Portal:Business

This is the general business portal of the OmahaWiki. It contains information regarding business in Omaha. Omaha has many different forms of business ranging from small, one owner businesses, to multimillion dollar, Fortune 500 corporations. Omaha’s founders had a great vision when they incorporated the city more than 150 years ago. Today, that vision is reborn in excitement and exuberance sweeping the area. With one of the largest chamber memberships in the nation, nearly 3,600 members, the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to continuing this momentum. Its very mission statement – to increase business, investment and employment in Greater Omaha – is a commitment to the entire metropolitan area and the state of Nebraska.
