  • Omaha Update: Civic Project Underway, Tech Boom Continues, Housing Demand Steady
    2025/04/10
    Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Thursday, April 10, 2025. Here's what's happening in our community today.

    We start with breaking news downtown, where movement is finally happening at the long-delayed Civic Square project. City officials confirm early infrastructure work is underway, though there's no set date for completion. The project is set to bring a park, retail space, and affordable housing to Central Omaha, aiming to rejuvenate the area near 16th and Dodge. Patience is the word from City Hall as crews tackle the preliminary stages.

    On the jobs front, Omaha’s tech scene continues to thrive. Named one of North America’s top emerging tech markets, we've seen a tech workforce of over 23,000 professionals earning an average salary of $101,000. Top players like Google and Meta are driving opportunities, particularly in AI and cybersecurity, which are projected to grow by 18% in the coming years. If you're in tech—or aspiring to be—opportunities abound.

    Over to the real estate market, housing demand in Omaha remains stable, though population growth has slowed slightly. With affordability still a draw for new residents, the median home price in the metro area hovers just under $300,000. Meanwhile, high-end developments in West Omaha and Papillion continue to expand.

    The weather today brings sunshine with highs in the mid-60s, perfect for outdoor activities. Expect a light breeze, so keep a jacket handy if you're heading to events like the Farmers Market on 11th and Jackson this afternoon. Looking ahead, the weekend might bring rain, so plan now for any outdoor plans.

    In local sports, congratulations to Omaha Central’s boys’ soccer team for their thrilling 3-2 win last night over Millard West. The victory keeps the Eagles undefeated this season. Meanwhile, the Storm Chasers are back in town, taking on the Indianapolis Indians tonight at Werner Park—first pitch is at 6:35 p.m.

    In community news, neighbors in Ralston are demanding action after multiple car crashes have damaged yards near 72nd and Main. Residents are asking city leaders for traffic-calming measures, including stop signs and speed bumps. City engineers say they’re reviewing options.

    Turning to business, a new bakery, Sweet Haven, opens today in Dundee near 50th and Underwood. Known for its croissants and sourdough breads, it promises to be a tasty addition to the neighborhood. Stop by for their grand opening specials running through the weekend.

    Crime-wise, Omaha police are investigating an uptick in car thefts in the Benson area. Thieves are targeting unlocked vehicles, so make sure to secure your car and avoid leaving valuables inside. In good news, police made an arrest in connection to last month’s downtown arson incident, bringing some closure to affected business owners.

    Looking ahead, tomorrow marks the kickoff of Omaha’s Spring Art Festival at Turner Park in Midtown Crossing. It features live music, local artists, and food trucks all weekend long. For families, the Omaha Children’s Museum is hosting a hands-on science day this Saturday, sure to be a hit with kids.

    Finally, here’s a feel-good story to brighten your day. Jasmine Ross, a seven-year-old from North Omaha, spent her spring break helping her grandma plant flowers in their community garden. Her love for gardening and animals is inspiring many in her neighborhood to get involved in beautifying their block.

    This has been Omaha Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Stay safe and have a great day!

    2025/04/04
    Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Friday, April 4, 2025.

    We begin with breaking news from City Hall where Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert is addressing community concerns at today’s State of the City forum. Residents have submitted questions ranging from road repairs to public safety in neighborhoods like Benson and Dundee. The Mayor is expected to provide updates on ongoing projects and her vision for 2025. We'll keep you posted on developments.

    It’s a brisk spring day in Omaha, with temperatures starting in the upper 40s and climbing to a high of 61 degrees. Expect partly cloudy skies throughout the day and a light breeze, perfect for enjoying outdoor plans or a quick walk through Elmwood Park. The weekend looks promising, with sunny skies and highs in the mid-60s.

    In business news, Omaha remains a hot spot for tech talent. The city has been ranked seventh among top emerging tech markets in North America, thanks to significant investments by companies like Union Pacific and WoodmenLife. Tech salaries here average over $100,000 annually, making it an attractive hub for both fresh graduates and experienced professionals. Meanwhile, Mutual of Omaha’s new downtown skyscraper project is progressing, signaling continued growth in the city’s skyline.

    Exciting news for job seekers: Omaha’s job market is strong, with multiple employers hiring across sectors. However, a recent report indicates a rise in residents holding multiple jobs to make ends meet. It’s a trend worth watching as we explore how wage growth matches cost-of-living increases.

