Soul of the Prairie Region celebrates the deep-rooted connection to the prairie, where farming traditions meet modern innovation. It speaks to multi-generational success stories of families who’ve built lasting legacies in agriculture, healthcare, energy, and beyond. There is a deep pride in our region’s ability to preserve its values while embracing progress – where parents can raise their children with the same strong values they grew up with, or wish they did, surrounded by supportive neighbors and abundant opportunities.

There’s potential in the prairie. Region 2 offers the perfect blend of career advancement and quality living. Here, you can have the satisfaction of building a meaningful career while having time to coach your kid’s sports team or tend to your garden. We cherish practical benefits — affordable housing that gives you more space to grow, shorter commutes that give you back precious time, and career paths that offer both stability and growth.
We are an integrated community. Here, you will experience genuine warmth of prairie hospitality, where newcomers quickly become neighbors and neighbors become family. There is joy in belonging, whether it’s joining the local farmer’s market committee, participating in county fairs, or being part of school board meetings. This isn’t just about having a job; it’s about having a voice in shaping your community’s future.
