2023: Choice Wins

Dear Readers,

Welcome 2023 … almost. We are honored to have Veta Jeffery on the cover of our December 30th issue … the last issue of 2022. There have been so many great things happening in our community over the past 12 months. I hope you enjoy this “2022 Year in Review” issue.

As an entrepreneur, publisher and CEO I love the New Year. New beginnings, new adventures, new possibilities, new choices. A blank canvas to perhaps choose something different and create another masterpiece along our journey with our businesses.

As I look back over the past 30-years-plus of being in the publishing/media business, where I am today is—of course— due to the CHOICES I have made along the way. Some of the them created more ease and joy in my life and business and some of them certainly did not.

We are all a work-in-progress and are constantly evolving. There are hundreds, thousands, even millions of choices we can make over any given period of time.

We all are constantly making CHOICES. Every moment, in every day, there are new choices to make: what we wear, what we eat, what we do, who we do it with, where and how we work, how we nurture our bodies…and how we don’t. With each of these we’re choosing a new form of happiness and joy or some form of sadness and struggle.

What I love about CHOICE is that you always have a CHOICE. If we choose something and it doesn’t work out or we change our mind, we can choose again. When I hear myself saying … “I have no choice” … that is a CHOICE.

So ask yourself, “If I choose this (____________) what will my life be like in a year, five years, ten years? (Or simply look ahead to what your next CHOICE may bring in the next five minutes or hours!) Will this choice create more in my life or less?” Only you can answer that question. In my case, life continues to unfold as I continuously and diligently ask myself such questions.

What are we choosing in 2023? And remember, if it isn’t working out or feeling light … we can choose again! The CHOICE is always ours to make!

What else is possible?

THROUGH A different lens

VETA JEFFERY THRIVING AS GREATER OMAHA CHAMBER PRESIDENT

It’s been a little over half a year since Veta Jeffery joined the Greater Omaha Chamber as president and CEO, succeeding David Brown upon his retirement from the position after nearly 20 years. These past seven months have been as interesting as they have been busy, Jeffery said.

“I have had a wonderful experience. Running a chamber is a big job, but it’s a job that encompasses so many fascinating parts,” she said. “I tell people I get to drink from a firehose in a way that some days is turned on full force, and some days is a slow trickle. The great thing is, I love everything about what I get to do.”

The St. Louis native came to the Chamber with ample experience including serving by Governor Jay Nixon’s appointment as manager of community economic development for the State of Missouri. Jeffery’s accomplishments included helping to establish workforce development programs for underserved communities, helping to form the Governor’s Fellows Program that provides internships for disadvantaged college students in Missouri, organizing a workforce summer program for youths, and developing programming and events for businesses to

grow capacity and increase diversity through training and hiring initiatives.

As a native Midwesterner, Jeffery’s adjustment to life in Omaha has been smooth so far, she said.

“From the research I did during my interview, I was able to learn a lot about the wonderful things happening in and around Omaha. What you can’t read in stories or [when] talking about development projects is capturing the essence of the people. And I think the biggest thing that I’ve noticed in the time since I’ve been here is that the people really are a great part of the story,” she said.

“I have been welcomed on so many levels. And I’ve had a lot of great, thoughtful conversations around the work that’s been done, and the hope of what Omaha looks like tomorrow. That’s exciting. But I’m just really, really encouraged by the people that I’ve had a chance to meet and the conversations we get to have; whether they’re thoughtprovoking or whether we’re having great laughs, I just think Omaha is great people.”

Jeffery also praised Omaha’s public-private partnerships and

OMAHA

the philanthropic community as well as development taking place throughout the city.

“I think that part of our assets are the tangible pieces in the development of the urban core, the work that’s being done on the riverfront, the Luminarium, the Gene Leahy Mall, the Steelhouse — I feel like I could go on and on. The zoo, which is a beautiful attraction, and just having an opportunity to feed the giraffes and see all that the aquarium offers. I just think Omaha has so many wonderful assets. And I get to learn even more every day; the more I’m experiencing people, the more I’m finding out that there is a great community and great culture here.”

Omaha isn’t without its challenges, Jeffery said, but she strives to keep them in perspective.

“I hear a lot of talk about ‘brain drain.’ But I just want to make us aware that all communities experience ‘brain drain,’ the flight of young professionals wanting to go, spread their wings, and experience the unknown … those who leave here to go find the bigger, brighter, more fun, more entertaining, ‘whatever’ other cities seem to offer,” she said, adding that the community’s focus should be on attracting those young people back after they’ve had their experience away from their hometown.

“The other thing is, just like Omaha is concerned that the young professionals here go to look to other cities, there are other cities experiencing that same thing. So, if we can focus also on making sure that when those other young professionals are looking for places to go, that our messaging is one that says they’re welcome here — that our messaging says this is a great place to live, a great place to work, great place to live and to do business — then it won’t be as much of a concern, because that revolving door tends to fill itself up.”

As the first woman and first person of color to lead the Chamber, Jeffery certainly brings a new point of view to the position of president and CEO. She also has a different leadership style than her predecessor.

“I think that David and I bring two different perspectives to the conversation; we probably can look at the same situation and approach it differently,” Jeffery said.

