Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for January 18, 2025. We're starting off the day with some breaking news from the entertainment scene. If you're a fan of R&B, you won't want to miss the R&B Lip Sync Sing Along happening today in Omaha. It's a fun event that promises to bring the community together with music and dance[1].

Moving on to the job market, Omaha is booming with opportunities. Recent updates show a high demand for roles in healthcare, including registered nurses and psychiatric technicians, as well as corporate positions such as data entry specialists and account executives at top companies like Hearst Television. Public safety roles and positions in education and hospitality are also on the rise. If you're looking to relocate or invest in the Omaha area, now is a great time to explore these opportunities[2].

In tech, Omaha is positioning itself as a powerhouse with major growth driven by companies like Google and Facebook. Key roles in demand include Cloud Engineers, Network Architects, and cybersecurity positions. The Nebraska Tech Collaborative is working to add 300 tech companies and 10,000 tech jobs by 2025, making Omaha an attractive hub for tech professionals[4].

On the real estate front, there are notable developments in the Crete area. The Crete Housing Community Development Corporation is submitting an application for a 3 to 1 match workforce housing grant, which could bring significant investment to the area. Additionally, the downtown City buildings in Crete may have sold, with the funds going back into the LB840 fund[3].

From City Hall, the Crete City Council recently approved several important measures, including a maintenance agreement with the Nebraska Department of Transportation and special conditions documents for various projects. They also enacted ordinances amending telecommunications occupation tax and new deposit rates[3].

Looking at the weather, today is expected to be a great day for outdoor activities. If you're planning to attend the Lego Day event at the Crete Public Library from 10 am to 12 pm, you should enjoy pleasant conditions.

In new business activity, there are no major openings or closings to report today. However, we do have some upcoming community events to look forward to. The Puppy Palooza is scheduled for March 22nd, 2025, at 10 am, which promises to be a fun event for pet lovers.

In local school achievements, the Crete Public Library has received $800 from the Nebraska Library Commission for box books and has started the 100 book Reading Challenge. Additionally, the Youth Services Librarian Maridza Vasquez will be attending a conference in Arizona.

For today's crime report, there are no significant incidents or public safety alerts to report from the past 24 hours.

Finally, a feel-good community story: the Crete Public Library's Breakfast with Santa event was a huge success, with 550 people attending, and the Polar Express movie collaboration with the Isis Theatre was enjoyed by 116 people.

This has been Omaha Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
