Mayor John Ewing’s 2027 budget proposes $1.7 billion with zero property tax hikes, prioritizing growth and staffing—especially for the Omaha Police Department, aiming for 906 officers. Key investments include hiring across city departments, launching a youth sports complex in Northwest Omaha, and building a $150M joint fire/police headquarters to address safety concerns like asbestos in the current police building. City council will vote on August 25th, with implementation starting January 1, 2027.
