This is a pretty big deal. The mayor and city issued an IFRP this last may for a 6-acre site just southeast of downtown around 21st and L St. The plan called for a redevelopment of the underutilized area and 4 companies submitted by the Nov. 1st deadline. Check out this article and it'll better explain each team's proposal. Personally I think the 'Lincoln Town Center' proposal is the best, because it's much more substantial in size costing 73 million from both public/private sector. It will be very cool in that area in future years. Give it a read.

I also overall think the town center idea is the best and best bang for the buck for Lincoln. Â It's time that the $275 mil investment pays off and stop putting this valuable space to more government projects like a botanical gardens. Â There is enough park space in the area already. Â To get some residences in this area could help with more retail/commercial space to fill up as well. Â And the additional acres they plan to incorporate is just that added incentive to pick them. Â Even if it will be a phased construction. Â This project overall is the best of the bunch by far.