Jeffery also has unique and powerful career experience. For instance, she was credited for helping rebuild the business community

in and around Ferguson, Missouri, and throughout the St. Louis region as the state’s manager of community economic development. Governor Jay Nixon formed the Office of Community Engagement following the Ferguson protests of 2014. The unrest had occurred in response to the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, a Black 18-year-old, by police officer Darren Wilson.

“I’ve had some wonderful opportunities to lead in my career and I feel like that has prepared me for the work that I get to do here in Omaha. I feel like my experiences serving at the behest of the Missouri governor behind Ferguson helped me look through life with the word ‘perspective,’ because one of the things that we had to do to come out of the unrest — that put St. Louis on the map in a way it never wanted to be — was because for most of the people involved, at first it came with a myopic view of understanding only their view of how things look or how things happen,” she said.

“But then, in the position to engage in conversations, to recognize that all of us have different upbringings, all of us have different needs. All of us have had different exposures and experiences, whether it’s different foods, different habits that we form, different ways that our parents raised us or instilled values on us. All of us bring different perspectives to the table.”

“But once we get together and start having conversations about that, we find that we are more alike than we are different. So, I think one of the greatest things that I like to think I bring — in addition to being skilled in economic development and financial management and business development, having been a business owner, and then having held office — is perspective and the opportunity for us to engage in looking at life through a different lens.”

And now she’s poised to look ahead, Jeffery said.

“I’ve been able to do a lot of listening, a lot of learning, which will go a long way in helping to shape the direction that the Chamber will take in 2023,” she said. “In meeting with the leaders in the community, I see our focus definitely has to be on making certain we think outside the box and have an intentional drive on attracting and retaining talent. I think making certain that our messaging is clear that Nebraska really is a place for everyone, and that Omaha is open for everyone, is something that we as business owners and business leaders have to do.”

I’ve been able to do a lot of listening, a lot of learning, which will go a long way in helping to shape the direction that the Chamber will take in 2023.

CEO, GREATER

2022 YEAR IN REVIEW! 50 PEOPLE, PLACES & EVENTS TO REMEMBER

THE MIDLANDS BUSINESS JOURNAL IS LOOKING BACK ON THE YEAR AT THE PEOPLE, PLACES AND EVENTS THAT MADE AN IMPACT ON THE GREATER OMAHA METRO, COUNCIL BLUFFS AND LINCOLN AREA IN 2022.

EDITOR’S NOTE:

This year was an exciting year for new facilities, programs and initiatives in the Midlands. Unemployment fell and many projects were announced. According to the Greater Omaha Chamber, Omaha’s construction industry saw an increase of 8.1% in October 2022 compared to 2021, Lincoln was named #1 on the Best Cities for Young Professionals list by Insurify and Council Bluffs launched numerous philanthropic and community resources. When sifting through announcements throughout the year, MBJ editors took careful consideration in selecting 50 news items. We hope readers enjoy this walk-through of some of the biggest highlights.

JANUARY

1. SCOULAR CELEBRATES 130 YEARS WITH NEW HEADQUARTERS

Scoular kicked off its 130th year in agribusiness in its new global headquarters, setting the company up for an eventful year.

“Scoular was founded in 1892 as a small grain company. In 1967, our modern-day founder, Marshall Faith, purchased Scoular and reimagined its potential,” said Scoular CEO Paul Maas.

“His transformative spirit, compassion and integrity set the tone at Scoular for growth, innovation and community giving, and this vision is carried out today through the leadership of Chairman of the Board David Faith. As a result, our 1,400 employees continue to define what’s possible in agribusiness supply chains for our customers and partners around the world.”

Over the course of 2022 the company moved into the top 50 of the Forbes’

2022 list of America’s largest private companies, moving from number 68 to number 48, with a revenue of $9.71 billion. It joins the ranks of two other Nebraska-based companies, Kiewit and Tenaska.

It also broke ground on the $75 million expansion of Petsource, a freezedried pet food ingredient manufacturing facility in Seward, Nebraska. The expansion will reportedly triple the facility’s production capacity and add 80 jobs when it’s completed in 2023.

Throughout the year Scoular continued to give back to the community. Notably it was named one of United Way of the Midlands’ Corporate Partners for 2022. United Way of the Midlands noted that Scoular, who has been a partner for 30 years, raised $190,000 this year for United Way of the Midlands.

2. AILEEN WARREN TAKES OVER AT ICAN AFTER SUSAN HENRICKS RETIRES

Susan Henricks retired and Aileen Warren stepped into the role of president and CEO on January 24.

Warren has been involved with ICAN since 1996 and has served two six-year terms on its board of directors, completing the second term in 2021, and as a member of its executive committee. She also served as co-chair of the 2010 ICAN Women’s Leadership Conference and has been a speaker at past events.

Warren said that her first year at the helm of the leadership development nonprofit has felt fulfilling as it has allowed her to “focus on my passion for leadership development.”

“As I look back on 2022, I am proud of the new and existing companies we were able to serve; the experiences we hosted for inspiring leadership development, learning and connection; the partners that invest in our authentic leadership mission; and the growth in our ICAN Scholarship Fund to expand the reach and access of our programs to deserving leaders in our community and beyond,” she said.

