LA VISTA, Neb. (AP) — A proposed $175 million development in the heart of La Vista is hoped to pump new economic life into the Omaha bedroom community.
The Omaha World-Herald reports that the proposed "City Centre" project would bring apartments, restaurants, retailers, offices and a grocer to the now-empty section of the 84th Street corridor.
The largely private 30-acre initiative would be built on the Brentwood Crossing property in tandem with the first phase of a civic park on La Vista's golf course. The two pieces would be linked by a proposed amphitheater and walking trail leading from the public park into the mixed-use campus.
Together, the City Centre and Civic Center Park would form a downtown core that the city of 18,000 has never had.
