Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird and community representatives gathered Thursday to encourage Lincoln residents to support downtown businesses while significant and historic renovations take place during Project “O” Street.
“This generational investment will enhance quality of life and grow economic opportunity for the people of Lincoln far into the future,” Gaylor Baird says. “As the City of Lincoln makes this major investment to strengthen our downtown, we are calling on our community members to invest in the downtown businesses that strengthen our economy, enrich our quality of life, and make Lincoln a wonderful place to live, work, play and shop.”
Work on “O” Street began in early April, with the latest closure being on 14th Street between “N” and “P” streets for Boehmer Street Music District improvements. Crews will make street improvements, upgrade stormwater and water mains and install sidewalks, new lighting, brick pavers, tree grates, and more.
To coincide with the improvements being made to the district, Lincoln residents are invited to the Project NO Street Block Party. It includes a free concert from 6 to 10:30 p.m. on April 30, featuring local bands AM/FM and the Church of Blues.