    In local sports, congratulations to Papillion-La Vista South High School for their first-ever Class A boys basketball state championship, and to Omaha Skutt Catholic for securing a three-peat in Class B basketball. The energy from these tournaments is still palpable across the metro.

    Switching gears to entertainment, tonight the Omaha Symphony is performing at the Holland Performing Arts Center, featuring a special program centered on the music of John Williams. Also, Omaha's Benson neighborhood will host First Friday events this evening, with galleries and cafes showcasing local artists and live music.

    Looking ahead, mark your calendars for the USA Triathlon Multisport National Championships coming to Lake Cunningham this June. With scenic courses and national titles on the line, it’s an event Omaha athletes and sports fans won’t want to miss.

    In crime news, Omaha police are investigating two overnight burglaries in the Old Market, including one at a popular boutique near 11th and Howard Streets. Authorities are urging businesses to review security footage and report any suspicious activity. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

    On a brighter note, a feel-good story from Bellevue: A group of high school students organized a career fair that brought together over 500 students and local businesses, inspiring the next generation of Omaha’s workforce. Events like these underscore the vibrancy and initiative in our community.

    That’s all for today. This has been Omaha Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Omaha Development Debate, Primary Races Tighten, Cybersecurity Booming, Heartland Pride Seeks Sponsors
    2025/04/03
    Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Thursday, April 3, 2025.

    We start with breaking news from the Omaha Planning Board’s meeting last night, where a proposed development in Waterloo sparked heated debate among residents. Some neighbors voiced concerns over potential traffic congestion and disruption to the community. The board is expected to revisit the plans later this month, but for now, the discussions continue. We’ll keep you updated as this story develops.

    In election news, preliminary results from Omaha’s city primary indicate strong voter turnout across the metro. Key races, including the mayoral and city council contests, are shaping up to be close. The top candidates have already begun ramping up their campaigns for the general election, which is just weeks away.

    On a lighter note, last night Bob Dylan brought his timeless tunes to the Orpheum Theatre, captivating a sold-out crowd. Fans were treated to a rare performance of “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight,” among other hits. It was a magical evening celebrating a true legend. For music lovers, this weekend offers more excitement as the Omaha Symphony takes the stage at the Holland Performing Arts Center with a program featuring works by Beethoven and Tchaikovsky.

    Turning to the job market, Omaha is making waves as a growing hub for cybersecurity. With over 150 tech companies in the area, opportunities in AI, cloud security, and threat detection are booming. Salaries for experienced professionals are reaching six figures, and local initiatives like the University of Nebraska's cybersecurity program are helping to develop the next generation of talent. If you're looking for a tech career, now is the time to jump in.

    In real estate, the market remains steady. The average home price in Omaha is holding at just over $290,000, with strong demand in neighborhoods like Dundee and West Omaha. However, new listings are slightly down compared to this time last year, so buyers may need to act quickly.

    Today’s weather is bringing sun and warmer temperatures, with highs reaching the mid-60s. It’s a perfect day to get outside, whether it’s a stroll in Heartland of America Park or a bike ride on the Keystone Trail. Looking ahead, we’re in for a cooler weekend with a chance of showers on Saturday, so enjoy the sunshine while it lasts.

    In community news, the annual Heartland Pride organization is seeking sponsors for this year’s events, highlighting the importance of local support to keep these celebrations vibrant. Also, Glenwood students have organized a career fair attracting hundreds of peers from area schools, a great example of youth engagement in workforce development.

    Shifting to sports, Creighton’s baseball team secured another win last night, defeating Kansas State 5-3. Their solid performance keeps them near the top of the Big East standings. On the high school scene, Omaha Westside’s track team shined at yesterday’s invitational, bringing home multiple first-place finishes.

    On the crime front, Omaha police are investigating a string of vehicle break-ins reported near Old Market overnight. Authorities remind everyone to lock their vehicles and avoid leaving valuables inside. In another update, a suspect connected to last month’s string of burglaries in South Omaha has been apprehended. Police credit community tips with helping close the case.

    Finally, let’s end with a feel-good story. Volunteers at the Lauritzen Gardens have been hard at work prepping for their Spring Into Bloom event this weekend. The gardens are bursting with color, and it’s a beautiful way to celebrate the season and support one of Omaha’s gems.

    This has been Omaha Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Stay safe and enjoy your day!
