Work is underway at the Sarpy County Administration Campus, where our team is helping transform the site to better serve the community. A key part of this effort is the demolition of two significant structures, the Old Sarpy County Jail, a 54,088 SF building, and the West Annex Building, a 14,880 SF facility. Removing these buildings will open space for a much-needed expansion of the campus’s parking capacity. When complete, the new lot will feature 217 total stalls, increasing from the existing 61 to an additional 156 spaces for employees, visitors, and the public.

The project is currently progressing through utility installation and paving operations. Laying this groundwork ensures that the new parking lot will not only be functional but also sustainable for years to come. One particularly innovative feature being implemented is the ADS StormTech system, a subsurface stormwater management solution built beneath the parking lot. This system works by detaining runoff water in underground storage chambers, allowing it to be released gradually at a controlled volume. By regulating the flow of stormwater, the system prevents overwhelming the city’s storm sewer network, supporting both environmental stewardship and long-term infrastructure resilience.

While the project is focused on improving access and usability at the Administration Campus, it is also being carried out with great attention to public safety. The construction zone is surrounded by ongoing county operations, meaning our crews are working in close proximity to employees and visitors daily. Extra precautions are in place to safeguard both the public and our team, from traffic coordination to site barriers and clear signage. Maintaining safety while ensuring efficient progress has been a central priority from the start.

This project represents more than just additional parking, it’s an investment in the future of Sarpy County’s administration hub. By reimagining underutilized space, incorporating advanced stormwater management, and expanding capacity for the growing community, the County is ensuring its facilities remain functional, accessible, and prepared for continued growth.
