Pardon the expression, but WTF? Omaha? Talk about the middle of the Fly-Over Zone! But there are some things they do of note:

"Great tax breaks, a well-trained labor force, and affordable living are contributing to a mini-boom in Omaha's commercial development. Recent corporate emigres include AFLAC, which recently brought 100 jobs to the city, the Gallup Organization, and PayPal... But the information industry is hardly the only game in town: Omaha's rolling landscape and its many farm byproducts make it an attractive home for ethanol plants... Life in Omaha is easier on the wallet than in many other U.S. cities. The cost of living is 11 points below the national average; health-care expenses fall a comfortable 8 points below the national average. Houses in new-home developments range from $125,000 to $170,000, while the downtown Old Market area offers loft-style apartment rentals (approximately $750 to $1,200 a month at the rate of $1 a square foot) amid a string of shops, restaurants, and bars... In addition to many churches, Omaha has at least four synagogues, several Christian Science Reading Rooms, and one Hindu and one Buddhist temple... It's a wonderful place to raise a family."

For all the talk about marketing Cleveland, I have yet to see an article like this. For gosh sake's, you'd think someone around town could write a press release and send it to some national newspapers and magazines!
