Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for January 17, 2025. We're starting off with some breaking news from the tech sector. Omaha's tech scene is thriving, 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[2][5].

In job market news, we're seeing a surge in hiring announcements, particularly in cloud security and AI. 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, making Omaha an attractive hub for tech professionals[2][5].

Moving on to real estate, 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 potential sales of city buildings, which could impact local real estate[3].

From City Hall, we have updates on recent decisions that affect daily life. 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, an Arctic blast is expected to bring dangerously cold temperatures to the U.S., including our area. We're advising everyone to stay warm and safe today[4].

In new business activity, we're seeing a lot of excitement around local startups and expansions. Companies like Buildertrend and Hudl have grown significantly, creating hundreds of jobs in the tech sector[2][5].

Looking ahead to community events, we have Lego Day coming up on January 18th at the Crete Public Library, and Puppy Palooza on March 22nd. We're also celebrating the 100 Book Reading Challenge, which kicked off on January 1st[3].

In local school achievements, we're proud to mention the University of Nebraska at Omaha's cybersecurity program, which is ranked as the top public university program nationwide[2][5].

Finally, in today's crime report, we don't have any significant incidents to report from the past 24 hours. We're always working to keep our community safe and informed.

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