Top 10 Reasons to Call Cambridge “Home”

1. People Matter. The word community means a lot here. People are the driving force of progress, take great pride in our heritage, conserve our precious natural resources, and create a vital rural lifestyle.
2. World Class Technology. It’s the Information Age, right? Cambridge has it! Our progressive Pinpoint ISP has the only link to Level (3) fiber between Omaha and Denver. Our broadband capacity is unrivaled for a rural area on the face of the planet!
3. Top Ranked School. The K-12 Cambridge Public School has it all—the teachers really care and the kids are serious community leaders! Our 1-to-1 Initiative gives 9-12 grade students a free laptop for use 24/7. Learning goes beyond the campus—to include our library, museum, preschool, and continuing education programs.
4. Business and Agricultural Leadership. Businesses are expanding and transitioning to the next generation with new vitality and tremendous local support. Mom & Pop businesses have kept Cambridge’s special identity preserved. Existing and new businesses are assisted through the Economic Development program. Strength and stability of our family farmers and their desire to sustain the Cambridge area into the future sets our town apart. Adding value to our agricultural products is recognized as a priority and a big success currently under construction, Mid-America Agri Products Horizon, has encouraged a positive momentum of growth.
5. Natural Beauty. The pioneers got this one right. Cambridge is built on a plateau where the Medicine Creek meets the Republican River. Visitors are amazed by the brilliant stars once studied by the great Pawnee Sky Chief, shining as brightly today through clean air and over unspoiled landscapes. Our lake, 10 minutes north is known as Nebraska’s most scenic.
6. Small Town Charm. “Our town sits amidst its natural setting as if captured in a Monet painting,” says resident and artist, S.L. Jonson
   
7. Golfer’s Paradise. The 18-hole Cross Creek Golf Links showcases diverse styles of play—both park and links styles.  It is affordable, challenging, and affords some breathtaking views. Three great lodging options and several great restaurants create a terrific weekend golf outing.  
8. Quality Health Care and Caring Churches. The Tri Valley Health system attends to our physical wellness while the five Houses of Worship nurtures our spiritual wellness. Our Senior services are outstanding.
9. Convenient Transportation. Historic U.S. Route 6 & 34 passes through the heart of town. Denver and Omaha are only 4 hours away. Commercial flights out of McCook and area cities are convenient. The BNSF Railroad serves the area.
10. We Welcome Visitors and Newcomers. This is a new concept to rural America where depopulation has been the norm for 50 years. We cherish the word “Hometown” in Cambridge. We hope new residents will set down their roots and build upon the real sense of place that can only be found in places like Cambridge.
