I haven't seen anything official, but Trenton Magid from Grow Omaha was going to be named to the Omaha planning board today. When I talked to him earlier this afternoon, there were still 4 items before him on the city council agenda.

I think he will be a good fit.

Weren't people on here ragging on him in the Grow Omaha thread? Is he a qualified candidate for that position? I'm honestly curious.

A few people on here don't like his sense of humor, but comedy doesn't qualify you for the Planning board.

He was worked with all the local entities around Omaha, worked with most of the development community, also developed a few of his own developments in the past. He has worked with both local and national businesses from around the country so he hears the good and bad about the planning and development in Omaha.

We were both at a presentation a while back with a few members of the Omaha planning department and several members of the development community. He brought up a lot of good points and asked good questions.
