The Omaha City Council will be making a huge step toward moving the Tranquility Park Sports Complex forward.
During this week’s meeting, the council heard remarks regarding an ordinance to approve a contract with Kiewit Building Group, Inc. The more than $60 million contract encompasses the construction of 12 synthetic turn soccer fields, with $20 million going to a new interceptor sewer line to serve the area.
The initial build out will include grading for four additional fields, which would be finished in the future. If approved, Kiewit plans to start earthwork within the following 30 days and has a timeline to complete this phase by Summer 2027.
The city is seeking to start the construction as soon as possible to give the developer and investors of the surrounding area enough assurance to move forward on their part of the development.
According to the City Council, the developer has a hotel secured, but is waiting for the City to start before moving forward. The Council will vote on the ordinance next week.
