Fantastic news this morning in that the City Council approved Randy Acher's plans for the block he owns just south of the Gold's building downtown. This despite opposition from the Downtown Lincoln Association, whose board members care less about Downtown Lincoln than their own interests in downtown.
We've seen plenty of project proposals come and go downtown, so until the final nail is pounded I'm not going to get too excited over this. Still, it's fun to think ahead. Square-block parking lots have no place in a vibrant downtown. Mr. Acher plans to replace his lot with a hotel, apartments, an entertainment center, and a parking garage. That's a heck of an improvement.
Now, as a certain gentleman from southeast Nebraska is prone to say, let's get 'er done, Mr. Acher.
