Commissioners approve redistricting map

Antelope County Commissioners approved redistricting plans, Tuesday, although a final map, with township boundaries and village overlays will not be available until Dec. 17.

Commissioners listened to Josie Schafer, from the University of Nebraska-Omaha Center for Public Affairs Research, discuss how districts were proposed, based on compactness and equalized population.

Two changes from previous district lines include Neligh, which will use Highway 275 as a dividing line, and Orchard, which will be split along Highway 20.

A complete story on the new commissioner districts will be available in...
