OMAHA- The Department of Economic Development, a state agency responsible for the selection and oversight of millions of dollars in grants, will host a pair of open houses next week in South and North Omaha. Organizers say the events provide an opportunity for residents of the urban areas to meet staff members who work in the North and South field offices, and to learn about the department’s many programs.

“DED places a premium on developing these relationships, which we see as key to unlocking the immense potential for growth in North and South Omaha,” said chief strategy officer Trevon Brooks, who guided the opening of the North Omaha office in 2021. The South Omaha field office opened just last year. Both offices are playing a large role in the North and South Omaha Recovery Grant Program.

Registration is requested for both open houses, which are to include Spanish-speaking interpreters, according to a media statement. The first open house will be on November 13th from 8:30-10:30 a.m. at 2909 Edward Babe Gomez Avenue. The second open house will be on November 14th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at 5730 N.30th Street.