After years of discussion and research by various agencies, the city announced plans to move forward with its first modern streetcar line. The streetcar will reportedly cover three miles, ferrying passengers from downtown Omaha to Blackstone via Farnam and Harney Streets.

There will be a loop that runs in front of the CHI Health Center on 10th and Cass streets. From there it will head south, following Capital Ave to 8th Street before meeting up with Farnam Street. The route will run up Farnam Street from 10th to 42nd streets, and will return on Harney Street.

Similar to Kansas City, Missouri’s KC Streetcar, which runs through its downtown district, Omaha’s streetcar will be free to ride.

An Omaha Streetcar Authority (OSA) update on December 7 reported that “the city plans to use revenue generated by Tax Increment Financing (TIF) from development within a roughly six-block distance along the streetcar route to pay the bond debt.” The project is estimated to cost $306 million and be completed by 2026.

As of December 2022, the OSA is working on a plan to procure the streetcars as it can take anywhere between two-to-three years to receive them. The City of Portland, Oregon has proposed a joint procurement. Portland is looking to purchase 11 vehicles for its streetcar system, while Omaha is looking to purchase six, which could reduce costs. Interim OSA Executive Director Rick Gustafson was quoted in a December 13 update saying that there is a possibility of two other cities joining the joint procurement deal. OSA is expected to make a decision in early 2023.

After a nationwide search, the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce announced Ball’s appointment in December 2021. Ball, who previously worked as director of business development at the Lincoln Chamber from 2008 to 2012, also held the president & CEO role at the Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce, Sioux Falls Area Chamber of Commerce and Round Rock Chamber. Of note, in 2022 Ball led the chamber in developing an economic vitality strategy and efforts to pass LB1014, which designated $20 million in federal funds

Prior to joining ICAN, Warren was associate vice chancellor and executive director of human resources for the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

Her volunteer work includes acting as president of the Women’s Fund of Omaha, executive board committee member for Omaha Home for Boys, president of the Omaha Downtown Rotary, and member of the Urban League of Nebraska Guild.

5. TIMOTHY MITTAN NAMED NEW DIRECTOR OF SBA NEBRASKA

The U.S. Small Business Administration announced Timothy R. Mittan as its new district director for the Nebraska District SBA office. He assumed the role on Jan. 3. Mittan, a Nebraska native, came to the post with credentials including being a former economics and entrepreneurship instructor with Southeast Community College,

and was the original founder and director of the SCC Entrepreneurship Center and Focus Suites.

6. MUTUAL OF OMAHA HEADQUARTERS ANNOUNCED

After years of speculation, Mutual of Omaha announced its plans to move the company headquarters. The final destination? Downtown Omaha. Specifically, on the site of the former W. Dale Clark Main Library on 14th Street between Farnam and Dodge streets.

“The downtown site is a strong strategic fit and supports our goal to attract and retain talent and continue to enhance our culture of collaboration and innovation,” said Jim Nolan, spokesman for Mutual of Omaha.

“From the Riverfront redevelopment to the streetcar plans, the vision for downtown Omaha is inspiring. We have a rare opportunity to be part of that vision. The addition of Mutual of Omaha’s headquarters will significantly add to the energy and vitality of our urban core, while also providing our associates with a modern, dynamic and engaging work environment.”

The new headquarters, which will include 44 floors and will stand at 677 feet tall, will become the state’s tallest building, moving First National Bank to a close second.

Plans for a 2,200 vehicle parking garage for employees will also double as community parking after business hours. A multilevel sky lobby will connect the two structures and will offer dining options, a fitness center, employee wellness services as well as landscaped outdoor terraces.

The City of Omaha Planning Board approved Mutual of Omaha’s TIF (Tax Increment Financing) application, which amounts to $68.6 million. The project was estimated to cost $433 million, and Omahabased Lanoha Real Estate Co. is developing the site. Other local companies collaborating on the project include Alvine Engineering and JE Dunn Construction.

7. COLLEGE OF SAINT MARY SET FOR NEW LEADERSHIP

Dr. Maryanne Stevens, who announced she will retire after 27 years as College of Saint Mary president, will be stepping down from her post after the May 2023 commencement. Stevens leaves a legacy of numerous innovative programs including a residence hall for college-age single mothers and Marie Curie scholarships for lowincome women majoring in math or science. Additionally, she has led several capital campaigns and has focused on the affordability of tuition through scholarships by rolling student fees into tuition and reducing undergraduate tuition by 33%.

Moving into the president role July 1, Dr. Glynis Fitzgerald has more than 25 years of experience in public and private universities. Previously, Fitzgerald was senior vice president and provost for Alvernia University in Reading, Pennsylvania, and vice president of academic affairs and dean for the school of graduate studies at Central Connecticut State University.

8. CB TECH CAREER ACCELERATION PROGRAM ANNOUNCED

The February 24th announcement for the CB Tech Career Acceleration Program was proof that when organizations work together great things can happen. The program, which is a partnership between the Council Bluffs Area Chamber of Commerce, Centro Latino of Iowa, Iowa Western Community College, and the AIM Institute, received a $50,000 grant from Google to get started.

The two-part program is designed to help underemployed citizens, specifically those in the Latino population.

