Wilson Packing Plant

The Wilson Packing Plant was a division of the Wilson and Company meatpacking company located near South 27th and Y Streets in South Omaha, Nebraska.

[2][3] The South Omaha Neighborhood Alliance, formed in 1965, was apparently instrumental in the "closing and clean-up" of the Wilson plant.

[4] The former plant and its site was redeveloped to be turned into an industrial park in 2003.

[5] Instead, the city's new Kroc Center was built on the site.

[6] There were a number of large riots and civil unrest that originated or included events at the Wilson Packing Plant.
