Published 1 year, 4 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Wednesday, December 18, 2024.
We're starting with some breaking news from the past few days. The Virginia Beach Police Department has made a second arrest in connection to the deadly shooting on Fox Creek Court, and a 17-year-old Chesapeake boy has tragically died after a shooting in Virginia Beach[1]. Our thoughts are with the families affected by these incidents.
Moving on to the job market, we have some updates for you. Indeed.com lists over 844 job openings in Virginia Beach, with major employers like Target hiring for various positions, including guest advocates and customer service representatives[2]. These jobs offer competitive salaries and benefits, including healthcare for part-time employees.
In real estate news, we don't have any major property sales or new development projects to report today, but we do want to mention that city leaders are looking at designs for the future of the Virginia Beach Convention Center area, which could bring new opportunities for local businesses and residents[1].
Speaking of city hall, the Virginia Beach City Council recently received a clean audit for the fiscal year 2024, which confirms the city's compliance with accounting requirements[3]. This is a significant achievement and a testament to the city's financial management.
Weather-wise, it's a chilly morning today, but we're expecting a mostly sunny day with temperatures in the mid-40s. If you're planning on heading out, make sure to bundle up and stay warm.
In new business activity, we're excited to see local bakeries thriving after the COVID-19 pandemic, with many finding recipes for success[1]. We're also looking forward to the Pulse festival, a community-driven celebration of diverse talent in the Hampton Roads arts community, which will take place in the coming months[5].
In community events, the JCOC's Giving Tuesday effort is providing food and Christmas gifts to people in need, and you can still make a difference by donating or volunteering[1]. We also want to mention that the Virginia Beach toy drive is benefiting both children and shelter pets, so consider dropping off a toy or two to support this great cause.
In local school achievements, the Green Run High School basketball team has been dominating the Beach District, but Salem High School is looking to change that[1]. We're also proud of the Virginia Beach boy who was shot and is now working on his recovery with the help of a piano teacher[1].
In today's crime report, we want to remind everyone to be careful on the roads, as there has been an uptick in crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists[1]. We also want to mention that a man has been arrested for allegedly breaking into a Virginia Beach school and peeing on the playground[1].
Finally, we want to share a feel-good community story with you. A Virginia Beach mother is spending the holiday season with her family after undergoing heart transplant surgery, and we're sending her all our best wishes for a speedy recovery[1].
This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
