Spark catalyzes and leads projects that enhance existing neighborhood assets. We work with neighbors, business owners, and other stakeholders to drive neighborhood transformations where they may otherwise not occur.
In partnership with South Omaha leaders, Heartland Workers Center, the Omaha Community Foundation, and the City of Omaha Parks, Recreation and Public Property Department, Spark is helping to transform the public space at Brown Park.
The North Omaha Trail is an investment in public health infrastructure and a catalyst for community development. The trail is a cultural trail that’s content is framed and guided by the communities along its route and serves as a canvas for local artists and creatives.
Fabric Lab is a Black-led, multi-modal, intergenerational urban design lab, community hub, and access point that centers and supports Black spatial practitioners (architects, planners, creatives, and cultural entrepreneurs). Fabric Lab's goal is to serve as a community space for informing and shaping the growth and development happening in North Omaha and Omaha as a whole with innovative projects that focus on healing and stitching together the urban and community fabric of our City while building the capacity of Black and Indigenous spatial practitioners to sustain positive development throughout their communities.
