OTOC's Metro Area Development Committee (MAD)
Mission: Promote smart growth in the Omaha Metro area that is equitable to all elements of our community through research, education, and action
OTOC’s Metro
Area Development Research Committee (formerly Urban Sprawl Committee) was
organized in July 2001 in response to concerns expressed in the 2001 House
Meeting Campaign about Omaha’s rapid growth in land area, depopulation of the
eastern part of the city, and growing economic segregation.
MAD committee members are studying Omaha’s Master Plan, finding out
where developers are following and not following the Plan, and assessing how
westward development and annexation is affecting the well-being of the entire
city.
For more information on MAD and how to join
the research committee, call Clyde Anderson (932-7225) or Michele Jarzynka
(558-8116).
