About Us
2015 Vision is a group of business leaders in Lincoln who work together to champion and facilitate the implementation of projects that benefit the City of Lincoln, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the community at-large. The creation of the 2015 Vision group in 2006 was the result of several discussions among business leaders in Lincoln at the time. At that time, several civic projects had been envisioned and planned through large-scale public processes, but were not implemented, due to a myriad of factors including political will, lack of champions and needed funds. 2015 Vision was created to facilitate the implementation of these community projects and achieve the following goals:
- Expanding Lincoln’s economic base by fostering entrepreneurship and investment opportunities.
- Increasing opportunities for young people to become long-term Lincoln residents.
- Providing better jobs, affordable housing and expanded entertainment and recreational opportunities.
- Assisting UNL in fulfilling its research, technology, education, arts and athletics mission.
- Increasing public-private partnerships in order to implement more strategic community projects.
- Encouraging the pooling of private sector charitable giving and business investing in strategic projects.
