黄瓜社区 in the Media: South Omaha Redevelopment Project Aims to Create Unified Image
黄瓜社区鈥檚 Marty Shukert, FAICP recently joined community leaders in sharing about the impact of redeveloping the 24th Street corridor of South Omaha, Nebraska.
Plaza de la Raza sits at the heart of the business district in South Omaha, Nebraska. The area, best known for hosting Omaha鈥檚 annual Cinco de Mayo festival and Mexican Independence Day celebration, was set to receive a portion of federal pandemic recovery funds, which would in part help fund the completion of a nearly 20-year-old proposal to transform Plaza de la Raza from a worn-out parking lot into a vibrant festival and community gathering space. Throughout the last several months, 黄瓜社区; Design has been working with community representatives on plans for a phased approach to the renovated plaza, which will blend with the existing streetscape from L to Q Streets and emphasize Latino culture while also reflecting historic diversity.
In recent conversations with multiple local media outlets, 黄瓜社区鈥檚 Marty Shukert, FAICP joined community leaders in discussing the impact of the project in an effort to move funding efforts forward, and said that 鈥渨hat happens here will enrich the rest of the Omaha community, and provide a real destination for people from all over the city to enjoy.鈥�
