PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

AMENDMENT TO THE CROSSROADS

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 April 23, 2024, beginning at 2:00 PM in Legislative Chambers, 1819 Farnam Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68183 for the purpose of hearing testimony for:

 

Amendment to the Crossroads

Redevelopment Project Plan.

 

Applicant/Developer:

Woodbury Corporation

 

Location:

Northwest of 72nd and Dodge Streets

 

The Amendment to the Crossroads TIF Redevelopment Project Plan expands the plan area, updates the redevelopment project, includes an additional redevelopment project, increases the tax increment financing loan, and increases the proceeds from the general business occupation tax imposed within the Enhanced Employment Area. The redevelopment project site has been expanded to include a redevelopment project site located at the southwest corner of 72nd and Dodge Streets which is the Omaha Central Public Library.

The Planning Board recommended approval of this Redevelopment Project Plan at the March 6, 2024 public hearing.

The Amendment to the Crossroads TIF Redevelopment Project Plan Area authorizes the City’s participation in the redevelopment of this project through the allocation of additional Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds to increase the TIF loan proceeds from $79,400,000.00 up to $101,742,701.00, which includes capitalized interest. TIF loan proceeds will be used to offset eligible expenses such as acquisition, site work, infrastructure, public plazas, pre-development costs for eligible professional design service fees, public parking and other public improvements as required. The total estimated project costs are $861,713,000.00, which is an increase from the original $553,868,000.00, but are subject to change as final costs come in. Including the new library site as part of this redevelopment plan area allows the City to participate in the financing of the library through its pledge and issuance of tax-exempt redevelopment bonds.

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.

Such weeds, grass and worthless vegetation must be cut as close to the ground level as possible and shall be so maintained that the same do not extend twelve (12) inches or more above the ground at any time and such cutting shall be raked and removed from such premises.

Notice is also hereby given that Chapter 18, of the Omaha Municipal Code as amended requires owners, agents, occupants or persons in possession or control of any lot or ground, or part thereof, together with one-half (1/2) of the streets, alleys, and right of ways abutting thereon, in the City of Omaha not to litter or to cause or allow litter (as defined in said Ordinance) to be deposited thereon or to allow to remain on such property, other than in proper receptacles provided therefore.
