Setting the Pace
We are proud to introduce the 2008 issue of OMAHA: Extraordinary Opportunities. This year’s publication looks at Omaha through the eyes of people who have found success here. And we have plenty of those stories to share!
Omaha and the eight counties that make up the Omaha metropolitan statistical area are generating the kind of excitement and opportunities that are attracting interest from around the nation and the world. The city continues to build upon more than a decade of momentum, growth and success.
Metropolitan Omaha is welcoming new generations of immigrants and entrepreneurs who share their ancestors’ spirit of discovery. New businesses and attractions are rising from the revitalized Missouri riverfront west to the horizon. Economic momentum is enriching our neighborhoods and smaller business districts citywide as well as the surrounding counties. Development projects are targeting specific areas and are receiving community-wide support.
Word is getting around. People of every age and lifestyle are being drawn by the promise of educational opportunities, good-paying jobs, an affordable cost of living and a high quality of life.
The city’s strong visual and performing arts communities continue to nurture world-class talents. Our affinity for amateur and professional sports is being underscored by the plans to build a state-of-the-art baseball stadium downtown, within a few steps of Qwest Center Omaha arena and convention center and the astounding Holland Performing Arts Center.
The new ballpark will become home plate for the NCAA Men’s College World Series for the next 25 years, signifying Omaha’s more than 50-year history hosting the series – and our commitment to the future.
We invite you to give metro Omaha a good close look. You’ll find the view is breathtaking!
