PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — The city of Papillion is considering annexing land to its west that would take the city’s zoning authority to Interstate 80 and increase its footprint by one-quarter.
The proposed annexation would see Papillion’s city limits grow from 4,300 acres to 5,300 acres. The area where the city has zoning control would increase from 19,800 acres to 23,500 acres.
The area includes undeveloped land, industrial areas, the Fidelity data center and a recreation area. It has no residences and does not include Werner Park, the Omaha Storm Chasers’ baseball stadium.
The annexation is estimated to have a one-time net cost of $338,000 — for equipment such as trucks, snowplows and mowers — and an annual net revenue of about $2.2 million.
