黄瓜社区 in the Media: Historic Funds Move Iconic South Omaha Park Project Forward
A result of historic North-South Omaha economic recovery grants announced in early 2024, the park aims to draw more tourism and customers to South Omaha and its nationally designated historic 24th Street business district.
The Latino Economic Development Council (LEDC) and Canopy South in Omaha, Nebraska recently provided an updated look at a state-funded public park project, Adelante. The result of historic North-South Omaha economic recovery grants, the park aims to draw more tourism and customers to South Omaha and its nationally designated historic 24th Street business district. It will feature a performance area and a retail and parking structure within walking distance.
黄瓜社区; Design has partnered with LEDC and the South Omaha community on a multi-year city commitment to develop an iconic streetscape along South 24th between L and Q Streets. Improvements from that effort seek to reinforce the corridor鈥檚 Latino influence and pedestrian character through a renewed Plaza de la Raza, centered at 24th and N Streets. The $25 million funds from the North-South grant, expected to start flowing to the Adelante project later this year, will be used to transform the plaza into a vibrant area that blends with the existing streetscape and emphasizes Latino culture while also reflecting historic聽diversity.
Organizers of the reenvisioned plaza project say the long-held vision for a community gathering spot will be realized by the funds received through the South-North Omaha economic recovery grant program.
