Grow Omaha on News Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Good morning, and welcome to the Gromaha Show, brought to
you by Dingman's Clision Center and Cheer Athletics. This is
the only radio show that gives you an update and
keeps you updated on economic development news and let you
know what retailers, restaurants, and businesses are opening in our community.
Many thanks to our title sponsored Dingmon's Clision Center. It

(00:39):
is family owned. I have actually met and worked with
the fourth generation and nineteen ninety six they have four
locations soon to be five, which I'm going to talk
about Northwest, Midtown Omaha, Southwest and Papillion. Dingmon's Clision Center
has been chosen the best of Omaha and auto body
repair every year since two thousand and five, and I

(01:02):
am proud to announce that near two hundred and second
in Highway three seventy on Husker Driven early part of
twenty twenty six, a twenty six hundred square foot autobody
repair shop by Dingman's will be the fifth location in
the metro area, so Gretna will be well served. My

(01:26):
tenacious co host Jeff Beals has taken the weekend off. However,
I'm pleased to have a man who has served our
community for many decades in business and many aspects of
local government. He is also running to be the next
United States Congressman in Nebraska's second District, Briger Harding. Welcome
back to Gromaha.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Good morning, Trenton. Thanks for having me here.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
It's been a while and you and I have worked
together in business, in commercial real estate. We are on
the planning board together. You are a fourth generation Omahon
and your professional experience prior we're currently serving on the
Omaha City Council includes being chief chief of Staff and
Director of Economic Development to Mayor hal Doab and the

(02:08):
commercial estate professional as we talked about, and a member
of the Omaha Planning Board. And in the next two segments,
we're going to talk all things Omaha as well as
discuss your plans to improve the federal government.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
You think you can fix.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
It, I'm going to give it my best. That is
that is awesome?

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Well, absolutely I will. We have another Grow Omaha Eats
restaurant review from our acclaimed writer Chris Corey. The fox
Den opened August fifteenth at forty sixteen Underwood Avenue, replacing Lebau,
just downstairs from Udo Lali, which is a great restaurant.
To be fair, it's more of a refinement than a replacement.

(02:51):
Where Lebau was a small plate tapas inspired bar, The
fox Den is focused on approachable, elevated bar food with
a robust, creative cocktail list, a concept designed to draw
more foot traffic. It's warm, inviting, and distinctly local. So
you can read the full review at Gromha dot com

(03:13):
in the review section. Along with Chris does a great
job on his movie reviews. It is time for the
development News of the Week sponsored by Eagle Mortgage Company,
the best place for residential mortgages. Holly Schneidewen runs a
tight shift. They've been in business for over thirty years.
Their licensed mortgage brokers serving Nebraska, Iowa. You can either

(03:35):
go to three h three North one hundred fourteenth that's
one hundred fourteenth in Davenport, or go to Eagle Mortgage
Company dot com to start your home buying adventure. Go
there and get a pre approval. Atter, they're not beholding
to any banks. They can shop your mortgage, look at
your financial wherewithal and give you the best solutions. Well,

(03:58):
the escape lounges. When I heard that there's an escape
lounge at the new airport expansion coming twenty twenty seven,
I was thinking, what if I'm late for my flight,
if I get stuck in the escape lounge. So what
do you think, Brinker the first ever, this thing's gonna
be huge. Me on a third level, it will be
interesting overlooking the tarmac, and it's part of the nine

(04:22):
hundred and fifty million dollar airport Terminal Expansion modernization project. Anybody,
you don't have to be a Platinum American Express Platinum
member or Black Card or anything like that. Anybody can
pay the price and hang out in this lounge. Have
you heard much about it?

