(CRA) DESIGNATION

Notice is hereby given that the Omaha City Council has set Tuesday, July 15, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. as the date of Public Hearing on the Resolution approving the 48th and Q Street (CRA) Designation.

The CRA is generally bound by L Street on the North, South 42nd Street on the East, Q Street on the South, and South 52nd Street on the West.

The proposed study area qualifies for designation as a CRA, in complete accordance with the Nebraska Community Development Law definitions for substandard and blighted, for the following reasons: poorly defined street layout, older infrastructure in poor condition, obsolescence of structures - buildings having a median age of more than 67 years, exceeding the threshold of a 40-year average age, and having overall building conditions that are generally below city wide average conditions, as well as having an overall average per capita income of approximately $22,750.00 which is lower than the overall City per capita income of $42,515.00.

The designation of the proposed study area as a Community Redevelopment Area meets the criteria established by the Nebraska Community Development Law. Approval of the CRA designation, will allow for the use of TIF to assist with the costs of future redevelopment.

The Planning Board recommended approval of this Redevelopment Project Plan at the May 7, 2025 public hearing.

A copy of said plan is available for public inspection in the City Clerk’s Office.

The Public Hearing will be held before the City Council of the City of Omaha on July 15, 2025, in the Legislative Chambers, Omaha/Douglas Civic Center, 1819 Farnam Street, Omaha, Nebraska.