“Latinos make up the second-largest population in Pottawattamie County,” said Council Bluffs Chamber of Commerce Workforce Development Director Alicia Frieze.

“It’s important to the CB Chamber that we are providing equitable opportunities for all of our residents.”

In addition to 100 hours of coding classes, participants also have access to ESL (English as a Second Language) classes, resume

preparation, a LinkedIn workshop, and their very own Google ChromeBook.

The goal is to help participants enter into what Itzel Lopez, AIM vice president of advancement and community relations, defines as H3 (high skill, high demand, high pay) jobs in tech.

“These employment opportunities can change the trajectory of an individual’s life and our vision of building a thriving community where anyone can pursue a rewarding tech career,” she said.

Frieze said that the CB Chamber also has business members that have agreed to interview graduates, should graduates complete the course and need assistance obtaining a job.

The first cohort started with six participants, and the applications for the second cohort are open at https://www.councilbluffsiowa.com/ cb-career-acceleration.

9. URBAN CORE STRATEGIC PLAN ANNOUNCED

The Plan noted that while the focus is on revitalizing the core, it also intends “to connect and extend the investments in

housing and amenities into neighborhoods immediately adjacent to the core.”

The study boundaries are as follows: River’s Edge and Dodge Park Golf Course on the east, 48th Street on the west, Cuming Street on the north and Leavenworth Street on the south.

A set of guiding principles was decided on to help determine what the areas of focus would be. The Urban Core Master Plan selected the following adjectives to describe the ideal outcome: uniquely urban, diverse, equitable, inclusive, sustainable, vibrant/active, safe, affordable, and attractive.

With those goals in mind, the committee selected four areas to focus on: anchor projects – such as the Mutual of Omaha headquarters; a modern streetcar to enhance mobility; the redevelopment of Dodge Park; and creating a LID over I-480 that would replace three major bridges that are nearing the end of their lifespan.

Moving into 2023, Urban Core Committee chairperson and OPPD president and CEO, Javier Fernandez, said two subcommittees will focus on housing and marketing the core.

“The subcommittees are conducting research and gathering data to help inform our next steps as we continue our work into 2023 and beyond,” he said. “We are excited to continue to partner with the city and business community to reach our ambitious 20-year goals.”

The Strategic Plan is available online at omahachanber.org/urban-core.

10. DAVID BROWN RETIRES, VETA JEFFERY TAKES OVER AT GREATER OMAHA CHAMBER

After 19 years leading the Greater Omaha Chamber, David Brown announced he would retire from the position of president and CEO in May of 2022. Despite his “retired” status, Brown has kept busy. He joined NEXT Generation Consulting as lead consultant the same month he retired and in July 2022 the University of Nebraska at Omaha announced that he would be joining the organization as executive in residence. According to the UNO announcement, Brown will “provide expertise and strategy for the university’s workforce development initiatives.” Brown has spent his entire career in economic development starting in 1985 as VP of economic development at the Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce.

His desire to better the community is something he has in common with Veta Jeffery who took over as president and CEO of the Greater Omaha Chamber upon Brown’s retirement. Prior to her appointment, Jeffery was the chief diversity officer for St. Louis County Government, and before that, senior vice president of community and economic development at Midwest

11. DESIGNS FOR PHASE 4 OF RIVER’S EDGE PARK REVEALED

Across the Missouri River, the Southwest Iowa Nonprofit for Collective Impact (SINC) released the final plans for Phase 4 of the Council Bluffs Riverfront development. After completion the development is expected to not only generate over $300 million a year, but help attract and retain talent.

The first of the new attractions, Belles’ Play Garden, opened this summer, and aims to teach children about the local ecosystem through interactive play elements, like the 15-foot-tall pelican that can be climbed.

Pete Tulipana, SINC president and CEO, said another feature will be the MidAmerican Energy Adventure Tower. The 138-foot-tall tower will include multiple viewing platforms “on different levels, taking visitors above the trees to experience the expansive and unique river, woodland and city views.”

“An adventure course is part of the tower and provides challenging outdoor activities, including a 50-foot climbing wall, simulated caving experiences and a rollguide,” Tulipana said.

A fun fact, the climbing wall is designed to meet the requirements of a preOlympic site for speed climbing, and visitors will be able to climb through 400 linear feet of simulated caved environments.

Other features will include a treetop walk spanning 2,480 linear feet that will connect with Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, as well as a pier.

“The pier will provide an above water experience taking pedestrians beyond the edge of the Missouri River,” Tulipana said.

Construction on the remaining elements is expected to begin in the Spring of 2023.

Jeffery said her first six months in Omaha have been “incredible.” “At the Greater Omaha Chamber, we are involved in so many important efforts to transform our city and that has all been rewarding. Personally, I am proud of all I have gotten to learn about Omaha: who we are, what we represent and all that is to come for our growing region,” she said.

12. UNMC NEBRASKA CENTER FOR WOMEN’S HEALTH RESEARCH APPROVED

Approved by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents on April 8, the Nebraska Center for Women’s Health Research is meant to be a nationally recognized center for women’s health research. Its aim is to reduce health care costs in the state of Nebraska through collaborative research, education programs, patient care and outreach. John Davis, Ph.D., will be the inaugural director of the center. He is also the director of the Olson Center for Women’s Health.

