Capital project
The Heartland News is seeking funds to build and provide a line of sidewalks of stars, containing the names of people both living and deceased that heave made contributions that made a difference in the world. These individual will either have been born and raised in Omaha around in other parts of Nebraska. The project will educate the public on prominent men and women from Nebraska. The project's aim is to offer a way the public will have access to view honorary recipients for their contributions and accomplishments. A fund in the amount of $400,000.00 is necessary to kick-off this project. The project will start off at the sidewalk on the southwest corner of 24th and Lake in North Omaha, and overtime, it will end at the the northwest corner of 24th and Cummings Street. It will be an ongoing project, issuing 4 stars a year.
Planning and preparation will start on November 1, 2022. Construction to construct the sidewalks would beginning on around May 15, 2023. The laying of the first star would be June 10, 2023.

Fundamental Change (i.e., a proposal that will continue to elevate North or South Omaha's presence and perception within the region, significantly improving the lives of area residents through physical development) Long-Lasting Economic Growth (i.e., a proposal that will foster gainful employment opportunities and financial investment in the area, leading to the creation of generational wealth and widespread economic vitality in North and South Omaha) Transformational (i.e., a proposal that will help energize, recharge, or spur significant and favorable advancements in North or South Omaha's function or appearance)
Other Infrastructure (i.e., develop or improve broadband, business districts, roadways, sewer, etc.) Sustainable Community (i.e., create or enhance housing, services, education, civic uses, recreation, etc.)
Too many prominent individuals from Omaha has made different contributions and/or accomplishments throughout the nation, but has yet to receive a Star of recognition in Hollywood or any other type or recognition elsewhere. Or there are individuals from Omaha that have received recognition in other arts of the nation, but are still not recognized or known for their accomplishments in Omaha. To address the problem, The HEartland News plan to buil and conduct a walk-of-Fame in Omaha that will recognize our hometown heroes for their achievements and contributions to the world. The proposed project will offer encouragement to the youth, as well as the adults, as it educate the public about the individual being honored with a star at an open ceremony.
The project would improve the aging infrastructure, which i a barrier for attracting investments and maintaining quality of life. Furthermore, the project would help North Omaha broadband and public infrastructure meet current needs. As well as improve the negative external media/perception.
The proposal with help will the social and economic challenge that North Omaha have persisted for multiple generations, partially fueled by past racial segregation and historical practice known as redlining. This is mentioned Sec. 2 (4). Also sec. 4.(d)"...and no less than fifty-five million dollars in such grants allocated to eligible grantees which are located north of Dodge Street and east of 72nd Street in such city.

Hiring construction to make stars and lay stars. Workers to maintain the sidewalks throughout the years.
The Omaha Walk-of -Fame will be a tourist attraction to draw more visitors to Omaha;
When tourist are attracted to the Omaha's Walk-of-Fame from around the nation, that will bring an unlimited amount of cash to the businesses in the community as well as businesses in the surrounding areas; The walk-of-Fame will also encourage others, especially the youth, that through hard work and dedication they will discover the potential and skills needed in order to make their dreams come true and perhaps, some day, be honored with their own star.
The project will provide a unique way for the community to honor their hometown heroes through ceremonies an a Star as a lifetime achievement award.
It will improve the education about the individuals from Nebraska that are honored around the world about their achievements, but not about the person's personal connection to Nebraska.
The outcomes of the project would be difficult to measure, simply because it would be based on the individual be honored and how the each person in the community view that individual.
