NOTICE 
OF PUBLIC HEARING
VILLAGE OF GILTNER 
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Notice is hereby given that the Chairperson and Board of Trustees of the Village of Giltner, Nebraska, will hold a public hearing upon the proposed Village of Giltner General Redevelopment Plan, pursuant to the Nebraska Community Development Law, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 18-2101 to 18-2157 (the “Act”).
The hearing will be held at the Village Office, 4021 Commercial Avenue, Giltner, Nebraska, on November 9, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard.
The purpose of the hearing is to receive public comment upon, and to consider adoption by ordinance of, the proposed General Redevelopment Plan. The General Redevelopment Plan establishes the general goals, objectives, land uses, building requirements, and authorized redevelopment activities for the community redevelopment area previously declared by the Village to be substandard and blighted and in need of redevelopment. The Hamilton County Joint Planning Commission, sitting as the Planning Commission of the Village, has conducted a public hearing upon the General Redevelopment Plan and has recommended its approval.
The General Redevelopment Plan does not, by itself, approve any specific redevelopment project, authorize any specific expenditure, or authorize the division of ad valorem taxes under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 18-2147. Approval of a specific redevelopment project, including any use of tax-increment financing, will require a separate amendment to the General Redevelopment Plan, a cost-benefit analysis pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat. § 18-2113, and additional public hearings.
All interested parties shall be afforded at such public hearing a reasonable opportunity to express their views respecting the proposed General Redevelopment Plan. A map of sufficient size to show the area to be redeveloped and a copy of the proposed General Redevelopment Plan are on file with the Giltner Village Clerk at the Village Office, 4021 Commercial Avenue, Giltner, Nebraska, and are available for public inspection during regular business hours.
