Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Friday, December 13, 2024.
We're starting with some breaking news from the past few days. There was a tragic shooting near Tallwood Elementary, leaving one person in critical condition. Our hearts go out to the family and friends affected by this incident. The police are still investigating and asking for anyone with information to come forward[4][5].
Moving on to the job market, we have some updates. There are currently over 749 job openings in Virginia Beach, with top employers like Target and Sentara Healthcare hiring. Notably, part-time employees at some companies are now eligible for full benefits, including healthcare. If you're looking for a new opportunity, now might be the time to apply[2].
In real estate news, there are some significant developments. The Planning Commission is set to discuss a conditional rezoning for properties on Dam Neck Road and Dam Neck Station Road. This could lead to new mixed-use developments in the area. Additionally, the city is considering amendments to the airport noise attenuation and safety ordinance, which could impact property values and sales[3].
From City Hall, we have some updates on decisions that affect our daily lives. The Planning Commission is also set to schedule monthly meetings for 2025, ensuring that our community has a voice in local planning decisions. Furthermore, the city is working on renovation plans for Level Green Park, which will enhance our recreational spaces[1][3].
Weather-wise, it's looking like a chilly day ahead, so make sure to bundle up if you're planning on being outdoors. There are no major weather alerts at this time, but we'll keep you updated if anything changes.
In business news, we have some exciting openings and changes. The Totally Tribute Music Fest is coming to Virginia Beach, and production is underway for a Pharrell biopic movie at the Oceanfront. Additionally, the old Farm Fresh location could be transformed into an indoor go-kart facility, offering a new entertainment option for our community[1].
Looking ahead to the next few days, there are some community events you won't want to miss. A funeral will be held for Dejour 'DJ' Crippen, the Indian River High student who tragically lost his life in a shooting earlier this week. The community is welcome to attend and show their support for the family[5].
In local school news, we have some achievements to celebrate. Students from Virginia Beach have been selected for a national pitch competition, showcasing their entrepreneurial skills. Additionally, the VB School Board has renewed its membership with the Virginia School Boards Association, ensuring that our schools stay connected with state-wide initiatives[1].
Finally, in our crime report, we want to remind everyone to stay safe and vigilant. The police are still investigating the shooting near Tallwood Elementary and are asking for anyone with information to come forward. If you have any tips, please call the Crime Solvers at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP[4][5].
