CITY OF OMAHA

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

AMENDMENT TO THE REDICK TOWER

REDEVELOPMENT PLAN

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Omaha, Nebraska, will meet and hold a public hearing on March 2, 2021, beginning at 2:00 PM in Legislative Chambers, 1819 Farnam Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68183 for the purpose of hearing testimony for:

Amendment to the Redick Tower

Redevelopment Plan.

Location: 1504 Harney Street

The Amendment to the Redick Tower Redevelopment Plan recognizes the request to designate the redevelopment site as an Enhanced Employment Area and it proposes a comprehensive rehabilitation of Hotel Deco. The rehabilitation and renovation will further the preservation of this historic structure and ensure the Hotel Deco will reopen for business in 2021, continuing to provide luxury accommodations in Omaha’s Central Business District. The Hotel Deco has been attractive to the corporate business traveler, SMERF group business as well as to the growing group of weekend and leisure guests.

The Planning Board recommended approval of this Redevelopment Project Plan at the February 3, 2021 public hearing.

Implementation of this Amendment to the Redick Tower Redevelopment Plan may be undertaken pursuant to the powers provided for in the Nebraska Community Development Law, to include the use of occupation tax financing which will facilitate these efforts, without which the project will not be financially feasible and the Hotel would remain closed indefinitely.

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

Anyone interested in this matter should be in attendance. 

Elizabeth Butler, CMC

City Clerk, City of Omaha
