Re-Development Plans
Bellevue Future A Community Agenda
Community Agenda
The Bellevue Future Agenda is a plan that grew out of a community planning process
that involved hundreds of people in a number of capacities. People contributed to the process by
attending workshops, completing surveys, and participating in small group sessions. To the degree
that this plan succeeds, it will be because of these efforts by Bellevue’s citizens, driven by a
desire to build an even better place for themselves and future generations. The plan represents
a challenge to Bellevue, a challenge that the participants in this planning process have presented
to themselves for the next century. The Bellevue Community Agenda was completed in a dynamic
partnership between the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce and The City of Bellevue.
Fort Crook Road
Fort Crook Road Re-Development Final Plan
The Fort Crook Road Plan is the result of a two year study commissioned by the
Bellevue Chamber of Commerce and the City of Bellevue. The study was undertaken
in order to establish a market-driven framework that will assist the corridor in
its return to prominence and make it a popular destination within the metropolitan area.
The corridor is Bellevue’s “central spine,” and separates older development on the east
from newer, suburban style development on the west. Presented with an opportunity to
proactively guide the redevelopment of this aging community attribute, the study process
developed a market-based and design-oriented plan for the corridor, coupled with an implementation
strategy that will move the plan from vision to reality.
Vision Statement:
“Fort Crook Road is the central spine of Bellevue, the birthplace of Nebraska
and the home of Offutt Air Force Base. It is a beautiful, well landscaped destination that includes
a wide range of retail, restaurant, office, housing and civic uses, designed to create a livable pedestrian
scale. It includes the community’s largest employers and is a vibrant family-friendly center that is easily
accessible throughout the metro area, including via the regional trail system.”
Olde Towne Bellevue
The so-called Olde Towne area was once the City center. Significant growth from the late 1950’s
until the present has seen the movement of business to areas more closely associated with the City’s
center geographically. The Olde Towne region, as the name implies, is the older portion of the City
of Bellevue.
While it no longer functions as the City’s center business district, it nonetheless
holds great promise as a neighborhood commercial district. The community seeks to develop a plan that
holds and attracts its natural constituency as a thriving neighborhood business district. The development
of this core business community will also see seasonal boost from the activities in the parks, such as
RiverFest, the Nebraska State BBQ Championship and Music Festival and marinas along the Missouri River, as
well as the development of the Softball Village just south of the Olde Towne business district. The core
development of the business district will be our primary focus. For more information, please visit
