Flagpoles in Lincoln

The state capital and a university town in one, running on government, a very large campus, health care and a growing technology base. We cover Lincoln and the Lancaster County area, including the Nebraska State Capitol and the state office buildings around it, the Haymarket and Pinnacle Bank Arena, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln City and East campuses, Memorial Stadium, Nebraska Innovation Campus and the O Street corridor.

Wind here. Lincoln sits in an inland, open-prairie area, which works out to roughly 110 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. What catches people out in Lincoln is not the wind, it is the Capitol. The building stands 400 ft to the top of the Sower, and the city code limits the height of what goes up around it inside the Capitol Environs District, so a pole anywhere near the complex is worth settling at the planning counter first. The Haymarket is the other one to check before ordering: a Lincoln city landmark since 1982, on the National Register since July 2014, and the old warehouse fronts set the scale for anything stood beside them. The mapped figure across Lancaster County is about 110 mph, and it is not the part of a Lincoln job we spend time on: the city ends in open cropland on the west and the south, and a pole out there is sized as open ground rather than as a city site.

Most of the people who call us from Lincoln are state agency and county buildings, campus and school grounds, hospitals and clinics, banks and insurance offices, churches, veterans posts and community associations.