Additionally, the center will promote and facilitate educational opportunities on women’s health issues and health disparities, as well as be a platform for experts to speak to researchers, educators, students and the community. Cross-campus collaboration is also said to be a priority.

13. ROADMASTER DRIVERS SCHOOL OPENS

As Omaha is an important transportation hub for the Midwest, the Roadmasters Drivers School opened a facility at 10008 Sapp Bros. Dr. to meet demand. The school offers a course to become a licensed truck driver in four weeks. The school has opened at a time when the national truck driver shortage has reached 80,000, according to the American Trucking Associations. The school aims to graduate around 500 students each year.

14. AUTISM ACTION PARTNERSHIP COMMON SENSES FESTIVAL

A month-long citywide event, the Common Senses Festival, a production of the Autism Action Partnership, was formed with the purpose of positively impacting inclusion efforts for the Omaha autism community. With more than 5,000 attending the festival, events included installations, performances, lectures and workshops. There were 29 organizations represented at the “Don’t Just Dim the Lights” arts and inclusion symposium and 138 speakers during the Timbre Talks, an effort to lift the voice of the autism community. Taking place during Autism Awareness Month, the event was created by Kate Noble Weitz. Weitz recognized a need for such an event in Omaha after taking a trip to New York City with her son Freddie for a performing arts festival for children on the autism spectrum.

15. JOSLYN ART MUSEUM CLOSES DOORS FOR RENOVATION AND EXPANSION

Joslyn Art Museum announced that it would temporarily close at the beginning of May for two years as a major renovation and expansion takes place. The last addition to the museum was made in 2009 when two new sculpture gardens were added to create outdoor experiences.

A new 42,000-square-foot building will be attached to the Walter & Suzanne Scott Pavilion, which was added in 1994, changing the face of the museum.

The new building will be named after Rhonda and Howard Hawks of The Hawks Foundation and is being designed by Snøhetta, a Norwegian architecture firm, and Omaha-based Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture. The first floor of The Rhonda and Howard Hawks Pavilion will house the new atrium lobby, the museum

shop, and community space. The second floor will house galleries that will rely on natural lighting from the atrium’s horizontal skylights.

In an effort to help guide visitors, the primary access point has been moved to Davenport Street and the front entrance will be relocated near the new entrance drive.

The new atrium entrance will be named after nationally renowned artist Phillip G. Schrager, whose work will be displayed. The Phillip G. Schrager Collection of Contemporary Art gifted the museum over fifty works of art to display in the atrium.

The retaining wall on the southeast corner of Dodge street is also being lowered to provide visitors arriving from the east a clear view of the destination.

The Museum plans to reopen in 2024, and entrance to the museum will remain free.

16. THE GRANARY GREEN OPENS IN RALSTON

One piece of Ralston’s Hinge Project came online with the ribbon cutting for The Granary Green, an outdoor event space next to the iconic Bushwackers on Ralston’s Main Street.

The Granary Green is part of a $20 million investment in the former Old Ralston Granary area, which has been renamed the Granary District. The developer for the project is I See It Ventures, whose CEO Gordon Whitten was quoted in a press release saying “we are coming together with the city to create jobs, innovation, and economic revitalization.”

When completed the district will house commercial tenants, as well as residents.

The Granary Green is 14,000 square feet and has a 27-foot LED screen that can be used for concerts, viewing parties and movie nights.

Since opening the venue, The Granary Green has hosted events such as the Independence Day Concert, Douglas County Fair events, the Bourbon, Beer & BBQ Festival, tailgating and watch parties, and more.

The Granary Green is attached to the Granary Districts event venue, Venues at the Granary, which hosts weddings and social events.

Scooter’s Coffee opened two new distribution centers – one in Omaha, and one in Atlanta – under Harvest Roasting, the company’s vertically integrated supply chain division. There is also a second distribution center in Omaha, as well as one in Kansas City, Missouri and Dallas, bringing the total to five.

“Opening new distribution centers in Omaha and Atlanta has allowed us to ramp up production and optimize our supply chain,” said President Joe Thornton who joined the team in July 2022. Thornton previously served in senior leadership roles at companies such as Starbucks and Jamba Juice, and is the founder of Vizzionnary Brands.

“These centers will be a key catalyst in helping achieve our goal of operating 1,000 stores in the United States by 2024.”

The newly opened Omaha distribution center is located at 13564 Valley Ridge Drive in La Vista, and will help service 300 Scooter’s drive-thru kiosks in 10 states. The Atlanta location will reportedly help Scooter’s enter “into new and growing markets in the South and Southwest,” according to a press release.

Announced on May 8, the Pottawattamie County Community Foundation changed its name to Community Foundation for Western Iowa. The name change came at a time when the foundation saw a need to expand its philanthropic support services beyond the county and throughout the Western Iowa region. Under its umbrella, programs and services include: SHARE Iowa, Make IT Happen, and two field of interest funds: the Women’s Fund of Southwest Iowa and the Southwest Iowa Mental Health & Substance Abuse Fund. The strategic vision was decided upon by the foundation’s board of directors, stakeholders, donors and committee members.

