Who we are
¡HOLA!
SOMOS LEDC
Latino Economic Development Council (LEDC) is a community-rooted organization driving economic empowerment, cultural pride, and inclusive growth in South Omaha and beyond. Southeast Omaha is home to the largest concentration of Latino residents in the state, representing nearly 36% of the local population as of 2022. In response to the needs and strengths of this vibrant community, LEDC champions Latino entrepreneurs, expands access to workforce opportunities, and invests in place-based strategies that build long-term prosperity for all.
What we do
Prospering Together

Through organizing, advocating and educating, we are building an inclusive economic future rooted in culture, community voice and leadership. Our work focuses on promoting culture and tourism, workforce development and empowering Latino leadership and influence to ensure South Omaha plays a central role in the region’s growth.
