Yes it does but it is not very active. There was a movement about 7 or so years ago to pump some live back into it but it hit up against the economy dumping. Plenty of empty building and a couple of bars, daycare, children's library and a few other businesses but not really retail. I will shoot a couple of photos some time.Coyote wrote:I've never thought about this, but, does Gretna have a 'downtown'?

McKenna Ave. it is west of hwy 6/31. Fly down the hwy and then West on Angus. I did not go check but I believe the google street view has it, most if not all of Gretna is covered.Coyote wrote:I did a flyover on Google Earth and couldn't find anything, what streets would that be?nebugeater wrote:Yes it does but it is not very active.

Gretna Auto Outlet, which aims to call Gretna home by the start of 2014.He said his used car dealership will be unique to the area as it will be inside a 20,000 square foot building. While construction has not begun, the building will stand just south of Highway 6 and west of Brian Street near the new Goodwill development.
The Royal View Mixed-Use Community is a private development project that got started with a group of local developers, business owners and entrepreneurs that have a strong interest in quality growth in the city of Gretna in a way that is not only attractive to the community but also fits the needs that the community has today and moving forward. The project itself has quite the mix. ...........................
I used to work for CHC and remember seeing some initial renderings a few years back but that might have changed since then. From what I recall it was going to be retail space and possibly a hospital to be built on the property as well. Also, I think the property is owned under Jasperstone development a company that spun off from Curt Hofer Construction. I'll try and figure out whats going on here as I still have some contacts over there.Trips wrote:Does anyone know the plans for the SE corner of 192nd and Hwy 370? This is the property owned by CHHH Investments (Curt Hofer, Castlewood Homes) It is directly to the west of the Alegent Health land. I saw a couple of dozers deep into the field with about a dozen work trucks this morning. It did not look farm related and I did not see any plans online.

I did see that the Rod Kush land was approved for a Senior Living development.

There was a brief period around that time when the exurbs were trendy. Before gas got expensive, people were bypassing the suburbs and heading for the exurbs. That was luckily a short lived trend.PotatoeEatsFish wrote:My parents were talking about how back in the 1990s and 2000s people thought Blair would grow a lot however It obviously has not.

Not true. Blair is just too far. Its a good 20 minute drive at 60 miles an hour to Blair from the North end of Omaha. If you think people are not moving in droves to Gretna, Papillion, and Bellevue look again.TitosBuritoBarn wrote:There was a brief period around that time when the exurbs were trendy.

If the trend continued, Blair would become more appealing to exurban types. It grew some around that time, but the growth has since slowed and it's lost people since 2010.GRANDPASMUCKER wrote:Not true. Blair is just too far.

Does anyone know what is being started along Hwy 6 in the undeveloped area in front of the Plume Creek development. This area has set ideal for a long time and this week there was some heavy equipment in there doing dirt worked. Looked like they started to put some underground utilities in and then are doing prelim grading for something. It looks to take up about the center 1/3 of the total area. I have searched and asked a few people and so far I have not figured out what is going on there. Yesterday there was a small construction trailer on site. I didn't catch the company name on the trailer yet

Why would they make 180th discontinuous as a major arterial street when they plan on putting an interchange in for 180th at I-80? I understand that there's some existence development along 180th, but that street has been in MAPA's LRTP for a while now.Trips wrote:Aspen Creek 2 is adding 280 additional houses just North of the current development. This will take them all the way to Cornhusker Road.
I also notice that Sarpy County approved plans to change 180th and 192nd from Harrison to Hwy 370. They are now going to make a road from 192nd and Cornhusker going NE to meet up at 180th and Giles. Picture is in the link.

Splitting this discussion into a Transportation thread: 180th Through Sarpy CountyTrips wrote:That was my first thought. Seems like it would only help the eastbound Hwy 370 drivers that wanted to go north on 180th. The 180th & I-80 exit and westbound Hwy 370 drivers would still use 180th.
I do like the idea of a diagonal road going 1.4 miles with NO stops vs. going one mile north and one mile east that would have a stop light.
The Gretna City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved plans by developer Frank Krejci to build Gretna Senior Living, a $23.5 million senior housing project near the northwest corner of Nebraska Highways 6 and 370.
