    Omaha High School Champ, Police Pay Raise, Housing Market Trends, and Community Events - March 13, 2025 Local Pulse
    Mar 13 2025
    Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for March 13, 2025.

    We're starting with some exciting news from the world of high school sports. Congratulations to Omaha North High School wrestler Tyson Terry on winning the 2025 Boys Class A 285-pound state championship. The entire city is proud of your accomplishment, Tyson.

    In local government news, the Omaha Police Department may be getting a pay raise. A proposal was announced earlier this week, and we're waiting to hear more details on how this might impact the city budget. Speaking of public safety, there was a stabbing incident yesterday that left one person critically injured. Authorities are investigating, and we'll keep you updated as we learn more.

    On the real estate front, Omaha's housing market continues to show strength. The average home price in the city now stands at around $280,000, up about 2.5% from last year. While that's good news for sellers, it's making things a bit tougher for first-time buyers. However, experts say Omaha remains more affordable than many other major cities.

    Job seekers have reason to be optimistic. Omaha's job market entered 2025 on firm footing, coming off its second-strongest year of employment gains in the past decade. Major employers like Berkshire Hathaway and Union Pacific continue to provide stability to our local economy.

    In cultural news, Omaha Fashion Week wrapped up its spring festivities on Sunday. Organizers are hoping the event has fostered year-round relationships between local designers and the community. If you missed it, don't worry - there's always next year.

    Looking ahead to the weekend, we've got some great community events coming up. The annual St. Patrick's Day parade will be making its way down Dodge Street on Saturday, starting at 10 AM. And don't forget to check out the new exhibit opening at Joslyn Art Museum on Sunday.

    Weather-wise, we're looking at a beautiful spring day ahead. Expect sunny skies with highs near 70 degrees. Perfect weather for getting out and enjoying our city parks or taking a stroll along the Missouri River.

    In business news, we're hearing rumors of a new tech startup setting up shop in the Old Market. While details are still under wraps, it's another sign of Omaha's growing reputation as a hub for innovation.

    Lastly, we want to give a shout-out to the volunteers at Food Bank for the Heartland. They've been working tirelessly to ensure no one in our community goes hungry. If you'd like to help, they're always looking for donations and volunteers.

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