Accomplishments 

HARP began in 2010 when a group of neighbors got together to see what we could do to improve the lives of those living in the Honor area. Eventually we had a public forum that was attended by 150 neighbors who staked out the future of our effort. The streetscape of our town was in focus as was access to the river. Over the years since, the group has advocated for eliminating the blight in town resulting in the teardown of the infamous Question Mark Building on front street that was recently replaced by a new residential development. The group also addressed Maley Park where a boy scout group constructed a new walking bridge and the construction of a paved non-motorized trail in front of the shopping plaza. The Platte River Inn was reopened with a new owner, a sandwich shop was opened and a new owner reopened Sweets (formerly Lumberjack Bar). In September of 2024, Weldon Coffee was established downtown including a cafe, fresh roasted coffee, and related products.

The 52 acre Platte River Park with 1,550 ft of Platte River frontage was established. It features a paved parking lot, vault toilet, beautiful lookouts, picnic area, a kayak launch, paved walkway into the interior blueberry patch, and two interior fishing ramps. It is stunning to say the least.
