Board of Directors
Subdistrict Map   |   Upcoming Agenda  |   Board Minutes

The Nebraska Legislature enacted laws in 1972 to combine 154 special purpose entities into 23 NRDs. These districts are unique to Nebraska. NRDs are local government entities with broad responsibilities to protect out natural resources. Major Nebraska river basins form the boundaries, enabling districts to respond best to local needs.

Elected boards of directors govern districts. The South Platte NRD Board of Directors are chosen in seven subdistricts in Kimball, Cheyenne and Deuel counties in the southern Panhandle.

The South Platte NRD Board of Directors regular meetings are on the second Tuesday of each month at the District office at 551 Parkland Dr. in Sidney.
