IT HAPPENED IN SPRINGFIELD HISTORY

Spr 1958

Springfield's Main Street, 1958. Note the Missouri Pacific railroad tracks in the bottom of the photo. Main Street was a busy place the day this photo was taken.

In 1958, it seemed the small town of Springfield was on the verge of change. Springfield’s future progress was tied to the construction of the new Interstate system and the paving of Highway 50. Although less than 25 miles to Omaha, traveling seven miles or more over graveled roads made for a time-consuming drive especially during wet and snowy conditions. With a population of 450, Springfield residents and town leaders also realized that growth of the town was inevitable. In the late 1950’s, Springfield had an active business community. The Springfield Boosters was comprised of many local business owners who spearheaded fundraisers for area organizations to make needed improvements to the town. Springfield State Bank’s cashier, Robert Iske, reported the bank received several inquiries a week from folks looking for housing in Springfield. Southern Sarpy County had just recently voted to form a new high school district with plans to build a new junior and senior high school a few miles to the east of town. Floyd McCarty, Springfield’s mayor, hoped that growth would be slow and steady. The future looked promising for the city of Springfield.

LIFT UP SARPY COUNTY 001

M.U.D. & OPPD Customers can Apply for

State Rental and Utility Assistance Program

Renters and landlords who are struggling financially because of COVID-19 can now apply for assistance with rent and utilities under the state’s new Emergency Rental Assistance Program. The program, which recently launched, is funded through the U.S. Treasury as part of a federal coronavirus relief package.

Omaha Public Power District and Metropolitan Utilities District want to encourage customers who qualify for the program to apply. Customers within Douglas County, the City of Omaha, Lancaster County, and the City of Lincoln do not qualify for the state’s program because those areas are receiving federal funds directly. They will operate rental and utility assistance programs separately from the State.

To learn more about the state’s program, customers should visit coronavirus.nebraska.gov. They can also call 1-833-500-8810 to reach the state’s contact center for more information, including eligibility guidelines, documentation requirements, and additional utility assistance programs.

To apply, visit: https://mcrcares.servicenowservices.com/nebraska_rental_assistance

Customers may reach utilities directly to find out what other financial help may be available:

For information on M.U.D.’s assistance program, customers may visit mudomaha.com/covid19relief or call 502-554-6666 in the Omaha area, or toll-free outside of the area at 1-800-732-5864.
OPPD customers may visit oppd.com/EAP for more information. Those within the Omaha area can also call 402-536-4131 or 1-800-536-4131 toll-free, outside of the Omaha calling area.
