The Omaha City Council last week approved a resolution to create the Leavenworth Business Improvement District. Such districts fund maintenance and beautification projects within specified geographical boundaries. In this case, the Leavenworth BID will consist of properties and tenants with frontages along Leavenworth Street between Turner Boulevard and 31st Street. A board consisting of five or more members will be created to manage the BID. Omaha has nine other BIDs throughout the city. – Isaiah Ang
