Each year, the Development Council honors outstanding businesses, organizations, and individuals through the Excellence in Economic Impact Awards. These recognitions celebrate those who demonstrate leadership, innovation, and a strong commitment to advancing economic growth and enhancing quality of life throughout Buffalo County.
This year, the Development Council selected Fast Forward to receive this recognition.
Founded by Dusty Birge, Fast Forward evolved from a Big Idea Kearney pitch into a leading utility technology company.
Specializing in automated inspection and documentation solutions, the company improves efficiency and safety for utilities and municipalities.
Its rapid growth highlights the strength of Kearney’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
