REVITALIZING THE STREET OF DREAMS: A NORTH 24TH STREET CASE STUDY University Honors Program Thesis University of Nebraska at Omaha Submitted by Tiffany Hunter May 2019 Advisor: David Beberwyk ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the North 24th Street corridor in Omaha, Nebraska, to highlight the benefits of investing in commercial real estate development, propose tools for financing new development or redevelopment projects, and to suggest methods of building a coherent development plan to avoid gentrification. Commercial development provides the following: quality business space, accessible jobs for an underemployed populace, additional tax revenue, and a reduction in community detriments such as crime, empty lots, and low property values. The North 24th Street corridor has economic potential, as it is less than one mile from downtown Omaha, the core of the city.

  • An Invitation to Join the Edward and Mary Lucretia Creighton Society
    CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY An Invitation to Join the Edward and Mary Lucretia Creighton Society Creighton was founded in 1878 through a generous estate gift from Mary Lucretia Creighton, who wished to establish a school in her husband Edward’s name. Edward and Mary Lucretia, philanthropic leaders in the Omaha community, were passionate about higher education.

Thus, the students of Creighton College, now Creighton University, became the Creightons’ legacy. The Edward and Mary Lucretia Creighton Society,Creighton University’s premier donor recognition society, honors the foundation built by Edward and Mary Lucretia. Creighton Society leadership donors contribute annual gifts of $1,000 or more, ensuring that Creighton University remains a leader in providing the highest quality Catholic, Jesuit education to her students. Gifts at the Creighton Society level strengthen Creighton’s mission through support for: Creighton University’s area of greatest need, which allows the University to invest in people, programs and facilities that foster the spiritual, intellectual, social and recreational development of our students in the Jesuit spirit of cura personalis. Scholarships for our students who would otherwise be unable to afford a Creighton education and who are now on a path for professional distinction, ethical leadership and involved citizenship. Faculty development programs that enhance teaching and contribute to the expansion of general knowledge and the betterment of the global society. Creighton’s nine colleges and schools, giving our deans the flexibility to enhance their individual programs and support the important work being done by their faculty, staff and students by funding innovative academic initiatives.
