The Diamond District remains a construction site, despite city plans for Phase 1 to open in 2026 following CarMax Park completion. Meanwhile, in Grand Island, City Horticulturalist Brad Foster, a 42-year veteran, manages greenery at Island Oasis Water Park. He relies on a dedicated team of volunteers, including Jim Boggs and Betty Palu, who water and transplant flowers at Pioneer Park to ensure the city's gardens remain beautiful through their consistent community efforts.
