Introduced·1/22/25
Introduced Text

Adopts the Destination Nebraska Act to promote economic development through sports and retail projects.

The Destination Nebraska Act aims to boost the state's economy by supporting sports and retail mixed-use projects that attract out-of-state visitors. It allows for the creation of up to two destination districts, each lasting 40 years and covering up to 5,000 acres. These districts can issue bonds, impose an occupation tax, and enter into infrastructure agreements with the Department of Transportation. The act also redefines terms like "blighted area" and "extremely blighted area" and repeals the original section 18-2103.
