Demolition and site work for a library in Omaha, Nebraska. Completed plans call for the demolition of a library; and for site work for a library.

Despite the criticism, TIF use is on the rise. From 2015 to 2021, total TIF approvals averaged $42.3 million per year. Since 2000, the highest single-year total was in 2016. Thirty projects yielded nearly $70 million in TIF loans that year. In 2022, a single TIF approval nearly matched that total. A $68.6 million allocation for a downtown Mutual of Omaha skyscraper was last year’s largest. The Mutual project, now estimated to cost $600 million in all, is set to reshape Omaha’s skyline and bring the Fortune 500 company to the former site of the W. Dale Clark Library at 14th and Douglas Streets in the heart of downtown. Of Mutual’s more than $68.6 million total TIF request, roughly $62.7 million will go toward project expenses. The rest would be for capitalized interest. An Omaha casino project accounts for the second-highest TIF amount at $17.5 million. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Questions regarding this project may be directed to (402) 444-5220 or via email pwreception@cityofomaha.org.
