Learn about the Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development and what an Economic Developer does. In the words of Kevin Koester, "We make the things happen that most people think just happen."
A native of York, Nebraska, Kevin has made Lincoln his home for the past seven years. In his role as Director of Business Development for the Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development, Kevin spends much of his time building relationships with businesses in the community and connecting them to resources that can support their growth and success.
Kevin and his wife Alli are blessed with two daughters, both under the age of four. With that in mind, Kevin spends most of his weekends coloring, playing hide and seek, and conquering new playgrounds throughout the city. Kevin’s passion for young people extends beyond his own children, which lead him to his position serving on the board at The HUB, a central access point for young adults. Kevin believes that all young adults deserve the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their circumstances, and is proud to support the work done at The HUB. In his spare time, Kevin enjoys baking, spending time outside, and supporting all things Husker athletics.
