Omaha auditorium

       OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Plans for apartments, offices, stores and possibly a new downtown public library at the sight of the old Omaha Civic Auditorium will be presented to the city’s planning board next month.
    The developer, Tetrad Property Group, envisions a grocery, a fitness center and civic buildings.
    Engineers’ drawings show four buildings on the site, the tallest at seven stories, arranged around and amphitheater and promenade.
    The four buildings combined would have a total of about 740,000 square feet (68747.68 sq. meters) and cost of about $200 million.
    The 62-year-old auditorium was torn down last year. Local leaders said the building was unable to keep pace with booking events at nearby venues.
    The city planning board meets May 3.