22. NEBRASKA MULTISPORT COMPLEX LAUNCHES

Officially launched on May 27, the Nebraska Multisport Complex has been in the making for 11 years. With a few bumps in the road, and a delay after breaking ground in 2016, zoning changes were approved in April. Currently in Phase 1 of development, the project includes 12 multipurpose fields. The economic impact is forecasted to be $9.9 million.

“This past spring, the launch of the Nebraska MultiSport Complex (NMSC) in La Vista is a game-changer as it places Nebraska and the Omaha Metro area as not only on par but a gold standard among facilities in Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and Des Moines,” said Mike Cassling, chairman of the board of directors in a statement.

The Championship Field Complex opens March 2023 with events including its Nebraska Spring Kickoff March 3-5 and an opening festival April 1-2.

The City of Council Bluffs quietly purchased 93-acres of land east of Lake Manawa State Park with the intent to create infrastructure for future affordable workforce housing. In a statement from the City, the land could fit nearly 400 units in a variety of options, ranging from single family homes to rowhomes and multi-family housing.

The city used over $4 million in ARPA (American Rescue Act Plan) funds to purchase the land, which was the second largest allotment, signaling the City’s commitment to affordable housing.

“Our intent would be to develop the land with streets and infrastructure (sewer & water) and sell the newly developed lots to a variety of builders at a price that doesn’t include any profit for lot development,” said Mayor Matt Walsh.

“The lower lot sales price would then be passed through to the ultimate homebuyer so that we can produce reasonably priced, safe and affordable ‘workforce housing’. In a perfect world the City would recapture its initial investment through lot sales.”

While planning is still in its infancy, City officials have signaled their intent to keep houses between the $170,000 and $250,000 range. More information will be released in 2023.

25. GENE LEAHY MALL REOPENS

After nearly three years of anticipation the Gene Leahy Mall reopened over the July 4 weekend.

“Our opening weekend alone drew about 50,000 people to the park, and thousands more in the months that followed,” said Kristyna Engdahl, director of communications at the Metropolitan Entertainment & Convention Authority (MECA).

MECA manages The Riverfront development, which when completed will include Heartland of America Park, Lewis and Clark Landing and the Kiewit Luminarium in addition to the Gene Leahy Mall. The entire development will reportedly cost over $300 million dollars, the majority of which are being privately donated to The Downtown Riverfront Trust.

Where the lagoon previously meandered is now 50,000 square-feet street level lawn space. New additions include a performance pavilion, sculpture garden, dog park, playground and a fountain that doubles as a splash pad during the summer. Staples include the iconic downtown slides, as well as the Solo Building arch and “The Heritage” statue.

The park is patrolled by security 24/7, and bathrooms are locked when the park closes to help create and preserve a safe space.

Programming has included free fitness classes on the lawn, music concerts, movies on the lawn, Art Jam in the Park with Joslyn Art Museum, Book Cart and Out and About events with the Omaha Public Library, dog training classes, and more.

“We continue to activate Gene Leahy Mall with holiday and seasonal events, while also planning for the grand opening of Heartland of America Park and Lewis & Clark Landing in the summer of 2023,” Engdahl said.

31. YOUTH SPORTS COMPLEX IN LINCOLN ANNOUNCED

A dream for an accessible baseball and softball complex for youth in Lincoln has finally gotten feet. Jeff Maul, executive director of Visit Lincoln and vice president of the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce, said the idea for the Lincoln Youth Complex has been around for nearly 16 years, starting back in 2006 with the 2015 Vision Committee.

“[The committee sought to] create pillars of development for our community and it included a sports triangle of facilities that would build out the destination,” Maul said.

The triangle included Haymarket Park, Memorial Stadium, and Pinnacle Bank Arena, with a youth sports complex nearby.

Located off of Cornhusker Highway and I-80 near Oak Creek, the complex will have eight synthetic turf fields dedicated to accessibility for all ages, backgrounds and abilities.

One field will be the new home for Homer’s Heroes, a league for kids ages 5-17 who have physical or intellectual disabilities. Another field will be the new stadium for Nebraska Wesleyan University’s baseball and softball teams.

During the summer, Maul said the plan is to open five fields to Lincoln Youth from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Complex will work with Nebraska Wesleyan University and other athletic programs to provide softball and baseball camps.

“Community partners will contribute to removing obstacles for youth, including help with transportation, equipment and uniforms,” Maul said. “We

have had conversations with and have commitments from various community partners (YMCA, Community Learning Centers, the Clyde Malone Center, the Asian Community Center, the Center for People in Need, Boys and Girls Clubs, and others) to help us connect with youth.”

The $27 million project is being funded by the City of Lincoln, Lancaster County, and private and public donors in the community.

32. SHARE IOWA LAUNCHES

The local Better Business Bureau (BBB) — serving Nebraska, South Dakota, parts of Kansas, and southwest Iowa — hit a major milestone this year when it celebrated the 25th annual BBB Torch Awards for Ethics Luncheon (formerly the Integrity Awards) on September 21.

Nearly 600 people showed up to recognize local businesses and hear from keynote speaker John Carreyrou, a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter for The Wall Street Journal and the author of “Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup.”

