LA VISTA
Community At-A-Glance
Located immediately southwest of Omaha,
Nebraska, La Vista is not only Nebraska's youngest city, but also one of
the fastest growing communities in Nebraska. Incorporated in 1960, La Vista
got its start when 335 homes were built with a scenic view of the Big Papio
Creek Basin - and La Vista was named for its Spanish translation -The View.
This thriving community in central Sarpy County, has established itself as
a progressive community poised for even greater success because of its rapid
commercial, industrial and residential development. The City of La Vista
has worked to keep up with this growth by constructing many new facilities,
including a new city hall/community center, public works facility, and a
library in partnership with Metropolitan Community College.
La Vista is strategically located only minutes from Offutt Air Force Base, the Omaha metropolitan area, Eppley Airfield and the Interstate system. It is considered to be a premier place to raise a family, start a business and enjoy life.
Business At-A-Glance
Business is growing at a rapid pace
in the state’s newest community,
particularly on the western edge along the Giles Road and Interstate 80 corridor
in La Vista. Businesses such as PayPal, THT (formerly Tenderheart Treasures),
Metropolitan Community College, Streck Laboratories, CLAAS Omaha, Oriental
Trading Company, Rotella’s Bakery, and Performance Chrysler Jeep, Toyota,
and Volkswagen are evidence of the strong business community that La Vista
has to offer. Future developments include a 300-room Embassy Suites Hotel & Conference
Center, new Pinnacle Bank branch, additional hotels, a major addition to
the PayPal facility, and a 125,000 square-foot Cabela’s retail store.
