All residents are encouraged to attend this public informational meeting.

The planning team is also in the process of developing a Downtown Revitalization Plan which makes recommendations on specific physical improvements to downtown Lincoln, including streetscape improvements, a conceptual plan for the public parks and courthouse square, parking and traffic plans, historical façade improvements, and a historical preservation plan.

Information about the Downtown Revitalization Plan will presented at a second public informational meeting at a later date. An announcement regarding the second informational meeting will be provided in the local news media and on the project website: http://explorelogancounty.com/
