Uriah Kilgallin with Lincoln Economic Advancement and Development shared news about the future of the former Lincoln College Campus with the Lincoln City Council on Tuesday evening.

The "commercial" buildings on the campus are being purchased by a benefactor who will in turn lease and eventually sell the buildings at very low or no cost to Not-for-profit organizations or new businesses or industry that will come to Lincoln. The goal is to increase job opportunities within the city, and spur economic growth.

The original purchaser Chase Huston will retain ownership of all the dormitories on the campus.

Kilgallin outlined the plan for the council, and also submitted a press release to Lincoln Daily News about the new Breath of Life project pertaining to Lincoln College.
