158 Units total: 134 in the apartment building on Saddle Creek, and then 24 in 12 3-story row houses to be built on the north side of Pacific. There will be a neighborhood meeting on October 24.

It's even less of a factor because Chalco isn't incorporated. I believe La Vista's annexation goals involve annexing Chalco.

There's also an app that shows every single plane in the sky, it's airline, origin, and destination. So if you ever see a plane over head, you can just pull it up and get all of that info.

Like most of these threads, it's interesting to read the first couple pages of this one from 12 years ago. Credit to Nativeomahan for seeing this eventually coming.

A woman in La Vista says she is allergic to dogs so she could not get a Comfort Dog. Instead she has a Comfort Horse that she takes into restaurants and stores. She has a rule we all need to know ........ don't pet the pony. Channel 3 did this story- http://www.wowt.com/content/news/Flirty-the-mini...

Can you quote it so we don't have to log in to next door?

Another southwest thrust. Did Papillion and Springfield come up with an agreement as far as their boundaries go? I'd be surprised if they didn't come out with an aggressive annexation of their own soon.

Anyone who's been on this board for six months or longer know that one of my hobbies is complaining about the omaha world herald, the local monopoly fishwrap. Now, I will admit that recently the owh has reported on new non stop flights from Eppley. Or, more accurately it has either been contacted b...

I always thought that 144th was the line for La Vista and Gretna. I searched for an agreement but could not find anything. Would the Woodhouse dealership provide much tax revenue since you pay based on where you register a vehicle? Property tax on the dealership property. Sales tax if Gretna passed...

If you read the complete report one thing I found interesting is that the population numbers are based on old official census numbers. The actual population is probably closer to double that number. The report even stats something to the effect that a sizable number of new homes are in the areas si...

This is really starting to look amazing. The OWH Article makes it all sound pretty hopeful

Gretna is looking into a massive annexation plan that will more than double their land area and add around 2,000 people to the city limits. The eastern most boundaries of the city would be at 144th, skimming around Wehrspann Lake right up to Giles Road. It looks almost comical. Papillion is already ...

Financing I would assume. I imagine something like this wouldn't be the easiest to line up.

Weird article. Under the pic of the soccer field it says it's tough to keep track of all the developments in downtown Dettroit, so here a sample. Then it only really talks about Gilbert's building. Greg That's because that picture is a video. The OWH does similar things all the time where it puts a...

The article said they are looking at an "unspecified acquisition" a "big merger." I have no clue what insurance company they are looking at but I will guess Physicians Mutual. That would be interesting in as much as PMut. moved into the old Northern Natural Gas HQ that was suppo...

Based on some rough calculations, Mutual of Omaha has about 800,000 sqft. of space between their two buildings in Midtown. For comparison, Woodmen tower is about 525,000 sqft, One First National is 730,000 sqft, and Union Pacific has 1.1 million sqft, of which 780,000 is dedicated to office usage. ...

Those are some small apts. and a few have really interesting shapes. Wow, 580sq ft! That must be a record small size for new apartments in Omaha. The smallest apartment I could find in 2008 was around 700 sq ft. Huh? you realize those are studios right? By comparison, studios at The Corvina are as ...

The new Husker plates clearly didn’t go through any sort of real-world testing before going to production. The plates are nearly impossible to read from 20 feet out.

Went to the zoo today for the first time in about a year and a half and I was rather impressed with all the new stuff. The Africa area was definitely a big highlight, especially the giraffe viewing area and the new lion section. It was also nice to see elephants again.

I'm just curious why Council bluff's who has a large county way bigger then Douglas has never expanded as greatly as Omaha has. Stigma is my guess.

Lincoln better get annexing to make it bigger for us we have done our part! Btw why hasn't Lincoln annexed as liberally as Omaha has? There's a problem there.

I mean honestly as a fairly liberal Democrat who voted for Sanders in the primary I'm perfectly happy with this outcome. Stothert has proven herself to be a good centrist mayor and not one to walk the party line.
