Planning board approves Poppleton West TIF plan to build 63 affordable units, childcare space
Summary
The board approved the Poppleton West TIF redevelopment plan, a roughly $22 million affordable housing project by InCommon Housing Development with about $852,000 in TIF support and a ground-floor childcare space; staff recommended approval and the vote was 5–0.
The Omaha Planning Board on Aug. 5 approved the Poppleton West tax-increment financing (TIF) redevelopment plan, a multi-phased affordable housing project by InCommon Housing Development.
Bridget Hadley of City Planning described the project as the final phase of the Poppleton redevelopment: "It will be 63 multifamily housing units built over a 1 story garage and parking structure," she said, and noted a 4,400-square-foot commercial space on the ground floor that the developer intends to use for a childcare center. Hadley told the board the total investment is "about 22,000,000 and the TIF support is a little over 852,000, almost 853,000." The project, she said, meets TIF requirements and aligns with the city's master plan.
Cheryl Garst, representing the developer, said Poppleton East will have a soft opening Oct. 17 if inspections go smoothly and that Poppleton West occupancy is expected in June 2028 after a roughly 14‑month construction timeline. City staff recommended approval; the board voted 5–0 to approve the TIF project plan and forward it for required next steps.
