Council extends Holland Performing Arts Center liquor license to new engagement building
Summary
The council approved expanding the Holland Performing Arts Center's existing liquor license to cover a newly constructed Tenaska Center for Arts Engagement and an outdoor green space connected by a skyway to the Holland building.
The Omaha City Council voted unanimously to expand the Holland Performing Arts Center's liquor license to include a newly constructed Tenaska Center for Arts Engagement and an adjoining outdoor green space.
Omaha Performing Arts attorney Colin Kozel told the council the organization seeks to extend the existing Class I liquor license for the Holland Building to the new building and the outdoor area, which will be connected by a second-floor skyway. "Omaha Performing Arts is really only asking that the liquor license be extended from Holland from the Holland Building to the Tenaska Center," Kozel said.
The request drew one public comment from Donnie R. Johnson of the Johnson City Christian Foundation and North Omaha Concerned Citizen Foundation, who said he had no objection to the Holland Center and offered unrelated remarks about a liquor commission vacancy.
Council member Festersen and others congratulated the Holland Center on its 20th anniversary and expressed support for the expansion. On a roll-call vote the motion to approve passed 7 to 0.
The approval extends the scope of the existing license to the new building and to an outdoor green space that will be enclosed by a fence; Kozel said the applicant will adhere to whatever conditions the council imposes regarding the outdoor area.
