Benson-Ames Alliance
Community Spirit in Action
The groundbreaking ceremony for the east gateway to downtown Benson was held April 15. Pictured at the podium is Andrew Rainbolt, co-chair of the Benson-Ames Alliance Steering Council.
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 noon to 1:00pm unless otherwise noted. The public is welcome to attend – just give us a call at 402.554.4010 or email baalliance@omahabydesign.org so we have enough food. We’d love to see and hear from you!
