In an effort to clean up North Platte, City Development Department officials will be systematically enforcing ordinances beginning in the spring of 2020. The City will review each area of town and note code violations that deal with street trees, sidewalks, overhanging branches, weeds, alley maintenance, property condition and junk nuisances. Home renters and owners, and business renters and owners will receive notice of any found ordinance violations and the guidance for ordinance violations will be followed.
"We appreciate the pride that citizens take in keeping or city beautiful and safe,” said Layne Groseth, Public Service Director. “This is another step that we can take in an effort to keep our community attractive to residents, visitors, and potential businesses and workers looking to relocate to our area.” The City is asking residents to comply with city codes and take the necessary steps to meet the codes if they are in non-compliance.
Inspecting all areas of town will take a considerable amount of time. The review is planned to take place throughout 2020 and review of violations could run into 2021. The effort is a partnership with City Development Department, Public Service Department, North Platte Chamber and Development, Keep North Platte and Lincoln County Beautiful and North Platte Police Department.
Mona Anderson, Executive Director, Keep North Platte Lincoln County Beautiful added, “It is our goal to make this the best community we possibly can, but we need help from the residents. We want everyone to be part of the solution. This is no way meant to be a hardship, we want this to be an effort of our community coming together to make a positive difference.”
