Plattsmouth WELCOME TO THE COMMUNITY Founded in 1854, Plattsmouth is one of Nebraska’s oldest cities. Rich in history and culture, our city is situated at the confluence of the Missouri and Platte Rivers.

Plattsmouth’s place in the discovery of the West was cemented on July 21, 1804, when the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery passed the mouth of the Platte River, just north of what is now Main Street Plattsmouth.

With our city seal that reads “Honor the Past, Plan for the Future,” Plattsmouth proudly offers a full range of excellent city services, including police; volunteer fire and combination paid/volunteer emergency medical services; and public works which includes water, sewer, streets, parks and grounds/facilities maintenance.

Visit the Plattsmouth Community Center, Twin Rivers Water Park and other parks — Rhylander, Memorial, Garfield and the Missouri River — to take advantage of the full range of fitness and community recreation opportunities.

Plattsmouth’s public library has a collection of more than 40,000 books, magazines, publications, CDs/DVDs and other electronics, a computer lab, quiet reading spots and gathering spaces.

In 2011, Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman presented the Showcase Community Award to Plattsmouth for outstanding efforts in the areas of economic development and community revitalization.

Whether on Highway 75, the roundabout at 8th Avenue or Main Street, Plattsmouth offers quality goods, services and shopping. Buy local to support local vendors!

Plattsmouth ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Plattsmouth has a positive business environment for new and existing businesses. The Plattsmouth Chamber of Commerce, Cass County Nebraska Economic Development Corporation and the Plattsmouth Main Street Association work together with the City of Plattsmouth for Economic Development and Community Promotion.

The city is very active in driving new businesses to locate in and existing businesses to expand in Plattsmouth. A new retail center has been developed along Highway 75. The center is anchored by a Hy-Vee grocery store that opened in December of 2013.

“The Hy-Vee subdivision is an important addition to the City of Plattsmouth as it offers increased retail opportunities to Plattsmouth and the surrounding communities,” said Lisa A. Scheve of the Cass County Nebraska Economic Development Council. “There is additional room for growth in the subdivision which CCNEDC is actively promoting.”

The CCNEDC works in conjuction with the city on business retention, expansion and attraction.

According to Scheve, the CCNEDC offers assistance to business through research on state and local incentives that might be available for new and expanding business and their employees to help with continued training and job growth.

“We would find ways to get your business connected on a local, state and federal level,” said Scheve The Plattsmouth Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC) is a for-profit corporation with 40 stockholders. It has a capitalization of $100,000, with capitol stock paid in totaling $30,000. PIDC was instrumental in negotiating the purchase by the city of a 60-acre site adjacent to the City of Plattsmouth.

ment efforts have been active and work closely with the city administrator. State and local financial incentives are available.

As a recruiting and retaining tool, financial assistance from the city is available and based, in part, on the number of jobs that will be created or retained. Businesses that may be eligible for assistance included those whose source of income is from manufacturing; research and development; processing, storage, transport or sale of goods or commodities; services; tourism; telecommunications; and headquarters facilities. For specific rules of qualification, check with the City of Plattsmouth.

A major redevelopment project in the Plattsmouth Main Street Historic District included new sewers, new sidewalks, new lighting and more making the downtown blocks (listed on the National Register of Historic Places) more See Page 15

colorful and lively. Several shops and dining opportunities await visitors to the charming blocks of downtown.

There are also proposed technology and industrial parks with available spaces for development. Many of the available sites are great locations for both rail-accessible and non-accessible businesses and light industrial businesses.

With multiple fiber options available, the technology park can accommodate almost any data or communications center. These developments offer employment opportunity for the people of Plattsmouth and the greater area.

Not only is the city interested in recruiting new businesses, but it is also active in helping existing businesses expand and create more jobs. With a nurturing environment for small business, the city is positioning itself to compete in the global workforce market.

Plattsmouth EDUCATION

Private schools

There are great schools in Plattsmouth, both public and private.

The Plattsmouth Community Schools is an accredited public school district that offers education for students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district also has an early-childhood program.

Plattsmouth also has two private schools. St. John the Baptist, a Catholic primary and middle school, offers pre-kindergarten through grade 8. First Baptist School offers a Christian-focused education from kindergarten through grade 12.

