NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON

EXTREMELY BLIGHTED AREAS

COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA

(CRA) DESIGNATION

Notice is hereby given that the Omaha City Council has set Tuesday, July 18, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. as the date of Public Hearing on the Resolution approving the extremely blighted area designation for the following areas: Sorensen Parkway, between North 60th and North 72nd Streets on the North; North 60th Street between Park Lane Drive and Sorensen Parkway on the East; Ogden Street and Grand Avenue between North 60th and North 72nd Streets on the South; and North 72nd Street, between Ogden Street and Sorensen Parkway on the West.

The study area is comprised of Block Group 2 of Census Tract 65.06. The area recommended for the CRA and EBA designations is a smaller portion of Block Group 2. The study area displays the following conditions, which qualify to be designated a CRA under the Nebraska Community Development Law:

Older infrastructure in poor condition.

Having an unemployment rate of 6.83%, which exceeds 120% of the States’ unemployment rate of 3.396%.

Obsolescence if structures-building having a median range of more than 46 years exceeding the threshold of a 40-year average age, and having overall building conditions that are generally below city wide average conditions.

Having an overall average per capita income of approximately $18,252 which is lower than the overall City per capita income of $34,449.

It is the Planning Department’s assessment that conditions in the area comply with the requirements of State Law and warrant the CRA Designation. The designation of a CRA is necessary to use Tax Increment Financing (TIF) for future redevelopment.

The Planning Board recommended approval of this Redevelopment Project Plan at the May 3, 2023 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 18, 2023, in the Legislative Chambers, Omaha/Douglas Civic Center, 1819 Farnam Street, Omaha, Nebraska.
