Council continues blight designation for Flack Avenue/E. Third corridor to support redevelopment
Summary
Resolution No. 26-65 reaffirmed that the Flack Avenue and East Third Street corridor remains substandard and blighted under state law, noting vacancies and infrastructure shortfalls despite some new commercial activity.
Staff reviewed the 2011 study and reported ongoing vacancies and underutilized properties in the Flack Avenue and East Third Street corridor, including closures of businesses and institutions and continuing pedestrian-infrastructure deficiencies. While some redevelopment (microbrewery, Dollar General, storage units) has occurred, staff recommended maintaining the substandard/blighted designation to enable redevelopment activity and grant-eligible projects under Nebraska law.
Council voted unanimously to approve Resolution No. 26-65; Community Development Director Kusek presented the report and answered council questions.
