With shovels in the ground and drums in the air, Sacramento Republic FC’s long-awaited stadium project has officially begun—powered in large part by investments from local Native American tribes. The groundbreaking is being hailed as a milestone that could reshape the city’s railyards and forge new partnerships between tribal nations and the state capital.

After twelve years of planning, developers have broken ground on a $43 million, 194-unit apartment complex near 26th and Leavenworth Streets in Omaha. The project transforms a former dairy into much-needed housing near downtown.
