Omaha is the place to work.

There has never been a better time to do business in Greater Omaha.

New and expanding companies. More jobs. Billions of dollars in capital investment. Unprecedented partnerships between the public, private and academic sectors. The metropolitan area is seeing businesses – both large and small – grow at a pace unlike any in its history.

There are at least a million reasons for this phenomenal growth – starting with the 1.2 million people who live within a 60-minute drive. They are hard-working, dedicated and well-educated.

The city’s AAA bond rating, high quality of life and comparatively stable economy appeal to companies, as do its central location and strong communications links. Tax incentives, job-training credits and other benefits are in place that make the area and the state even more business-friendly.

Together, these factors have resulted in a spirit of progress that is getting noticed. “Omaha has tremendous wealth, industry and influence,” USA TODAY stated in its August 8, 2005 editions. “It ranks eighth among the nation's 50 largest cities in both per-capita billionaires and Fortune 500 companies. No coastal city can claim a ranking as high as Omaha on both lists. Not San Francisco. Not Los Angeles nor New York.”

Dynamic corporate leaders. Dedicated government officials. Valuable Chamber support. Easy access. Significant incentives. Proactive business and academic partnerships. An intelligent workforce. A united community spirit.

More than a million reasons why Omaha is a great place to do business!
