Meet Javier Arizmendi, our next feature in SCD’s Meet Our Board series!

Javier has served on the Schuyler Community Development Board since 2016 and has enjoyed seeing the community continue to improve over the years.

What makes him proud? Seeing investment throughout Schuyler, from new housing and improvements to buildings to the care people put into the appearance of our community.

Looking ahead, Javier is excited to see new businesses continue choosing Schuyler. Each new business brings new opportunities, adds to our local economy and helps keep our community moving forward.

Thank you, Javier, for your years of service and commitment to Schuyler’s continued growth!

A little pantry with a whole lot of heart! 💚

Schuyler’s Little Free Pantry is available 24/7 across from the Schuyler Fire Station at 302 E. 16th Street. The idea is simple: Take what you need. Leave what you can.

Have a few extra canned goods or essential household items to share? Drop them off. Need something to get you through the day? That’s what it’s here for.

Thank you, Black Hills Energy, for helping make this resource available to our community!

Meet Kevin Hoffart, our Board Secretary and next feature in SCD’s Meet Our Board series!

Kevin has served on the Schuyler Community Development Board for 10 years. One thing he’s proud to see? The progress in Schuyler’s housing development and the new homes that continue to be added as our community grows.

What keeps him excited about the future? The community’s vote to continue funding SCD through the LB840 program. For Kevin, that support gives him reason to look forward to what’s ahead for Schuyler.

Thank you, Kevin, for your 10 years of service and your commitment to our community’s future!

What makes a neighborhood feel cozy? TREES! 🌳

Shade over the sidewalk, fall colors outside your window and a favorite spot to sit in the yard. Trees have a way of making a street feel like home.

As Schuyler grows, planting new trees and caring for the ones already here helps create welcoming neighborhoods for generations to come.

Need help picking the right tree? Send us a message! We can send you a sheet of trees we recommend.

And remember to call 811 at least two full business days before digging, excluding weekends and holidays. Wait until all notified utilities have responded before you start planting!

Meet Charlie Heavican, our Treasurer and next feature in SCD’s Meet Our Board series!

Charlie joined the Schuyler Community Development Board in 2006, bringing 20 years of perspective to the work we do.

What makes him proud? Seeing the community invest in its future. Two things stand out: voters approving the bond that funded the new elementary school and the housing built over the past decade, especially compared with the 1990s and early 2000s.

For Charlie, those investments reflect a community that continues to move forward, with more homes for families and a new school for the next generation.

What keeps him excited? Schuyler’s continued growth and its young workforce. He sees that younger generation as a reason to look forward to what comes next.

Thank you, Charlie, for your time, perspective and 20 years of service to Schuyler!

A little support for a program that does a lot for our community! 💚

Today, Schuyler Community Development presented a $3,000 donation to the Colfax County Food and Toy Program to help support their continued work for local families.

Thank you to everyone behind the Colfax County Food & Toy Program for the time, work and heart you put into making the holiday season a little brighter for families in our community!

Meet Lonnie Kitt, our Board President and next feature in SCD’s Meet Our Board series!

With 22 years on the Schuyler Community Development Board, Lonnie has seen how much a community can change when people keep investing in its future.

What makes him proud? Taking a closer look at Schuyler’s progress over the past 10 to 15 years. New housing, new businesses, fewer vacant buildings and improvements throughout town tell a story that can be easy to overlook when you see it every day.

For Lonnie, those changes are worth recognizing. He sees Schuyler making progress that stands out among communities its size.

What keeps him excited? The strong support for renewing LB840, which he sees as a sign that residents want Schuyler to keep moving forward. He also credits the dedicated SCD Board, staff and Chamber for their continued work toward the community’s future.

Thank you, Lonnie, for 22 years of service and for helping Schuyler see what’s possible!

If you’ve been to a wedding, quinceañera, dance or celebration at the Oak Ballroom, you probably have a story to tell! ✨

Completed in 1937, this Schuyler landmark gets its name from the native oak trees used in its construction. It’s also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, giving us a piece of history right here in our community.

But the best part? The people and memories that have filled it over the years. What’s your favorite Oak Ballroom memory?
