Sarpy County missing on projects due to dwindling availability of sites
Sarpy County saw more than $460 million in building permit valuations issued in April, May and June. When added to the $210 million in valuations issued in the first quarter, 2022’s year-to-date $670 million represents a solid start.

Rainbolt said 2022 should not be compared with last year, when valuations issued at this point were an all-time high of $1.7 billion, mostly due to massive projects by Meta and Google. Those companies were still the heavy hitters this past quarter, with a $228 million valuation permit for Meta and a $21 million permit for Google.

Plats for single-family housing jumped year-to-date from 856 in 2021 to 1,294 in 2022, including large developments like Gretna’s Harvest Creek with 273, Papillion’s BelTerra with 224 and Bellevue’s Lakewood West with 178.

The county’s labor force has finally broken the 100,000 mark. It stands at 101,000 workers, with nearly 99,000 employed.

I am a bit confused about his comments regarding they lack of greenfield sites for development. Are they referring to shovel ready sites? Or have farmers stopped selling/marketing land for development in Sarpy?

I think it is because the South Sarpy Sewer is not built yet, so .ost greenfield that is left does not have an immediate sewer solution.

Ah yes, the massive sewer project. That makes sense!
