Big reason why the mayor is so eager and worked so hard to get the library moved, because of the pressure she has been getting from some of the Omaha power brokers. Kiew...

Also, they mention that there will be room to build an additional building for future growth, which I am assuming is the building in the background. So, it looks like parking won't be much of an issue for them.

I actually like this design more than their downtown version. It's going to be at least as tall as BCBS too, which will be fun I guess. I was still rooting for downtown, but this is much better than Boystown.

Re: Omaha Annexation 2016
The attached map says the population of the annexed areas as of 2010 is a hair over 6000, so add that to our 2014 estimate of 446000 and that puts us up to 452000 - even with Virginia Beach, VA.
