The City of Wahoo is developing a Downtown Revitalization Plan, a community-driven roadmap that will guide future improvements and investments. This plan will help strengthen downtown as the community's economic and social heart.

The City of Wahoo was awarded a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) grant through the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) for the development of this plan. Planning for this project began in June 2026, with the final plan anticipated in May 2027.

Get Involved

The vision for future Downtown Wahoo will be guided by input from community members, business owners, property owners, and community partners.

Community Survey – Open through September 30, 2026

Community members are currently invited to complete an online survey at tinyurl.com/WahooDTRsurvey. The survey will be open through September 30, 2026. 
Paper copies are also available at the Wahoo Library and Wahoo Senior Center. 

Pop-up Events

Find the planning team to provide input at the following events:

Downtown Wahoo

Downtown Wahoo is an important community asset, and portions of the district face challenges related to aging buildings, underutilized properties, and changing market conditions. Existing conditions documented in the 2024 Downtown Blight and Substandard Study identified opportunities to strengthen the district through building reinvestment, business development, public space improvements, and infrastructure enhancements.

The plan will be used as a guide for the city to develop and improve the downtown area, as well as pursue additional funding to support plan implementation. 

Potential opportunities that may emerge through the planning process include:

• Building façade improvements

• Streetscape enhancements

• Public gathering spaces

• Wayfinding and signage

• Business development initiatives

• Downtown housing opportunities

• Event and programming enhancements

• Infrastructure and accessibility improvements

• Beautification and landscaping projects

Stay Tuned

Your local water supplier, in compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 and the amendment to the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1986, enacted an ordinance which provides for a program preventing backflow and back siphonage into the public water supply system. 

What is a cross-connection?

A plumbing cross-connection is defined as a connection between public water supply and a source of contamination or pollution. In other words, a cross-connection makes it possible for the contaminating material to enter into drinking water supply when the pressure of the polluted source is greater than the pressure of the water supply. This can result in either a back siphonage or backflow (a reversal in the normal direction of water flow). 

Hopefully, your local water system will never have a backflow problem that could endanger the welfare of its citizens. However, because potential backflow problems exist, it is important for YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY to complete the following survey.

Agenda and Minutes can be found here

The Mayor and Council of the City of Wahoo meet regularly on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the Wahoo Public Library, 637 N Maple St. They also convene as needed for special meetings which can be called by either the Mayor or by three of the six Council members. All meetings are open to the public and are held in accordance with the Open Meetings Act established by the Nebraska State Legislature.

If you would like to have an item added to the next regular meeting of the Mayor and Council, please print off the Agenda Request Worksheet, complete the worksheet, and return it to the City Clerk's Office at 605 North Broadway along with any supporting documentation by the close of business (5:00 p.m.) on the Thursday prior to the meeting. Once the item is received, the Clerk will contact you regarding the exact date and time of the meeting.

While each agenda is kept continually current and available for public inspection on request, the agenda is not final until posted on the Friday before the meeting. The City of Wahoo makes agendas available by email, on this website, and by posting at the Wahoo Post Office, First National Bank and City Hall. If you would like to have your name added to the email distribution list, please send an email to fasel@wahoo.ne.us.

Special meetings may be called from time to time as the need arises. Agendas for special meetings are posted at least 24 hours prior to the meeting time in the same manner as agendas for regular meetings of the Council.

The minutes of the Mayor and Council must be made available to the public within 10 days of the meeting or by the next meeting, whichever comes first. If the minutes you are looking for are not available below, please contact the City Clerk's Office at 402-443-3222.
