WELCOME Dear Gretna Community, Happy 2018! On behalf of the Gretna Area Chamber of Commerce and its members, I would like to thank each of you for picking up a copy of this book and calling on our local businesses year after year. One of the biggest reasons Gretna continues to grow and thrive is because we are a community. Thank you to everyone who shops small and local throughout the year. I would like to take a moment and give a personal welcome to our new board members: Mary Belfiore (Midlands Dental Group), Doug Ortlieb (Kingdom Insurance Group) and Lisa Sedlacek-Arp (Silver Ridge Assisted Living & Memory Support). These are faces and names you probably already know — new and old business owners alike — jumping in to share their experience and insight with us for the next three to six years. I would also like to say a special thank you to our outgoing board members: Andrew Consbruck (Dynamic Physical Therapy), Clayton Heavican (Access Insurance) and Bridgett Petzoldt (Black Hills Energy). I cannot count the number of volunteer hours these three have put into making our chamber and our community what it is today. 2017 was a fast-moving year for us. We kicked it off by launching our new #GretnaLife campaign at last year’s

business fair, and we will continue to promote this in 2018. We hope the hashtag GretnaLife resonates with you and excites you about all our community has to offer. As you look for the “Local” stickers around town, we hope you find new and exciting ways to Shop, Eat, Play, and Give Local. We are proud to have a continued partnership with the Gretna Public Library, making www.GretnaEvents.com a reality. Simplifying event sharing for both our members and the community continues to be a long-term goal for our chamber. If you haven’t checked it out, please take a minute to see what’s happening around town. You can even sync your calendar with it, so you never miss an event!

Our 2018 goal is to help our community and our membership be involved. We strive every day to create meaningful opportunities to connect you with one another. From the Business Fair to Gretna Days to the Holiday Tree Lighting, we hope to see you enjoying our community, because we truly believe we live The Good Life • The Great Life #GretnaLife. Sincerely,

Tim Matulka 2018 Chamber Board President

CHAMBER HISTORY

Chamber grew from a need to promote local businesses In the “old days,” Gretna business owners would convene at certain locations around town to discuss everything from taxes to business. In 1984 some local business owners, including Dan Washburn, Mike Wohlers, Joe Piccolo, Jack Koke, Don and Ed Frederick and Web Warren, decided a new direction was needed. They were looking for a way to increase their market share from the local population and resolved to come up with ways to convince people that they could provide the same goods and services at the same price that they could find in the “big city” but with less hassle and smaller crowds. At that time, Dan Washburn was a member of the Ashland Chamber of Commerce and was aware of its annual directory of member names and phone numbers so the public would have easy access to the information. He presented this idea to the group, and it was decided to approach other local businesses with the idea. By joining the group for $25 per year, local businesses could get their name and phone number in a simple directory that was distributed to residents in the 68028 ZIP code. The group chose the name Gretna Area Business Association to avoid fees with the state and national Chambers of Commerce.

In the early years they tried many promotions to attract customers — everything from giving away turkeys during the holidays to using homemade Gretna Bucks encouraged patrons to shop locally. In the early 1990s when the chamber had grown to more than 100 members, Chamber President Emil Beyer led a plan to change the name to the Gretna Area Chamber of Commerce. The name change was voted on, made official, and the Gretna Area Chamber of Commerce was established. Today, the chamber has more than 250 members. The chamber still publishes a printed directory and now maintains a website with direct contact information for owners of local businesses. The chamber is active in community affairs and in recruiting new businesses to the city, as well as promoting existing members. This is augmented by local advertising and ribbon cuttings to promote businesses new and old. Yet this is by no means the final chapter. As Gretna continues to grow and more businesses invest in the area, the chamber will continue to adapt and change to the needs of one of Nebraska’s most vital and growing communities.

Printed in 1996, one of the early chamber directories was a one-page listing of members. Submitted by founding member Harney Realty Company-Jack & Gloria Koke.

