Groundbreaking Ceremony
The Nor-Park Subdivision is located just north of the NPPD Campus and the Nucor Detailing Center on Chestnut Street in the city of Norfolk.
NeighborWorks Northeast Nebraska, Mesner Development Co., and Progressive Builders, Inc. have created the Nor-Park Development, LLC to develop this 20-acre tract of land. After 2 years of planning, the subdivision is ready for development. There will be 28 single-family lots, 22 lots for townhomes, 15 tri-plex units, and 2 apartment buildings with 28 units each.
The single-family lots will be developed for homeownership, while the townhomes will be constructed for either homeownership or rental. The tri-plex units and apartments are planned for rentals.
In addition to the housing units, approximately 4 acres have been dedicated to the City of Norfolk to add a new city park in this new neighborhood. An established walking trail to this housing project and future city park, allowing citizens to access other parts of the community via the city-wide trail system.
The land was acquired from the Greater Norfolk Economic Development Foundation and Nucor.
