Learn moreA real correction: PayPal is no longer here
PayPal's once-large La Vista campus (2,000+ employees at its peak) was sold in 2023; Omaha-based Kiewit Corporation now occupies much of that space. PayPal separately opened a newer, smaller West Omaha office in 2024, outside La Vista.
Rail access and logistics positioning
La Vista has access to Union Pacific Railroad rail lines, a genuine positioning advantage for distribution and logistics operations.
A genuinely strong Omaha-metro job market
The Omaha metro (which includes La Vista/Sarpy County) posted a cited 2.7% unemployment rate as of April 2026 -- 7th-lowest among 108 large U.S. metro areas.
