About Dodge County

Dodge County sits just northwest of Omaha and serves as a major center of business and manufacturing activity. With nearly 37,000 residents, it combines metropolitan access with small city affordability. Fremont, the county’s largest city, has become a destination for industrial investment thanks to its infrastructure, available sites, and pro business leadership. Companies locating here benefit from a collaborative environment, strong utilities, and a community eager to support growth.
Economy & Workforce

Food production, advanced manufacturing, and healthcare form the foundation of Dodge County’s economy. Fremont is home to a growing network of food processing facilities and industrial employers supported by the Fremont Inland Port Authority, which offers multimodal access and shovel ready sites. Metropolitan Community College partners with local employers to provide workforce training in high demand sectors, ensuring businesses have access to talent that is both skilled and adaptable. With ongoing investment in industrial parks and public infrastructure, Dodge County is well positioned for sustained growth and long term business success.

Quality of Life
