Assemble Lincoln, Lancaster County’s standing committee overseeing the development of Lincoln’s Downtown Convention Center, has announced the shortlisting of three potential sites.
The following sites have been selected to proceed to the next phase of the selection process:
- Garfield Public/Private Site (near the 13th and “M” street)
- REV Development Site (the former Gold’s building near 10th and “N” street)
- The Post Office building in the Haymarket
“This is a transformative project for Lincoln, one that promises to boost the local economy. The rigorous selection process ensures that we’re advancing with the best possible sites,” said Lincoln Senator Eliot Bostar, Chair of Assemble Lincoln.
Michael Delano Jr., SVP of Project Development at Legends, added, “Our commitment to a meticulous and transparent selection process ensures that each shortlisted site is thoroughly evaluated to best serve Lincoln and its residents. Every detail is being carefully considered, reflecting our dedication to building the right facility. This transformative project promises to revitalize downtown, boost the local economy, and set the foundation for future community engagement and growth.”
Assemble Lincoln says each of these sites offers unique advantages, and further discussions with stakeholders and the community will continue as development moves forward.
