Virginia Beach Local Pulse: Fire Rescue, Job Opportunities, Real Estate, and Community Events
Published 1 year, 4 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for December 6, 2024.
We're starting off with some breaking news from the past few days. The Virginia Beach Fire Department recently saved four people from a boat in distress, showcasing the bravery and quick action of our local emergency responders. Additionally, a woman was hurt after being struck by a vehicle in Virginia Beach, and we urge everyone to be cautious on our roads.
Moving on to the job market, the City of Virginia Beach is recognized as one of America's Best-In-State Employers for 2024, offering a variety of career opportunities. Currently, they are hiring for positions such as Director of Economic Development and Rental Housing Administrator. If you're looking for a new career path, now might be the perfect time to explore these opportunities.
In real estate news, a prime piece of commercial vacant land is available for development on Virginia Beach Boulevard, south of the Hilltop Commercial District. This property is zoned B-2 commercial, making it suitable for retail, mixed-use, commercial storage units, and office buildings. With heavy daily commercial traffic and easy access to Interstate 264, this could be a great location for businesses looking to expand or relocate.
From City Hall, Councilmember Henley hosted her last monthly District 2 community meeting for 2024 yesterday, providing residents with updates on current city projects and issues pertinent to them. These meetings are a great way for residents to engage with their community and have their questions addressed.
Looking at the weather, today is expected to be mostly sunny, making it a great day to get out and enjoy our local parks and beaches. However, we do advise everyone to be mindful of the surf conditions and follow safety advice to stay safe.
In new business activity, the Totally Tribute Music Fest is coming to Virginia Beach, promising a fun event for music lovers. Additionally, the Ex-VB Farm Fresh could soon have indoor go-karts, offering a new entertainment option for our community.
Upcoming community events include the holiday festivities around the city, so be sure to check out local listings for more information. In local school achievements, VB students were selected for a national pitch competition, showcasing the talent and innovation of our young residents.
On a feel-good note, the ERC toll relief program is offering 'free money' to eligible residents, providing some financial relief during the holiday season.
In today's crime report, we have a few incidents to mention. A man recently relived a Virginia Beach shark attack, reminding us all to be vigilant when enjoying our beaches. Additionally, there was a private plane emergency landing in Bertie County, and we're glad to report that everyone involved is safe.
This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
