Welcome to the Benson-Ames Alliance home page!
The Benson-Ames Alliance was formed in September 2005 to plan for and implement the revitalization of the Benson-Ames Area. Covering a portion of north-central Omaha roughly six miles in area, it contains more than 800 businesses - including schools as well as civic and religious organizations - and 15,543 households.
The alliance is bound by 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 Benson-Ames Alliance plan, passed by the Omaha City Council on Nov. 21, 2006, sets forth a new framework of principles for future development and redevelopment projects in the alliance area, paying special attention to the design of commercial centers and their relationship to surrounding neighborhoods.
This page is your one-stop source for information on the alliance, its plans for revitalization and development, and ways to get involved.
