History
In July 1990, a commercial area was announced and planned to be built on Interstate 80 located right outside Omaha, Nebraska. The factory outlet would cost $15 million and would be known as the Nebraska Crossing Manufacturers Outlet. Despite initial plans to break ground in early 1991, financial difficulties pushed its groundbreaking to 1992. Construction began in late 1992 and the mall began to open in October 1993. By 1995, the mall had 56 stores and total area of 200,000 square feet (0.0072 sq mi).
In December 2010, a major redevelopment plan was announced for Nebraska Crossing. These plans would increase the amount of property to 310,000 square feet (0.011 sq mi).

Why this record matters
“Nebraska Crossing” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Nebraska, Crossing and shopping provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q25111224. Authority coordinates are 41.099, -96.250. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