The Gretna Area Chamber of Commerce directory is published for chamber members, the Gretna community and visitors. Suburban Newspapers is pleased to partner with the chamber on this publication.

GRETNA HISTORY Gretna got its start as Forest City, a settlement near the confluence of the Elkhorn and Platte Rivers. Irish immigrants built dugouts and log cabins near the settlement, which was incorporated in 1858. But the Burlington Railroad had other plans for its route to Ashland. The rail line was built a short distance, less than three miles, from Forest City. Gradually residents began relocating nearer the railroad right-of-way to create a new town. The new city’s name of Gretna came from Gretna Green in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, home to some of the Scottish settlers of the town. The Lincoln Land Company purchased a deed in April 1886, and by August a plat survey was completed and recorded. Forest City dwindled; the only remaining trace of the community is the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery at 231st Street and Schram Road.

Downtown Gretna looks much the same today as this 1963 photo. Today, the City of Gretna and the Gretna Downtown Association are working on a plan to revitalize the downtown business district.

Left, built in 1888, Gretna’s Public School initially served all grades. This photo was taken in 1973, after St. Patrick’s Catholic Church purchased the building at auction for $55,800. The building last held students in 1971.

ABOUT GRETNA New city land

The City of Gretna has purchased about eight acres of land at the intersection of Angus and 204th Streets for future use. The city has completed a study for a new library and community center on the site. Further research is being done on structural options and cost targets.

Booming

There are plenty of dining and shopping opportunities in Gretna including at the Nebraska Crossing Outlets, above, and locallyowned establishments.

The Gretna area is seeing a boom in new housing. Much like the greater metro area, new neighborhoods are filing up fast. With several new subdivisions such as Aspen Creek (pictured below), Cheyenne Country Estates, Highlands Ridge and Remington Ridge, home buyers thinking of Gretna should be able to find or build a home in nearly any price range. Existing home sales are strong, too. To meet growing enrollment that is going along with the new homes, new schools are being planned in the Gretna school district. Aspen Creek Elementary and Middle Schools opened for the 2017-18 school year.

SCHOOLS Gretna Public Schools School District No. 37 was created as a small district to serve the village of Gretna in 1888. The first school was located across the road from the LaBorde Cemetery outside Gretna. A two-story brick schoolhouse was constructed in 1898 south of Angus Street across from St. Patrick’s Catholic Church. Its size was doubled in 1908, and a gymnasium was added in 1936. As the village grew, so too did the school district. Through minor consolidation over the years and a major consolidation in 1958, the district has grown to its present size of more than 70 square miles. — Gretna Public Schools Administrative Offices 11717 S. 216th St. Phone: 402-332-3265

the new school opened. Aspen Creek Middle School when opened was built with extra room for projected student population growth. Gretna Middle School was projected to be at 78 percent capacity for the 2018-19 school year. The high school is expected to have an enrollment of 1,345 for the 2018-19 school year and would be at 91 percent capacity, a district report said. These numbers were part of an updated district facility master plan presented to the Gretna Board of Education in fall 2016. DLR Group looked at historic and current enroll-

ment trends as well as planned housing developments within the district to compile the report for the district. The continued growth will make identifying future elementary sites a top priority for the Gretna School Board, the report said, as well as planning for the second high school. Projections in the report call for a sixth elementary school to open in 2020 and a seventh elementary school in 2023. A second high school also is expected to be needed for the 2023 school year, the report said. — The Gretna Breeze

A renovation to maximize use of existing space within Gretna High School is one step closer to reality. The high school fit-out will see space currently used for storage converted into classrooms. Designs call for nine general purpose classrooms and two lab classrooms with plans expected to equip some spaces for culinary, nursing and forensics. Construction is expected to cost between $1.1 million and $1.7 million. Work is expected to start in April, with substantial completion slated for early August. — Omaha World-Herald
