show moreWe're starting off with some exciting news from the tech sector. Omaha's tech scene is booming, with high demand for roles in software development, data science, cloud engineering, AI, and cybersecurity. Major companies like Mutual of Omaha, Union Pacific, and Toast are driving this 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[2][5].
In other news, the City Council in Crete, Nebraska, recently held a meeting where they approved several important measures, including a maintenance agreement with the Nebraska Department of Transportation and special conditions documents for local projects. They also discussed the potential sale of downtown city buildings and the use of funds from the LB840 program[3].
Moving on to real estate, we don't have any major updates today, but we'll keep an eye on any significant developments in the coming days.
From City Hall, we have updates on the City View project and discussions on landlord and tenant bills. The City Council is also set to vote on canceling a downtown bar's liquor license again[1].
Weather-wise, it's a chilly Saturday morning, but we're expecting a relatively calm day. Make sure to check the latest forecast before heading out.
In new business activity, we have a fun event happening today - the Return of R&B Lip Sync Sing Along at a local venue. It's a great way to spend your Saturday, so be sure to check it out[4].
Looking ahead to community events, the Crete Public Library has several activities planned, including Lego Day today and Puppy Palooza on March 22nd. The library also received $800 from the Nebraska Library Commission for box books and is participating in the 100 book Reading Challenge[3].
In local school achievements, we don't have any specific updates today, but we'll highlight any notable achievements in the coming days.
For our feel-good community story, we want to mention the Blue River Arts Council, which has a governing board with a city representative seat that still needs to be filled. It's a great opportunity for someone to get involved in the local arts scene[3].
Finally, in our crime report, we don't have any significant incidents to report from the past 24 hours. We'll continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary.
This has been Omaha Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
