Turning to the weather, we’re waking up to cooler temps than average for late June, with a high near 81 this afternoon. Skies are mostly sunny, but we might see some clouds drift in by the evening. Outdoor events should go off without a hitch, so it’s a great day to get outside or visit your favorite local park.
Speaking of parks, Dolman Park in South Omaha is getting some exciting improvements. The city council just approved $255,000 for new playground equipment, a half basketball court, and an updated sand volleyball court, all following input from the neighborhood and local festivals. Projects like these help us build spaces where everyone can come together and enjoy the summer.
Real estate activity remains steady, but rising water system costs are a growing topic. Omaha faces nearly a billion dollars in needed water infrastructure investments, a reminder of how crucial these basic services are to our lives and to future growth.
On the jobs front, summer hiring is underway with several local businesses in the Old Market and Blackstone districts advertising openings for seasonal and full-time roles. If you’re searching, now is a good time to check with mainstay shops and new restaurants popping up downtown.
In the crime report, there’s ongoing fallout from the recent ICE raid at Glenn Valley Foods. Federal charges have been filed against several individuals accused of impeding law enforcement and damaging government property. One former employee faces felony counts linked to the incident. Public safety officials remind us to stay alert and report suspicious activity, especially around large events.
June brings a lively cultural calendar. The College World Series is drawing crowds to downtown, while live theater is back with the Grand Island Little Theater running the musical Disaster all weekend. Don’t miss family-friendly events like Stars, Strolls, and S’mores, fostering fun and learning under the Nebraska sky.
For our schools, shout out to graduates from local high schools and congrats to Katie Campbell from UNL, named Meritorious Graduate Student in natural resource sciences, showing that the Omaha area continues to cultivate top talent.
For today’s feel-good story, we spotlight community volunteers who made sure Dolman Park’s new upgrades included local history and space for neighbors of all ages, blending tradition with new beginnings.
This has been Omaha Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