Speaker 3 (04:40):
I have. And first of all, the you know, the
near billion dollar improvement to Eppley Airfield is a great,
great addition to the city. It's going to help increase
the number of passengers that are going through there. I
think that lounge is actually behind security though, so it's
not like right and make plans to go out on

(05:02):
Friday night and just go and enjoy the watching the
planes take off. But great addition to the airport. And
soon we'll have international flights as well, and they will
also honor you, so you can pay to go in there.
But if your Priority Pass or whatever, Dragon passes some
other credit card, credit card programs allot of participants, and

(05:23):
I'm guessing that you have to have a flight or
something like that.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
If you're a member. You can't just go there and
eat all your meals there and go home. But to
have a high speed WiFi and nicer restrooms and a
bar and everything else if you're playing gets delayed. H's
that's a wonderful thing. Interestingly, Escape Lounges is based in Manchester,

(05:47):
United Kingdom, has twenty locations in the United States, along
with five in the UK and two in Australia. The
closest existing locations are in the airports in Kansas City, Minneapolis,
Northwest Arkansas, and Tulsa, Oklahoma. So we're excited about that,
you know what, I don't think we're gonna get as
far as I know. And we've had the guys from
the airport that who do a wonderful job on the

(06:08):
on the expansion and running our international airport, even though
it's definitely airfield. Jeff and I call it the international airport.
And I don't think they're going to have a moving walkway.
I was kind of bummed about that. You know, you
and I both travel quite a bit. Yeah, and when
you're going across an airport, a busy airport, it's good
to have a moving walk.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
I think it's still going to be compact enough that
you don't really need that. And then and look, we
all want to get our steps in too, don't we.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I've definitely get my steps in an airports in my time.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Well, here's a cool project, people asked us.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
We had a lot of people write in about the
fencing that's up at Redency Court just north and east
of Borsheim's and Bonefish Grill. Prestige flower Child, a health
conscious restaurant chain at a one twenty Regency Parkway on
the north side. Construction has started in the parking lot
and it's a five thousand square foot, one story structural

(07:07):
steel frame building which includes commercial kitchen and covered outdoor patio.
I hope it's the same flower It's called Prestige flower Child.
But have you ever been to a flower Child in
Arizona or Scott I not know.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
I've seen the concept, but I've not actually been to one.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Very light, big windows.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
It's healthy, a lot of healthy options, but it's just
a new take on a restaurant.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
So I'm really excited about that.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
It'll be a great addition to what's already going on
in regency. It's a lot of tremendous eating opportunities and
other commercial opportunity, retail opportunities.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
No great edition, no question.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Moving West, Nebraska Cancer Specialist plans to open a full
service clinic at the recently announced Brian Elkhorn Campus, to
be built southwest of two hundred and fourth and Westerner Row.
Ten thousand square foot clinic will be Nebraska Cancer Specialists
six Omaha area location and sixteenth in Nebraska and Iowa.

(08:09):
Phase one of the Brian elcorn Campus will include two
medical buildings puttaling one hundred and thirty seven thousand feet.
The clinic is expect to open in twenty twenty seven.
This is that Bravada, I think they call it that
something like that, and it's been sitting there for a
long time. But we have another health system moving into Omaha.
Is that crazy?

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Look, the health industry is very important to Omaha's economy,
and I think we're nationally known and really internationally known
for the services and the research that as well as
the medical services that we have here in Omaha.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
It's I was telling you these guys before the show,
is that I got a nice little letter from Medica
and if I stick with Medica, it's forty one percent
increase and that's pretty high. So I got to check
into that and figure out. The Brinker has assured me
that he's going to take care of the rising health costs,

(09:08):
so I'm gonna reply on him. I won't have everybody
else call you for that, though. So here's what right
up your alley. The Omaw City Council approved the city's
final capital commitment to the riverfront. Although there's been three
hundred and fifty million dollars to cover the cost from philanthropic,
community and private partnerships, these things need to be maintained.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Right absolutely, and that you know, that's interesting. When I
was running for the city council, that was one of
the things I really talked a lot about, is being
able to leverage those public private partnerships, and really what
we've been able to do in Omaha is in large
part as a result of those relationships. But you have

