Hotel Proposal Blocked in Downtown Omaha | Omaha News

A new hotel proposal by Drury Development at 10th and Harney streets hit a wall after being rejected by the planning board — they say it doesn’t fit the city’s goal of attracting upscale downtown lodging. With a previous “no” from the TIF committee, the project now heads to city council for final approval. Local business owners like Jeff Jorgensen see growth as beneficial, even if construction is messy. The standoff continues as developers push forward while the city holds firm on its vision for downtown Omaha. Council’s decision looms in the next few weeks.
