Local Business & Economy: Omaha’s Fallen Giant Films says a DED-funded $5M grant suspension has left it unable to work or pay staff, raising questions about state support continuity. Food & Community: Lincoln’s Food Bank held a “Canned Creations” competition where businesses built sculptures from food to generate thousands of meals. Public Health: Nebraska Community Blood Bank marked its Eagle Run anniversary while warning supplies are at their lowest since COVID, urging donations.
