Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Friday, July Fourth. Happy Independence Day to everyone across the city. Let’s start with what’s happening downtown. All eyes are on the Gene Leahy Mall tonight for The RiverFront Fourth of July Celebration, a free event that’s quickly become an Omaha tradition. The festivities kick off at 3 PM with live music from the Omaha Symphony and will wrap up with a spectacular fireworks show. There are free sensory kits available for folks who need them and the event is fully accessible, so neighbors of all abilities can join in the fun.

Weatherwise, we woke up to warm and mostly sunny skies, and the forecast calls for it to stay clear throughout the day, perfect for grilling or heading out to the celebrations along the Missouri River. It’ll be a hot one, so keep cool and stay hydrated, especially if you’re bringing young kids or older family members outdoors.

City Hall’s been busy this week, even with the holiday. The City Council just met Tuesday at 1819 Farnam Street, tackling a number of plat approvals. One notable development is the preliminary and final plat approval near 70th and Grover for the MH Landing project, which should bring more housing options to the area. Meanwhile, the Planning Board is moving forward with the Pine Creek Woods project southwest of 156th and Potter, which includes new commercial space. These decisions could mean more construction and jobs right here in our neighborhoods.

Speaking of jobs, the local market remains steady. We’re seeing new postings, especially in healthcare and logistics. Real estate remains tight, with average home prices holding steady just above three hundred thousand and homes selling within two weeks of going on the market.

If you want to keep the celebrations going, the city’s big fireworks display starts at 7:05 PM, but plan to arrive early as parking fills up quickly. The RiverFront event promises to be one of the best spots for families tonight.

A quick update on local sports: Omaha’s high school baseball teams finished strong this past weekend, with Central High clinching a come-from-behind victory at Papio South. Local student-athletes are already getting ready for fall tryouts, so expect to see more activity on school fields soon.

Crime has remained mostly quiet through the holiday week, with Omaha Police reporting only a handful of incidents overnight, mostly noise complaints and a few fireworks violations. There were no major safety alerts or arrests reported in the last twenty-four hours, which is always good news heading into a busy night of festivities.

And here’s a feel-good story for you. Volunteers from north Omaha neighborhoods spent yesterday afternoon handing out water and setting up shade tents at Miller Park, making sure everyone celebrating has a place to cool off. It’s just another reminder of how Omaha comes together for each other.

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