“We are so grateful to all who took part in the 25th BBB Torch Awards for Ethics luncheon,” said local BBB President and CEO Jim Hegarty. “It was incredibly moving to see so many business and community leaders come together for the sole purpose of elevating trust in the marketplace.”

Omaha honorees included: Burton A/C Heating & Plumbing & More, Florence Home, Hurrdat, Mr. Car Shipper, North End Teleservices, Outlook Enrichment, and PayPal.

It also recognized three high school students with the 2022 Scott Mecham Student of Integrity Award.

“I am proud to have celebrated a quarter-century of this event in Omaha,”

Hegarty said. “We’re excited about what’s to come in the next 25 years.”

Nominations for the 2023 BBB Torch Awards for Ethics will open in the Spring.

In a bid to focus on recent expansions, locally owned and operated Baxter Auto Group sold four Chrysler Dodge-Jeep-Ram (Stellantis) dealerships to Edwards Auto Group.

“We’ve been primarily focused on expansion with our recent dealership openings in Kansas City, Nebraska and Colorado Springs,” said Mickey Anderson, president & CEO at Baxter Auto Group, in a press release.

“With strong demand for established, profitable dealerships, our team determined that this was an appropriate time to divest of these stores. This transaction is consistent with our long-term plan for geographic diversity.”

Edwards Auto Group will retain the Stellantis store at 180th and Dodge streets, and has sold the Papillon location to H&H and the Lincoln store to Sid Dillion.

In the past two years, Baxter has purchased Toyota of Colorado Springs and opened Baxter Subaru La Vista and Subaru of Olathe.

Baxter currently operates 11 dealerships in the Greater Omaha area, two in Lincoln, four in Kansas and two in Colorado Springs. It also operates eight B Street Collision Centers; five in Omaha, one in Lincoln, and two in Kansas.

“We remain optimistic about the automotive industry, and we will continue to look for new opportunities to expand our business and how we can better serve our customers,” Anderson said in the release. “We’re delighted with our operations in Omaha, which is an exceptional place to do business.”

“I am excited to be a part of an organization that is committed to its mission,” McCauley said. “As the future president and CEO of WoodmenLife, I hope to inspire others to live to their greatest potential.”

McCauley joined the company in 2008 as a vice president of core operations, and was promoted to senior vice president, operations in 2011. She was promoted to her most recent role as executive vice president & chief operating officer, secretary of WoodmenLife, in 2015.

Urban League of Nebraska announced a $2.9 million gift from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, the largest single contribution to the organization in its 90-year history. The funds will be used toward educational programs and initiatives for over 1,400 students, work programs for 4,000 adults and support services for approximately 3,000 low-income families. ULN will be implementing restorative practices to address factors related to the school-to-prison pipeline; inclusion of credentialed life and career coaching; and resources to measure and evaluate the impact of the new programs.

The Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) awarded $20 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) to 11 affordable housing projects in Omaha Qualified Census Tracts (QCTs).

In a bid to help unify and grow the tech sector statewide the Nebraska Chamber Commerce has launched Tech Nebraska.

Nebraska’s tech sector currently produces $4.5 billion in GDP and ranks in the top 15 states for most tech jobs per capita, according to a Nebraska Chamber press release.

However, a Milken Institute State Technology and Science Index for 2022 ranked Nebraska as No. 34 out of the 50 states. The index measures statelevel knowledge economies, including their capability to support business formation, job creation, and wage growth.

“Nebraska needs a thriving, unified tech sector to help drive its economy, compete for top talent and solve the challenges of tomorrow,” said Bryan Sloane, Nebraska State Chamber President, in the release.

“It’s imperative — regardless of whether you run a business in the urban core of Omaha, the shop floor in Columbus or from a pasture in the Sandhills. Every company is a tech company.”

Nebraska is off to a good start with $4.5 billion in GDP coming from the technology sector, according to the Nebraska Chamber.

Several organizations have joined the founding board, including representatives from Kiewit, Google, Methodist Health System, Union Pacific, Meta, and Workshop.

According to the Nebraska Chamber, Tech Nebraska will help “drive industry growth and position the state as a leader in the future of technology and innovation, advocate for tech-forward public policies and support the development of a diverse, talented workforce.”

Generations of Americans can still recall the announcer’s voice proclaiming, “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom!” at the beginning of each episode of the groundbreaking wildlife documentary series (1963-1988) that featured zoologist hosts Marlin Perkins and Jim Fowler, later joined by Peter Gros. Viewers might also remember the clever transitions to commercials for Mutual of Omaha insurance products (“Protect your kingdom…”); the show’s theme music; or even some of the geography, biology and wildlife mini-lessons from the family-friendly series.

The long association between Mutual of Omaha and the award-winning television series was seeded in 1962 in discussions between Mutual of Omaha chairman and CEO V.J. Skutt and Perkins himself. The company had served as a sponsor for “Zoo Parade” (1952-1957), produced by Don Meier and hosted by Perkins, the same team that ultimately launched “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom.”

Like many, wildlife expert Peter Gros grew up watching “Wild

Kingdom” in the 1960s. As a youngster in rural Hudson Valley, he played in a yard that backed to woods and wildlife.

“I was immersed in nature,” he said. “You might say I was sort of hardwired to this as a career.”

