The North Omaha development offers a mix of affordable housing, restaurants and a farmers market, though there’s lingering doubt that it’s by and for North Omahans.
Led by North Omaha native son Othello Meadows, community leaders, city planners, philanthropists and business people launched an effort to revitalize the neighborhood with a development centered on high-quality housing. It also included business education and nonprofit support services. The goal: Increase prosperity and quality of life in North Omaha.
