A 3.5-mile streetcar line planned for Omaha, Neb., helped convince insurance giant Mutual of Omaha to pursue development of a new headquarters tower in the city's downtown and will also provide service to a new science museum.
The Omaha Streetcar Authority, which held its first meeting on May 16, will oversee design, construction and operation of the line that will run from Cass Street to Farnam Street on South 10th Street, Farnam west to 42nd Street, and back to 10th Street on Harney Street.
