RDG's 2010 preparation and 2018 update of a housing assessment and strategy plan capitalizes on prior planning for Plattsmouth that included the Plattsmouth Plan, a downtown plan and downtown historic guidelines. 

Plattsmouth is a strategically located community within the Omaha metropolitan area. The larger region weathered the "Great Recession" and is seeing robust housing sales and a rebounding construction market. Unlike much of the construction that occurred before 2008, the Omaha metro area has seen an increase in the number of rental units, townhomes and other non-single-family detached products. Much of this construction has focused on areas inside the interstate loop, reflecting the growing interest in more urban environments. Plattsmouth is well positioned to capture a market interest in historic neighborhoods with access to businesses like those in Downtown Plattsmouth.
