An important part of the application process is to have letters of support from community organizations, user groups and the general public included with the application. Would you please consider sending a letter of support for any or all of these projects? Also, if you know of other supporters of Omaha Trails, please pass this along. We would need to have these letters to our offices by Thursday, September 27th. Please mail to:

City of Omaha Parks, Recreation and Public Property Department
1819 Farnam Street # 701
Omaha, NE. 68183
Attn: Paul Martin

Please strongly consider sending a letter support for these projects. The more support our community shows for these projects, the better our chances are to receive these Federal dollars to build Omaha's Trail system. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions on our applications for these projects. Thank you for your consideration.
