A few weeks ago this was a vacant store front in poor condition. Today, it is a new business space in Lincoln. The property at 515 Broadway is being renovated in compliance with the guidelines of the Lincoln Historic Preservation Commission and is now open as an Edward Jones office. The property has also been the topic of much discussion among the members of the Lincoln City Council. A grant application for TIF funding for the facade improvements was filed with the city in February. Though the council appears to be in favor of granting the request, the language of the application document has become a stumbling block in the process. The Council is now working to create a new document that will apply specifically to facade grants. Learn more about the TIF process and the new grant application in today's edition of Lincoln Daily News.
