    NEBRASKA : THE COR NHUSKER STATE 43 larger cities and counties continue to grow. Between 2000 and 2010, the population of Douglas County—home of Omaha—increased 11.5 percent, while neighboring Sarpy County grew 29.6 percent. Nebraska’s population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. The most significant growth has occurred in the Latino population, which is now the state’s largest minority group. From 2000 to 2010, the state’s Latino population increased from 5.5 percent to 9.2 percent, growing at a rate of slightly more than 77 percent. The black population also grew from 3.9 percent to 4.4 percent during that time. While Nebraska’s median age increased from 35.3 in 2000, to 36.2 in 2010 — the number of Nebraskans age 65 and older decreased slightly during the same time period, from 13.6 percent in 2000, to 13.5 percent in 2010. RECREATION AND PLACES OF INTEREST31 National Areas32 Nebraska has two national forest areas with hand-planted trees: the Bessey Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Blaine and Thomas counties, and the Samuel R. McKelvie National Forest in Cherry County. The Pine Ridge Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Dawes and Sioux counties contains native ponderosa pine trees. The U.S. Forest Service also administers the Oglala National Grassland in northwest Nebraska. Within it is Toadstool Geologic Park, a moonscape of eroded badlands containing fossil trackways that are 30 million years old. The Hudson-Meng Bison Bonebed, an archaeological site containing the remains of more than 600 pre- historic bison, also is located within the grassland.

  • South Platte River Run Park Joint Project Proposal for Arapahoe County Open Spaces Funding
    South Platte River Run Park Joint Project Proposal for Arapahoe County Open Spaces Funding via The South Platte Working Group July 2014 PROJECT SUMMARY Communities along the banks of the South Platte River in Arapahoe County have been working to enhance river health and recreational opportunities along the South Platte River Corridor. Over six years ago, a consortium of mayors, council members, public works directors, city managers, county commissioners and other leaders from communities along the river, formed a group known as the South Platte Working Group and have pursued various projects related to toward these goals. This group is focused on improvements in the river corridor to enhance the quality of life for citizens and have identified this River Run Park project as a high priority in achieving their goals and objectives. The South Platte Working Group (SPWG) in conjunction with the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB), and the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) constitute the Project Partners of this multifaceted river improvement project that is intended to: • Replace failing grade control infrastructure; • Enhance recreation; • Increase access to the river; • Improve river health; and • Maintain effective flood conveyance. A concept-level design has been completed for this one-mile reach of river rehabilitation on the South Platte River in the City of Englewood and City of Sheridan between Union Avenue and the Broken Tee Golf Course Bridge. This initial project phase (Phase 1) and request for $1,292,000, will include channel improvements from the Golf Course Bridge to 1,200 feet south of Oxford Avenue, a mile of regional trail on the east bank, and park improvements north of Oxford Avenue including a cobbled beach area.
