Over the last year, Lincoln residents have seen a number of artistic renderings portraying the tentative design of the Pinnacle Bank Arena. To be expected, reactions to the design have been strong. Some citizens feel the design’s modern look represents the city's giant 'step' into the future. Others, however, question the modern design’s ‘place’ within the historic Haymarket district. Both opinions are valid and merit consideration during the final design process. To help make this happen, the city is utilizing the services of its design review boards—the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) and the Urban Design Committee (UDC)—assisted by Historic Preservation Planner, Ed Zimmer.