(09:51):
to make sure that those who are willing to invest
in Omha have to make sure that the city's going
to be a good partner in that and maintain those
those assets. So you talked about the park, the downtown
Riverfront Parks. You know, three hundred and fifty four hundred
million dollar project, you know, three hundred I'll say it's

(10:12):
over four hundred million dollar project. About three hundred and
fifty million of that comes from the private sector, the
filmthropic community, and the city puts in about fifty or sixty.
And if we're able to make those kind of leverage
those kind of investments' that's just to the benefit of Omaha.
But we have such a tremendous film thropic community that's

(10:34):
willing to invest in Omaha. We'll do those all day
long as long as I'm around.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Isn't kind of fun that when when you're in the
Mayor's office, the Chief of Staff and Economic Development with
Mayor hal Doabb the Convention Center was built.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yeah, that was really when hal was was mayor of Omaha,
and when I worked from them for you know, basically
from about nineteen ninety five to two thousand, twenty hours
a day, just about. But it was a great opportunity
for me and in Omaha at the time, if you remember,
for those who can remember, our downtown area was was

(11:09):
just dying absolutely for for how to have the vision
to come in and you know, we'd talked about a
new arena, convention center. How many studies had been done.
You know, the Civic Auditorium was really like our living room.
Everything we did in Omaha was at the Civic Auditorium.
Creighton basketball, or the home show or.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Or the by the Big O' show at the holiday
in the holiday uh uh Hotel holiday in Hotel at
seventy second. I spent too much time there and too
much rubber chicken. But also uh, when how was in office?
Uh the first National Tower right the Union Pacific uh

(11:50):
headquarters and there's a lot going on down there.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
But yeah, and that's but those are those are really
I would say for all that that that happened at
that time, which was great, is also the reason why
you see even more investment, more interest in downtown Omaha.
Those are really the building blocks to be able to
do things like the downtown, Riverfront parks, or the new
Mutual of Omaha Tower. You know the vision that Hal had.

(12:18):
I mean, I was very fortunate to be at the
table and see a lot of those projects and be
a part of a lot of those projects that really
transformed our city.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
And we'll get into more of those projects. Public art,
what's going on downtown, what's going on for the rest
of the city and the state. Have the next break,
and that is your development news of the week sponsored
by Eagle Mortgage Company. Please go to Egle Mortgage Company
dot com to start your home buying adventure and we
will be back in two minutes and two seconds right

(12:47):
here on eleven ten kfab and welcome back to the
GROMA Show sponsored by Cheer Athletics and Dingman's Collision Center.
I'm Trenton Maggot. Jeff Beals, who usually sits in this
seat has the weekend off, and I am joined by
our friend Brinker Harding. And Brinker Harding serves on the
Omaha City Council and he is also running for United

(13:11):
States Congress for Nebraska's second district. And we are talking
about all things Omaha, Nebraska and what is going on
in our fair City Brinker, we're talking about downtown and
having a vibrant community and how your time in city

(13:31):
government and the Mayor's office many years ago, how things started.
And now we're starting to see not just this three
hundred and fifty million dollar riverfront park, but we're also
seeing things like this urban garden and park under construction
at seven twenty seven South thirteenth Street that'll be called
Polina Gardens. According to KFATV. It will be owned and

(13:53):
maintained by Lords and Gardens, which does a great job.
This is thirteenth southeast of thirteenth and Jones Street. How
did things like this come about for the public good?

Speaker 3 (14:03):
Well, I think again I said it maybe a little
bit before the break, but it's the willingness and interest
of a lot of those in the philanthropic community that
are willing to invest in Omaha. I mean, we have
great arts, we have great sports, we have great entertainment options.
And to have those individuals want to see our city

(14:25):
improve and partner both with the public sector on those projects,
I think says a lot for our city.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Absolutely, And I remember when the Lords and family First
National Bank, who've been such great corporate citizens and employ
a ton of people in our city. We're looking to
figure out where they're going to build their headquarters and
their new headquarters, and they're looking out west, and they

(14:53):
knew it'd be a lot easier to go out west
and take some farm land and stuff like that, but
they made the commitment to go downtown and build the
tallest build. And now you've got another great corporate citizen,
Mutual of Omaha that their building is a lot more
expensive because it's a lot later and you're going to
have the tallest building between Chicago and Denver and the Cranes.

