Even though it might seem natural for the capital city to grow eastward toward Omaha, development in the Stevens Creek basin was literally blocked by a 15-mile-long ridge that prevented builders from easily tying into the city's existing water and sewer systems.

Great for joining the two cities into one metro among many other positives really good news to see.
