The Downtown Revitalization Program (DTR) is now in its fourth renovation round of projects. Downtown York continues to evolve as new revitalization projects move forward thanks to a collaborative effort between local property owners, the City of York, the York Chamber of Commerce, and Southeast Nebraska Development District (SENDD). As the next round of projects begins, the impact of this years-long program is becoming more visible throughout the downtown district.
Residents and visitors to York can see the impact of previous revitalization projects by using the Experience York County App. Simply download the app, select play from the home menu, and choose the yellow DTR York scavenger hunt icon to begin a self-guided tour. This will give a list of stores to visit in York who are or have been a part of the downtown revitalization program. Compare the archival photos with the new look and even submit your own photos with your friends or family in front of the transformations. This journey reveals how York honors its past while simultaneously embracing its future.
The City of York is beginning the process to update the City of York Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range visioning document that will guide how we grow, invest, and adapt as a community in the years ahead.
The foundation of a successful Comprehensive Plan is community involvement. Visit the plan website to stay informed and to participate. The website provides tools for participating in the process including an interactive map to use to share your ideas. The website will also regularly post survey questions to collect public input. Watch for announcements of survey questions and other opportunities to participate.
The City of York worked with JEO Consulting to obtain floodplain revisions in 2024. The revisions pulled several properties that were newly classified in 2021 as being in the flood plain out of the floodplain in the northeast section of town. The floodplain areas in other parts of the community were not able to be adjusted.
If you live in the northeast part of town and were required to add flood insurance after the 2021 floodplain adjustments, contact your flood insurance agent and/or lender to determine if you can change your level of coverage. The floodplain map change was announced in 2024. This posting is a reminder to property owners who may have missed the earlier message or who have forgotten to check to see if their status has changed.