In 1986, Gros joined “Wild Kingdom” as a co-host, staying with the show until its first run ended two years later.

“Watching Marlin Perkins with Jim Fowler in these amazing locations around the world sort of set the hook that this was something I wanted to do someday,” he said. “It was a dream come true.”

Gros’s connection to the animal kingdom goes well beyond his time with “Wild Kingdom,” encompassing four decades of experience. He served as Marine World/Africa USA’s vice president and director of land animals, established breeding programs for hundreds of endangered species, and developed a rehabilitation program for birds of prey and the largest captive breeding colony of ostriches in the U.S. He’s a licensed Exhibition & Animal Educator

for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is involved with the American Zoo and Aquariums Association, Association of Wildlife Educators, and Zoological Association of America. Gros also serves on the board of directors of the Suisun Marsh Natural History Association and as a trustee for the Cheetah Conservation Fund.

He continues to be a frequent conservation and preservation lecturer with a mission to “excite people about wildlife and teach them to understand and care about the natural world.”

Now he’s revisiting his childhood dream. In January, Gros — who will undoubtedly be instantly recognizable to late 1980s “Wild Kingdom” viewers 35 years later — will be back on television as host of “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom: Protecting the Wild,” a new series emphasizing conservation success. “Protecting the Wild” will appear on RFD-TV with the first season’s 10 episodes featuring black bear cubs, sea turtles and manatees, sea otters, beavers, coral (an episode with Nebraska angle), big cats, blackfooted ferrets, wolves, California condors and birds of prey, and American crocodiles.

“We’re going to be continuing to inspire a generation of people to commit to helping protect the natural world,” Gros said.

The first episode of “Protecting the Wild,” which premieres on January 2, exemplifies the theme of the series, following two black bear cubs in the aftermath of a wildfire that encroached on their Pacific Northwest habitat. The seriously injured cubs were successfully treated and rehabilitated.

“They had to be treated with no contact with people while they were awake. So, they were tranquilized and treated each time and they were still wild; there’s a fear of people. We watched their progress over the year,” Gros said.

“The highlight of this show for me is that eventually we took them up to the Cascade Mountains in the state of Washington, way up in the forest, and turned them loose. And they ran back to where they belong in the wild. Like many of the original shows, it’s very moving.”

The public already hears plenty about concerns with wildlife and the environment, Gros said. He wanted to tell a different story.

“Our focus was to talk to experts in the field and partner with them, in some cases, about successful projects so we can create hope and show this next generation that yes, indeed, we still do have environmental problems but if we will work together, we can solve them,” he said, citing examples such as supporting the otter

“These are the kinds of stories that people are going to see,” he said. “They all are positive, successful stories about all the work that takes to make these good things happen for conservation.”

The new series, like the original, is suitable for families to watch together.

“We’re trying to target everybody who’s interested in saving wildlife in the natural world. This is not necessarily age-specific, from my point of view. So, there’s a nice connection with the original show,” Gros said. “In some cases, you [even] hear Mr. Perkins speak, or Mr. Fowler.”

Gros has countless engaging stories about his animal encounters over the years — both within and outside of “Wild Kingdom” — from dodging rocks flung by African elephants in Zambia to being painfully bitten by an Andean Condor on camera. He chuckles as he recalls a long-ago “Wild Kingdom” adventure where he entered shark-inhabited waters off the coast of Australia in a shark cage —

As damaging ecological factors impact habitats, science is finally understanding the importance of beavers for the health of our planet. Peter Gros meets the people tackling this complex subject hands-on.

wearing a vivid yellow wetsuit to see if sharks were attracted to bright colors. An evolution in production, however, means filming sharks in Monterey Bay for the new series was a contrasting experience, he said.

“We had a drone just over the surface of the water,” Gros said. “I was safely on a boat with a monitor and a laptop.

“I think back to the days when we were dragging 70-pound cameras around and setting up the film, and if the light changed you lost continuity… The major difference is now with everything being digital, we can film with drones, we can film with heat-sensor cameras and with motion-sensor cameras,” he said. “In many cases when we film wildlife now, they don’t even know they’re being filmed, so you see very natural behavior in the new show.”

He enjoyed his return to the field, Gros said, and he’s proud how the first season of the new series has turned out.

“My expertise had to do more with the breeding and raising of a dangerous species and designing free-roaming animal displays. So, for me to spend so much of my career doing that, and then being able to travel all over the world, filming a wildlife with experts and researchers and scientists and biologists and telling their story to people back home—that to me was such a treat,” he said. “I’m just honored to be able to do this with our new show. There are so many great stories to be told.”

Rydalch Electric will continue to operate under the same name and build upon its reputation and history in the Salt Lake area. Rydalch Electric’s leadership and staff will remain in place, leading its day-to-day operations. Its general contractors, subcontractors and vendors will see no interruption in the same great service to which they have become accustomed.

Commonwealth Holdings, Inc. was formed earlier this year in October as the parent company of Commonwealth Electric Company of the Midwest. Commonwealth will be combining its resources with Rydalch Electric’s highly- trained professionals to deliver excellent electrical services to the Salt Lake City area, in addition to its current locations in Nebraska, Iowa and Arizona.
