Five partners – the Greater Omaha Chamber, City of Omaha, Metropolitan Community College, University of Nebraska Medical Center and Omaha Public Schools – have aligned to form REACH, a new collaboration that will help small and emerging businesses build capacity and respond to increased contracting opportunities in Omaha and throughout the region.
Through this unique partnership, REACH will connect SEBs to strategic partners and community organizations to provide technical assistance. It will also utilize the Chamber’s extensive network of businesses and institutions to facilitate relationships, disseminate information, and convene decision-makers.
Over the next 15 years, a percentage of more than $3 billion in construction projects will be allocated to small and emerging businesses (SEBs). REACH will assist in securing more than $100 million in SEB contracts.
At its heart, REACH is a collaboration, a multi-partner and multi-faceted approach to ensuring SEBs are ready to bid and capitalize on new projects and reach their strategic goals. To learn more about REACH, visit the Greater Omaha Chamber website at selectgreateromaha.com.
