A delegation from the Southeast Nebraska Development District spoke to the Gage County Board of Supervisors at its Tuesday meeting to update the board on building and broadband projects in the district. Tom Bliss, executive director of SENDD, said the district was able to raise $6.12 million from grants or other activities to help communities in Gage County complete projects. Oliver Borchers-Williams, the district's director of broadband, then told the board about $405 million of grants that will be distributed for broadband equity access and deployment efforts. Board Chairman Erich Tiemann praised SENDD as "the only development district early on that had a broadband team" and for all its work in the district.

A Union Pacific Railroad train spilled a synthetic rubber substance into a southeast Nebraska creek Tuesday when it derailed near the Cass County-Otoe County line. One of the cars was loaded with polyisobutylene, a synthetic rubber, that ended up leaking into Wolf Creek, according to a spokeswoman for Union Pacific. Union Pacific told Sorenson the derailment is believed to have been caused by thermal misalignment, which occurs when the heat causes the rails to expand and push out of alignment. Hazardous materials crews from Union Pacific are managing the cleanup. Also responding to the scene were firefighters from Nehawka and Nebraska City, Cass County Emergency Management and Otoe County Emergency Management.
