The Ravenna Economic Development Corporation is a nonprofit corporation that has a nine-member board of directors and works toward development in the Ravenna area.  The Development Corporation works closely with the Economic Development Council of Buffalo County.

In October 2011, Ravenna voters approved LB 840 and Ravenna's Economic Development Plan , two measures that will help the community control its destiny as a shining example of a rural community that upholds Nebraska's valued quality of life, attracts innovative residents and entrepreneurs, and remains competitive in an age of globalization and urbanization.  The Local Option Municipal Economic Development Act (LB 840) authorizes communities to collect and appropriate local tax dollars for economic development purposes.  Ravenna's Economic Development plan is the basis under which the Economic Development Program operates.

Ravenna's Economic Development program is a reflection of the community's forward-thinking, progressive and passionate citizens and business community.  The aim of Ravenna's Economic Development program is job retention, business expansion, business recruitment, job training and the creation of opportunities for local businesses to reach a global marketplace.  The success of this program will help to ensure that the quality of life for Ravenna residents is maintained and enhanced, allowing future generations to enjoy the same community qualities that current residents cherish.
