A bold master plan aimed at rejuvenating Omaha’s historic Florence area incorporates input from more than a dozen organizations and entities including Florence Futures, Omaha by Design, the Omaha City Planning Department and the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce.
The $25 million plan outlines several downtown redevelopment and streetscape recommendations and lays out a blueprint for a new gateway park, an attraction that would feature a celebration fountain, historic village and winter quarters garden. It also calls for the establishment of a neighborhood revitalization area from State Street to Craig Avenue.
“This plan celebrates our rich heritage while renewing us for a brilliant future,” said Linda Meigs, chairperson of Florence Futures. “With this plan, Florence is poised to become a historic entrance to the city of Omaha and a link to regional tourism.”