(15:15):
At its highest level, it's gonna be six hundred and
seventy seven square feet forty four stories. What role did
the Omaha City Council play in that, Well, I.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Think the Mayor's office and Mayor Stothard at the time
and the City Council played a great role in that
had it not been for the investment that Mutual was
willing to make and the city to help in that
process for the approval process. Look, it's made a great

(15:47):
difference for our downtown area and it also opens up
the opportunity for the redevelopment of Mutual's current campus, which
is also going to be an important part of the
development of Omaha. And again it kind of ties in
with un MC's campus and what they're doing, So you
will have an incredible amount of development that occurs from

(16:12):
downtown out to the med Center. Probably I think the
projections are over four billion dollars of investments in the
next you know, ten to fifteen years in that area.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
And then you've got Todd heastand and Mary hoastand what
they're doing with the duo, the Central Park Plaza, all
of those apartments right next to the Mutual Towers amazing.
The restaurants, Pickleman's is right there. They do a great
business and all American Burger my friend that runs that.
But it comes without it doesn't come with a little

(16:46):
heartache with current construction. And we've seen that on Farnham
Street and stuff. And we've seen that the Chamber put
together a million dollars to go through to some of
those tenants to keep them going and everything else. I
implore people to visit those restaurants and those retailers and
it's a temporary pain for a long term gain.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
That absolutely is. And I it's those retailers, those commercial
operations that are along the route of the street car
certainly are going to have business interruption, and I applaud
the Chamber for putting a fund together to help with
that business interruption, if you will. Interestingly, I also looked

(17:31):
at the possibility of seeing if there were city funds
that might be available to help in that regard, especially
with I asked the question the answer was no, but
asked the question of could some of the tax increment
financing revenues that are generated by the development in that
in and along the route, if those could be used

(17:54):
for some of that business interruption that fund and the
answer is no, that's not one of the uses that
you can use tax and financing revenues for. But we
need to make sure, as you said, to to make
that extra effort to visit those retailers, to visit those
commercial operations in the interim, because at the end of

(18:15):
the day, we do need to help them get through
there through this period. But after it's all done, it's
gonna be it's gonna be fantastics.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
Gonna be died on.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
But they've got they've got to hang on and everyone's
got to contribute to get them through this.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Another thing, one other thing I sabbian Zaldo. I think
many people in omm might remember subbian Zaldo, but I
use one of his lines quite frequently. This is again
not to diminish the the kind of the pain that
some of these retailers are going through. But he used

(18:50):
to say something that I kind of liked is that,
you know, especially if it's road construction or this is
that with all those orange cones out there, it's behind
every one of those orange cones is a little bit
of progress.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
There's no question. There's no question about it.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
And the street cars the same way, and it's gonna
take a little while, but it's gonna be dynamite when
it opens. There's been a lot of talk in front
of city council about the the the homeless and the encampments.
You see these tents popping up on public properties and
stuff like that. Uh, and then it's a process and

(19:26):
give us just a short overview. I know it's short,
I know it's I know it's a complicated, and you're yeah,
it's yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah, something I'm very passionate about because I want to
I've seen that, at least anecdotally, I've seen or through
constituents who have contacted me, and I just think the
general public would probably agree that. Sure seems that we're
seeing a lot more of this activity in Omaha, and
I wanted to make sure that we addressed it sooner

(19:54):
rather than later, because the time to take care of
a problem isn't after it's out of control. It's to,
you know, stem it before it's out of control. So
I introduced at the end of August an ordinance to
address the encampment issue in Omaha. The current ordinances didn't
give us the ability to clear the encampments out. And

