Scottsbluff leaders leave flood concerns behind

Platte River near Scottsbluff

SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) – As far as Scottsbluff leaders are concerned, their worries about summer flooding are over.  City Manager Rick Kuckkahn told Scottsbluff television KDUH that city government will refocus its attention on subjects other than flood protection.  The Riverside Discovery Center and campground have reopened, and any city-owned buildings that had water seep in have dried out.  Kuckkahn says Scottsbluff planned for flooding much worse that what occurred, but he says the city would do the same next time there was a threat from the North Platte River.
