Grow Omaha posted this earlier today. Anyone know what it might be?

A MAJOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ANNOUNCEMENT???

The Greater Omaha Chamber has scheduled a press conference for 9 a.m. tomorrow (Monday, March 12th) to announce "An Economic Development Win." Governor Ricketts, Mayor Stothert and other dignitaries are scheduled to speak.

This event will be live-streamed at https://www.facebook.com/GreaterOmahaChamber/

Rumored insurance company taking the Gavilon building?

[Bob from Omaha]

If it isn't the European village with streetcars Light Rail monorails and a canal I'm going to be disappointed

[Omaha Cowboy]

Looks like I picked a good week to take off from the daily grind..

Can’t wait to hear what this announcement brings...

Ciao..LiO...Peace

[MadMartin8]

If the Gov'na is involved then it has to be pretty big.

[Doctor Fate]

Very excited to see what this will be.

Last time they did this, it was to announce the Olympic swim trials were coming back. I mean, that's nice and all but I don't know if it warranted the mayor and governor to announce it. So, hopefully, it's a little more exciting than that. I wonder if they found a tenant for their building. Maybe Hy-Vee is taking it. I think that's the perfect spot for a grocer. Right in the middle of everything.

What are some possibilities?

Something I heard last night: First Data building new office building where library is.

Didn't really believe it and possibly not related to this announcement, but that's what I heard.

I Don’t completely know Ken..

As someone mentioned, could it be the “rumored” First Data employee move to the civic site downtown? I doubt it..

We’ll see. Stay tuned...

Hopefully it's not the Gene Leahy Mall plans that the mayor touted in her State of the City address as a "signature" for the city and that designs for it would be released "later in the Spring".

That would be underwhelming to me...

[nebugeater]

Could it be the "official" announcement that the international horse event is coming back?

[Garrett]

Obviously it's Amazon.

/s

But really, do we have a list of previous economic developments that the governor has been involved in the announcements of? I really hope it's an out of state relocation or something big like that. If it is the announcement of some event, that's just not nearly as exciting.

Ok. It's Monday morning going on 9 Omaha time. Does anyone else find it funny that this "Win" hasn't been mentioned in the media anywhere? If it was a "Big" "Win" wouldn't the Chamber have made a few phone calls?

[Brad]

Haven't announced it yet, but since the Chamber posted "We're cheering a repeat win! #WeDontCoast", I am guessing its an award and not a new project.

Its just a press conference to celebrate winning the Site Selection Magazine's Governor's Cup for most projects per capita.

If this is true then is this anything more than a campaign stop for the Gov???

[Omaha Cowboy]

Oh well..

So much for any major economic development announcement..

Not sure they needed a major presser to tell us this. Nice win nonetheless...

Nice win but hugely disappointing.
