REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT PLAN

     NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Omaha, Nebraska, will meet and hold a public hearing on October 1, 2019, beginning at 2:00 PM in Legislative Chambers, 1819 Farnam Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68183 for the purpose of hearing testimony for:

     The Furniture Row Redevelopment Project Plan.

     The redevelopment project plan proposes renovation of a one-story retail building and its basement, vacant for several years, for reuse as a two level indoor parking structure with 122 stalls. Another five (5) surface parking stalls will be developed on site. A new five story apartment building will be constructed, integrated into and partially on top of the existing building. There will be a total of 158 market rate apartment units, consisting of 128 studio/efficiency units and 30 one-bedroom units.

     The Planning Board recommended approval of this Redevelopment Project Plan at the August 7, 2019 public hearing.

     The Redevelopment Project Plan authorizes the City’s participation in the redevelopment of this project site through the allocation of TIF in an amount up to $2,861,000.00, plus accrued interest. TIF will be used to offset eligible expenses such as site acquisition, site preparation work, the portion of hard construction costs attributable to rehabilitation of the existing building, architectural and engineering costs, and other public improvements as required. The total estimated project costs are $17,760,000.00, but are subject to change as final costs come in.

     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.