(20:17):
for the people who say I'm criminalizing homelessness, I'm not
criminalizing homelessness. They're already probably up to fourteen ordinances in
the City of Omaha that they could be cited for
in these conditions, whether it be loitering or littering or
something along those lines. They could have already been cited
for those What this ordinance would do would give us

(20:39):
the ability to clear out the encampment so that it
is a public safety issue. Is a public health issue
both for the people in these environments but also for
the people and the businesses that live around these environments.
So that's what I was trying to accomplish. And when
I originally introduced it, I said I would work with

(21:02):
the Mayor's office to come up with a solution that
would you know, the ordinance I introduced originally was to
start the conversation. What I came up with in my
work with the amended the amendment of the hole that
I proposed. It would have the police officers would have
been able to upon first contact, offer those people the

(21:24):
ability to get to a shelter or get the help
they need. If they didn't accept at that point, they
would be given twenty four hours to clear the encampment.
After that the officers would come back again offered them
the ability to get to a shelter place of help.
If they didn't do that at that time, they would
cite them, give them a citation for you know, violating

(21:46):
the encampment ordinance. At that point they would then the
city would contact the agencies certain agencies working with the
city to help them get into a place of help
or shelter. It also would give them the ability to
go into a diversion program, a problem solving court, and

(22:07):
if they did that, then if they successfully completed that,
the charges would be dropped. So there was a bit
of a carrot and stick, but again it was not
criminalizing homelessness. It was intended to get them the help
that they need, and it takes care of the public
safety issue for both those in the encampments and those

(22:28):
in living and around. I'm sorry. One quick other point
is that these people in the encampments, unfortunately have are
living in conditions with sex trafficking, prostitution, drug use, just
the human squalor. I don't want those people to be
subjected to those conditions for one more day, and that's

(22:49):
why I was trying to get the help immediately to them.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
I applaud you for starting with the discussion. And it's
complex issue that it takes a lot of people to solve,
and I want to thank Aaron Hanson for leading the
charge on a lot of that. We've seen a lot
of his stuff on social media and stuff, and he's
he's got his heart in the right place and it
takes everyone to help in that issue.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Well, it is time for the middle of the show break.
You're listening to Trenton Maggot and brinker Herding. We're going
to be right back in a few minutes to talk
about other things about Omaha. We're gonna talk to Brinker
about the state of Nebraska and his race for the
federal government.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
Welcome back to the.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Gromaha Show sponsored by Dingman's Clision Center and Cheer Athletics.

(24:21):
time for the Real estate Development Spylight sponsored by Nol Companies.
Every week we talk about a development project associated with
Novel Companies.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
One of the.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Most prolific developers in the Midwest, Zarbon Village, Keywit headquarters
in the Builders District and the Valmont headquarters out west,
just to name a handful novels. Developments are diverse and
range from anchored open air shopping centers, Class A office buildings,
residential projects, and mixed use developments. Well in today's real

(25:00):
estate development spotlight, we're actually going to talk about Nodel
Companies itself and a few of their other projects. They
have moved back downtown and there is a ton of
activity in the Builders District. A ten block urban village
totally more than six hundred and fifty million dollars in
private development, anchored by Kewitt Headquarters Corporate Corporation's headquarters after

(25:23):
many years of austin in the zurban Village area. Another
no project, they moved into their brand new offices at
fifteen oh one Mike Fahey Street, which is a mass
timber building they developed. They certainly like to be where
the action is. We've talked about Create University's announcement recently
called let It Fly Together, a nearly three hundred million

(25:47):
dollar investment in the Create athletics and recreations through new
and upgraded facilities across seventeenth Street right next to the
Builders district and they're really set making a sense of
community there. The other thing I want to talk about
with with novel is, uh, they just landed Red Door Grill.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Have you ever been to Red Drollery Grill?

