March 2019 marks our first infrastructure-focused issue of Native Business Magazine, and our fourth issue to date. The issue demonstrates how infrastructure is the backbone of all economy and business, creating the foundation for long-term sustainability and growth. Among the greatest examples of strategic infrastructure planning and investment in action is Ho-Chunk, Inc., the economic development arm of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. Our cover subject — Ho-Chunk, Inc. CEO Lance Morgan — shares with Native Business readers the forethought required to scale economic development on a remote reservation. Our March issue tackles various components of infrastructure: roads, buildings, legal and sovereign frameworks, dual taxation, broadband, data, utilities, telemedicine and insurance — to name a few. Our March issue identifies the ultra important role that strategic master planning and infrastructure development plays in achieving long-term economic success across Indian Country.
