Published 1 year, 4 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Monday, December 23, 2024. We're starting off the week with some significant developments in our city.
Over the weekend, a tragic incident occurred when Virginia Beach Navy pilots were shot down over the Red Sea in an apparent 'friendly fire' incident. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones affected by this event.
In local news, a male swimmer was found washed ashore Saturday night at the Oceanfront and 16th Street, and two others were reported missing. We urge everyone to be cautious and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
Moving on to the job market, we see a robust landscape with over 750 job postings available in Virginia Beach, according to Indeed.com. Notable positions include a Dental Hygienist role with a salary range of $93,000 to $104,000 per year, and various positions at Target, including Guest Advocate roles.
In real estate news, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on December 11 to discuss several development projects, including a conditional rezoning for Dam Neck Associates, LLC. The project involves modifying proffers for properties on Dam Neck Road and Dam Neck Station Road.
From City Hall, we have updates on the holiday schedule. City trash and recycling services scheduled for Wednesday will be served on Monday, December 23. For a full list of closures and alternative schedules, please visit the city's website.
Weather-wise, we're expecting a chilly day today with partly cloudy skies. Make sure to bundle up if you're planning on heading outdoors.
In business news, Motel 6 is being acquired by the parent company of Oyo, a hotel operator based in India. This development could have implications for the local hospitality industry.
Looking ahead to community events, there are several debates and forums scheduled with candidates ahead of the upcoming elections. We'll keep you updated on these events as more information becomes available.
In local sports, William & Mary defeated Furman 34-24 at Zable Stadium in Williamsburg, Virginia, on September 21, 2024. Congratulations to the team on their win.
On a more somber note, we have a crime report. A shooting occurred near Tallwood Elementary over the weekend, leaving one person in critical condition. We urge everyone to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
Finally, we'd like to share a feel-good community story. Hundreds turned out to Judge Eileen Olds Courtyard Park on Friday to welcome back former residents. It's heartwarming to see our community come together like this.
This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
