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 The Big Rack Shack to receive this recognition.
Led by Cody Freeze, The Big Rack Shack has grown into a successful export-based business headquartered in Kearney. Its expansion, including the acquisition of warehouse facilities, reflects a strong commitment to growth and investment.
By leveraging local and state development resources, the business continues to contribute to regional job creation and economic impact.