Speaker 3 (26:10):
No, I have not.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
It's gonna it's gonna take the former Spirit World Space.
It's like eight thousand square feet on sixty seventh Street
at Exarbon Village. So that's a new one. A lot
of people like it, and uh, it's a good place
to go. Not All Companies is an Omaha based full
service real estate company and can be reached at not
a Companies dot com. So back with Brinker Harding and uh,

(26:39):
there's so much going on, you decide. Was it in
July that you announced that you're running for United States Congress?

Speaker 3 (26:45):
We announced on July first, absolutely, and we were in
parades on July fourth weekend, had signs. We were very
well organized and learned to make sure that people knew
from from day one that we were going to be
the most organized, hardest working campaign out there and that
we were going to win in May and we were
going to win again in November.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
And there's no doubt, whether it's social media or the
parade routes or unions. You were at an event before this,
I mean you're you're all over and that's what it takes.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
But also.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
There are a lot of issues that you're going to
be faced with the first day on the job. And
right now we're in the middle of a government shutdown,
and there's talk that you know, for grants for the
University of Nebraska system. The White House said had a
report that said just in Nebraska that while the government

(27:42):
is shut down, it's about ninety eight million dollars impact
and state economic output, meaning we're losing because the government
shut down.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
How do you fix that?

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Well, I think the best fix, or the easiest fix,
would be for the Democrats to vote for the clean resolution.
And and they're the ones who are in control right
now of keeping the government closed. They need to vote
for there clean resolution and get the government back open
and then we can have the negotiations on the issues
that that they're trying to hold hostage by by not

(28:19):
passing the clean resolution.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
The let's go to another fun subject on a national
level is tariffs and how tariffs affect UH Nebraska farmers.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Is that where you went, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:36):
Go ahead, a question, Well, I get.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
I can tell you this like, Yeah, for for instance,
we nine of the corn exports, ninety percent of soy,
fifty seven percent of soybean meal, thirty two percent of pork,
and of Nebraska beef. When it comes to exports, all
goes to only three countries, and the tariffs that come

(29:01):
out of Washington can certainly affect our growers and our farmers.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
How do you.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Absolutely, I just met with the Farm Bureau a week
or so ago, and you know, this is obviously an
interesting subject and one that means a lot to our
economy statewide. I mean, agriculture is still the economic engine
of the state and that's why it's so important. So
on these on the tariffs when they were originally you know,

(29:30):
some of the tariffs were originally announced, I think a
lot of Nebraskans, especially our farmers and ranchers, were willing
to give the president some leeway and see how it
could work out. As as we get, you know, into
the harvest season, we see what's happening with with our
row crop prices, and now with with the beef industry,

(29:50):
with the recent tariffs that were announced, or consideration of
what the present was going to do with Argentinian beef.
It's I think there's you know, look, our farmers and
ranchers want to make sure that their product gets to
their customers. They don't want to just rely on a bailout.
They look, they produce and they want their product which

(30:12):
is the best that's that you know, worldwide, it's it's
the best product out there, both in terms of beans
or corn or beef or pork or poultry for that matter.
But we need to make sure that we have those markets.
I don't think China's bought a bean from from from
the US since May. And when when those markets go away,

(30:35):
Trenton and those customers go away and they look for
they still had the demand, so they go to Brazil
or they go to another you know country to get
that product. And then when we get the these trade
issues resolved, it's you know, and we're you know, back
selling those products. It's harder to get that customer back.
So we need to make sure that we're getting these

(30:58):
issues resolved. And I don't know if you talk more
about the recent announcements of maybe bringing more Argentinian beef,
which will artificially lower the price of beef for those
meat products and we don't want that. Yeah, we don't
want that. We need to make sure that our products
have the markets to be sold in worldwide.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Absolutely, And there's so much more we could talk about,
and we are going to come back from the final
break with the Perkins Chrisler Construction Round, but I want
