Omaha Leaders Showcase Needs in Community Summit

Omaha Black Business

 

OMAHA, NE - In North Omaha, state and local leaders are trying to figure out where to funnel funds from the American Rescue Plan Act.

On Saturday (January 29), community leaders will have their opportunity to make their case on why investments in infrastructure, health care, and other areas are necessary.

For the Urban League of Nebraska's interim president Wayne Brown, this couldn’t come at a better time.
