Including the Missouri Riverfront, North Downtown Omaha, the Old Market and Midtown Crossing

The downtown revitalization that began in the late 1980s, with the development of the ConAgra Foods headquarters campus and the Heartland of America Park, is the catalyst for the robust growth that continues today. Omaha’s unprecedented investment and growth now totals nearly $3 billion in projects completed or under construction.

Known for the effectiveness of its public/private-sector partnerships, Omaha’s current extraordinary growth is fueled by a unique mix of business, education and government. This has resulted in arts, entertainment and sport complexes, new office and education buildings, residential units and public green space.

Five Fortune 500 companies maintain their headquarters in Greater Omaha. ConAgra Foods and Union Pacific are located downtown. Mutual of Omaha, Kiewit and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. are located just west of downtown in the Midtown district. Many other large companies are also located downtown. Omaha has over 40,000 people employed in downtown and another 46,000 in the adjacent Midtown district.

Downtown is also the center of the performing and visual arts in Omaha, including Omaha Performing Arts (which manages the Holland Performing Arts Center and Orpheum Theater), Opera Omaha and the Omaha Symphony, plus dozens of small galleries, theaters and dance companies.

CenturyLink Center Omaha, the area's largest convention center and arena draws groups such as U2, the Rolling Stones and Coldplay. In 2008, CenturyLink Center Omaha hosted the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Swimming, which will return in 2012.

TD Ameritrade Park Omaha is a new $131-million, 24,000-seat stadium, to open in 2011 adjacent to Qwest Center Omaha, will be the new home of the NCAA’s Men’s College World Series.
