boundaries reflect official designations rather than ad-hoc selections.
Where this leaves you
GLDs are defined at the state level by the Nebraska Department of Economic Development. If you want to confirm your property’s status, contact DED directly with your address — this map layer shows the official boundaries but doesn’t provide parcel-level lookups.
Look it up yourself
Open the map and zoom to your area. If your location falls inside a colored GLD polygon, your property is within a district. For program eligibility details, visit the Nebraska DED website or contact your local economic development office.
