Mayor wants
global niche
LUEDTKE from Page 7
Luedtke said he thought that rede
velopment is important because down
town Lincoln's retail market is de
teriorating. "Ten years ago, 30 percent of the
(Lincoln) market was in downtown
Lincoln and has already dropped down
to 10 percent," he said.
One "political risk" Luedtke said he
took during his term was the proposed
destruction of Block 35. The project
involves replacing businesses on the
block bounded by 10th, 11th, P and Q
streets for the Lied Center for Perform
ing Arts and other businesses.
Currently, "there's been no actual
move on the part of the city to condemn
(the property), and there won't be until
every effort is made to be fair and
equitable with them (Block 35 owners),"
he said.
Luedtke said that 70 percent of the
owners would like to sell, and the Block
35 businesses will have top priority to
relocate into the Haymarket and other
areas by November 1988.
Luedtke also hopes to make Lincoln
into a regional distribution center.
Because of Lincoln's unique geogra
phical location, he said, "We are a nat
ural for distributing, goods and resour
ces to Europe and Asia,"
Luedtke said he would like to find
Lincoln's "global niche" by forming
partnerships with foreign countries
and cities to distribute products made
or brought here. Luedtke said that he
has the experience and background to
make these connections and continue
Lincoln's prosperity.
Luedtke, 63, is an attorney and an
experienced politician. He has been a
state senator and lieutenant governor.
Luedtke also has had positions in the
National League of Cities, human de
velopment committees and the Bipar
tisan Task Force 88.
Since he took office in 1983, he has
divided Lincoln's revenue sources into
three general areas: property taxes,
which are 15 percent lower since he
took office; city sales taxes; and user
fees or other receipts.
One form of city revenue involves a
project that Luedtke considers one of
his "agonizing decisions," the Lincoln
landfill. The city receives $8 a ton for
commercial haulers, which is expected
to generate from $1.53 to $2.2 million
annually.
Yet Luedtke is researching alternative
ways to get rid of garbage in Lincoln.
"We can't continue to bury our gar
bage in the land ... and we won't,"
Luedtke said.
