Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Sunday, January 19, 2025. We're starting off with some breaking news that's been making waves in our city. A federal TikTok ban has been looming, and for some users, it means having to rethink how they reach customers. Local small businesses are fearing the impact a ban will have on the economy. Cahner Olson, a small business owner, expressed her concerns, stating that a ban could wipe out revenue and have ripple effects for years to come[1].

Moving on to today's job market snapshot, Omaha's tech scene is thriving. Major companies like Mutual of Omaha, Union Pacific, and Toast are driving growth, creating countless opportunities for tech professionals. The average tech salary in Omaha is around $81,000, with Cloud Engineers and Network Architects commanding impressive salaries of $112,000 and $160,778 respectively. The Nebraska Tech Collaborative is pushing hard to add 300 tech companies and 10,000 tech jobs by 2025[5].

In real estate news, we don't have any major updates today, but we're keeping an eye on developments in the downtown area. The Crete City Council recently discussed the potential sale of downtown city buildings, which could impact local businesses and residents[3].

From city hall, we have some updates on recent decisions. The Crete City Council approved several ordinances and agreements, including a maintenance agreement with the Nebraska Department of Transportation and special conditions documents for local projects[3].

Weather-wise, it's a chilly morning in Omaha, but we're expecting a sunny day ahead. Make sure to bundle up if you're planning on attending any outdoor events today.

In new business activity, we're seeing a lot of excitement around local startups. However, the potential TikTok ban is causing concern among small business owners who rely on the app for marketing and outreach[1].

Looking ahead to the next few days, we have some community events to highlight. The Crete Public Library is hosting Lego Day today from 10 am to 12 pm, and Puppy Palooza is scheduled for March 22nd[3].

In local school achievements, we're proud to see our students excelling in various fields. We'll have more updates on this in the coming days.

For today's crime report, we don't have any significant incidents to report. However, we do want to remind everyone to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.

Finally, we have a feel-good community story to share. The Crete Public Library received $800 from the Nebraska Library Commission for box books, and they're hosting various events to promote literacy and community engagement[3].

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