N4VB is a Win for LNK
Volleyball unites Lincoln families, fills arenas and sells out stadiums. But right now, even in the volleyball capital of the world, too many young girls who want to play never get the chance.
Now, Lincoln voters have an opportunity to reclaim a portion of our own state sales tax to build the N4VB facility, ensuring that no Lincoln athlete is sidelined just because our community is out of court space.
What We're Building
A cutting-edge indoor volleyball complex in Northeast Lincoln designed to open doors for the next generation of Nebraska talent without raising local taxes.
- Eight indoor courts with the ability to expand to 12
- Recreation activities for all ages and ability levels
- Scholarship programs that prioritize talent, not income
- Sports mentorship with college athletes
- Title 1 and nonprofit afterschool partnerships
I’m proud to support this facility and, more importantly, the movement behind it. It’s a movement that says: Every kid deserves the chance to play. Every kid deserves the chance to dream big. Every kid deserves the chance to belong.

A Vote FOR N4VB is a Clean Sweep for LNK
No Tax Increase
Voting FOR N4VB means a portion of the state sales taxes already generated by the project area will be used to help build the volleyball complex. No new taxes are created, and existing tax rates do not increase.
Big Economic Impact
In 2025, the annual economic impact of sports tourism in the U.S. was estimated at $274.5 billion. A vote FOR Nebraska Volleyball will position Lincoln at the center of that tourism impact.
No Taxpayer liability
The nonprofit N4VB will earn operational income from tournament fees, court space rentals and traditional private fundraising. Tax dollars will NOT maintain or operate the volleyball complex.
Why is it on the ballot if there’s no tax increase?
The $17 million N4VB facility is eligible to finance around 75% of construction costs with funding from Nebraska’s “turnback tax” program. This program, specifically available for new privately owned sports complex construction projects at voter discretion, would allocate a portion of existing state sales taxes generated by economic activity spurred by and around the future N4VB complex.
Out of 11 projects considered, the N4VB volleyball complex is one of just TWO approved to use Nebraska’s sports-specific turnback tax in 2026.
Why it Matters
Volleyball is Who We Are.
The next generation of volleyball champions is already right here.
Our locally generated sales tax revenue should be too.
Vote FOR N4VB to give our city the home-court advantage we’ve earned.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this raise taxes?
No. This measure does not create any new taxes, nor does it raise your local property or sales taxes. Funding comes entirely from redirecting existing state sales tax dollars generated by new economic activity around the facility back to Lincoln, with zero risk or financial obligation to local taxpayers.
Where is it being built?
The facility will be located at 30th Street and Folkways Boulevard in Lincoln.
Who can use the courts?
The goal is to ensure broad access. While club teams will lease space to support operational revenue, N4VB will reserve time and resources specifically for public clinics, camps and outreach programs that are low- or no-cost for area youth.
What if the project falls short of funding?
N4VB will raise the remaining funds privately. No risk to taxpayers.
What does N4VB stand for?
Nebraska for Volleyball. We’re a community-driven nonprofit on a mission to expand access to volleyball for every kid in Nebraska.