Community-supported schools in Plattsmouth began in 1857, about three years after the city was founded.

In 1868, Plattsmouth elected its first public board of education.

Since that time the district has seen many changes in its elementary, middle and high schools. And the student population of the district has remained stable after seeing growth in past years.

Under the leadership of Dr. Richard Hasty, Superintendent/Special Education Director of Plattsmouth Community Schools, the community-focused district has strived to offer the best education possible to students and to build a bright future for the district.

Dr. Hasty points to the accomplishment of students as proof of the district’s commitment to them.

“Our students have received many awards and scholarships for academic, athletic, and fine arts accomplishments. I believe all of these awards reflect the high quality of our programs from early childhood to the high school,” Dr. Hasty said.

Illustrating the district’s commitment to its students, a 10,000-square-foot addition significantly increased the size of the elementary school in 2010, helping the district better meet the needs of a growing student population.

Also, along with several other district-wide improvements, an elevator was added to the early childhood center to make the building more handicapped accessible.

The district purchased the former A & M Green Power John Deere building, adjacent to the high school, and See Page 19

18

2014 Plattsmouth Chamber of Commerce Directory & Buyer’s Guide

From Page 18

converted it into the Plattsmouth Academic Curriculum and Equipment Complex. This allowed the district to expand its vocational education and GED programs.

Plattsmouth EDUCATION

The district has also purchased a seven-acre tract of land for future expansion, perhaps for a new middle school.

With the widening of U.S. Highway 75, the population of Plattsmouth is expected to increase, according to Dr. Hasty. The school district is making plans now to accommodate the expected growth.

A new sports complex, Plattsmouth Activities Complex for Kids (PACK), is nearly complete. On the grounds of the high school, PACK will meet the needs of a growing student population and help enhance academic, fine arts and athletic experiences for students.

According to the district, the complex “will allow us to realize this goal and improve outdoor opportunities throughout the year for students in marching band, boys and girls soccer, football, softball, baseball and track.” The new complex has been made possible through many contributions from across the Plattsmouth community.

The school district also received two very exciting grants in the last year, said Dr. Hasty. One grant will provide for the construction of a greenhouse on the high school grounds. The other will be for a community walking trail on the perimeter of the high school.

Staying true to the district’s focus on education and community, both projects will, according to Dr. Hasty, allow the district to “increase educational opportunities for students, while engaging our community, as we seek to grow partnerships with local businesses.”

PACK The new Plattsmouth Activities Complex for Kids (PACK) includes new fields for soccer, marching band, football and for baseball and softball. Also planned is a walking trail around the high school campus.

The birth of Plattsmouth began when, in 1852, Samuel Martin received a permit to build a trading post on the western edge of the Missouri River. He built a two-story home and another building from which he traded. Martin also operated a ferry from Coonville, the present-day Glenwood, Iowa.

Nearly five thousand people lined Plattsmouth’s Main Street during the “Skrap Karnival” parade in August, 1942.

A town-company was formed on October 26, 1854, after the location was passed over as the territorial capital. The following March, the town was incorporated and named the county seat for Cass County.

The first town mayor, Wheatley Mickelwait, was not elected until 1857.

Plattsmouth HISTORY When Plattsmouth was founded in 1854, the Missouri River’s close proximity to the east end of Main Street brought extensive trade and travel opportunities.

Ferries brought passengers across the river, and paddlewheels docked at the town’s riverfront. Overland freight was also a big industry for the town during that time. The route out of Plattsmouth, having fewer tributaries to cross, was preferred by many to carry supplies, including military and civilian, to western outposts.

Bellevue East earns another economics title

One thing new, however, is the strength shown in the students who competed.

On March 28, Bellevue East competed at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus, claiming first place in the David Ricardo Division of the statewide economics competition (reserved for single-semester economics students), as well as runner-up in the Adam Smith Division for those in advanced placement economics courses.

Simmons said this is the fourth year the school has brought home the David Ricardo title, with students Sydney Enokawa, Morgan Gallagher, Alexis Reza and Kelly Speltz competing in their first year of the academic decathlon course, which covers economics.
