Benson-Ames Alliance
Community Spirit in Action
A January day in Fontenelle Park.
The Benson-Ames Alliance (B-AA) is a grassroots group of community leaders formed to guide the revitalization of the Benson-Ames area in northwest Omaha. Its borders are Western Avenue on the south, Sorensen Parkway on the north, Saddle Creek Road/Fontenelle Boulevard on the east and 72nd Street on the west. The group is striving to become a sustainable community that actively seeks a balance between its built and natural environments. Omaha by Design serves as the project manager.
The Benson-Ames Alliance Steering Council meets the second Wednesday of every other month at The Omaha Home for Boys from 11:45am to 1:00pm. If you’d like to attend a steering council meeting as a guest, call 402.554.4010 or email baalliance@omahabydesign.org.
