League of Nebraska Municipalities

Huge news — Greater Omaha has passed the 1 million population mark! Read Heath Mello’s statement on this major milestone below: "The Greater Omaha metro area exceeding 1?million?in population is great news and certainly puts us on another echelon. A population of this size strengthens our economic base and enhances our standing in national and global markets. In addition, it opens new doors for attracting highly educated professionals, young families, and skilled workers, especially in targeted industry sectors. We know that people are power and the more people Omaha has, the better we are able to compete.” https://lnkd.in/g7hv8Ftd

Keep up the good work, Columbus and Tara Vasicek!

Next week is the week! The League office will be moving to make way for the construction of our new office space. For the next year (or until construction is complete) you will be able to find League staff on the 8th Floor of the Sharp Building (206 S. 13th Street)--only a few blocks from our current spot. We are moving on April 15 and 16. Staff will still be available, but as we transfer services to the new location, there could be a slight delay in our response--but don't worry, we are still ready to help! See you at our new location!!
