- Bonds: In Nebraska, cities primarily use bonds to finance large capital projects and economic development initiatives. Cities may issue bonds for public facilities, transportation projects, and other infrastructure improvements, often with voter approval. They can also use bond funds for public safety, parks and recreation, and environmental projects. Additionally, cities can use bonds to help finance economic development projects.
