Blood Drives - American Red Cross


During the summer months, blood donations often drop to low levels.  As the nation’s single largest supplier of blood products and specialized laboratory services to area hospitals, the Red Cross needs your help to remind all eligible donors that summer is a good time to give.

From May 25 through Sept. 14, presenting donors (age 18 and older) can register online at redcrossracing.com to enter the Red Cross Racing “Summer Drive Sweepstakes.” Enter for a chance to win a new, fuel-efficient 2012 Ford Fiesta SE.

Red Cross Racing participants also get points for activities like giving blood and recruiting blood donors. Points can be redeemed at any time for fun racing-themed prizes or donated to support the Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces.

Thank you for your continuing support to help build awareness about the upcoming American Red Cross blood drives in your community.  Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Sincerely,

April Oppliger | Program Manager, Communications

Talent & Innovation Initiative Bills Signed
The Nebraska Legislature passed and Gov. Dave Heineman signed the final measures of a four-part legislative package into law, the Talent and Innovation Initiative, which is aimed at advancing business innovation and strengthening workforce recruitment efforts in Nebraska. DED will implement the Initiative programs contained in the bills.
Based on 2010 recommendations made in a comprehensive review of Nebraska’s economic climate by the Battelle Technology Partnership Practice, the Talent & Innovation Initiative was developed to better leverage existing funds and enhance momentum in developing industries positioned to benefit from technology and innovation.
LB 386, the Nebraska Internship Program, introduced by Sen. Lavon Heidemann of Elk Creek, takes effect June 1. It is a partnership with Nebraska businesses to create new internship opportunities for college and university students. Funded with $1.5 million a year in job training funds, and matched by eligible companies, the program will create opportunities for 500 to 750 juniors and seniors studying at four-year institutions or students in their second year at a Nebraska community college to gain job experience.
Awards will be made on a first-come, first-serve basis to companies creating new internship opportunities, which are capped at 10 per business. Internships will pay at least minimum wage and range from 12 week to year-long programs.
LB 387, the Business Innovation Act, introduced by Sen. Galen Hadley of Kearney, is intended to help businesses develop new technologies to enhance quality job opportunities in the state. It will provide competitive grants for research at Nebraska institutions, new product development and testing, and help expand small business and entrepreneur outreach efforts.
It will expand grant opportunities within targeted industries to help businesses providing matching funds with prototype development, commercialization and applied research in the state and provide assistance for microenterprise projects. The law takes effect Oct. 1.
LB 388, the Site & Building Development Fund, introduced by Sen. John Wightman of Lexington, takes effect Oct. 1 and is intended to help increase industrial and commercial sites available and ready for business development. Communities will provide matching funds toward projects that can involve demolition, new construction and rehabilitation. State funding will be focused on land and infrastructure costs with 40 percent of funding available to non-metro areas.
LB 389, the Angel Investment Tax Credit, introduced by Sen. Abbie Cornett of Bellevue, is effective for the current tax year. It encourages investment in high-tech and other startup enterprises in Nebraska by providing refundable state income tax credits to qualified investors investing in qualified early-stage companies. Capped at $3 million annually, the program requires a minimum investment of $25,000 for individuals and $50,000 for investment funds. Eligible small businesses must have fewer than 25 employees, with the majority based in the state. 
Award Renamed to Co-honor Steve Charleston 
During the recent 2011 Nebraska Annual Planning and Zoning Conference, the Distinguished Leadership Award for a Planning Advocate was renamed to honor both DED’s Steve Charleston and David Ptak, an attorney from Norfolk, Neb.
The award, now called the Charleston-Ptak Distinguished Leadership Award for a Planning Advocate, is awarded yearly by the Nebraska Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA).
Charleston has been involved in a number of activities to assure that the state’s community and citizen planners receive proper planning education. He was key to establishing a Technical Assistance Grant for the Nebraska’s APA Chapter. He also helped establish the Planning category within the state’s Community Development Block Grant program. Distributed since 1983, the CDBG funds are invested in comprehensive plans, infrastructure studies, housing, downtown and historic preservation, community needs assessments, and other studies.
For information, contact Steve Charleston at 800-426-6505, 402-471-3757, or steve.charleston@nebraska.gov
