Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Sunday, January 12, 2025.
We're starting off with the latest on the winter storm that hit our area. The storm brought significant snowfall, with Frankfort reporting 8.3 inches and the Blue Grass Airport showing 6 inches[1][3]. This led to hazardous road conditions, prompting Fayette County Public Schools to close on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Kentucky National Guard has been assisting in clearing roads and restoring power across the state.
In local news, Mayor Gorton declared a snow emergency for the City of Lexington, and the Fayette County Sheriff's Office activated its Winter Care Program to provide critical assistance during the storm[1]. The city's warming centers, including one in Anderson County, have been open to help those in need.
On the job market front, there's a major hiring announcement from Publix Super Market, which is opening a new location in Lexington. A hiring event is scheduled over three weekends into February at the Embassy Suites by Hilton, with part and full-time positions available in all departments[2].
In real estate, we don't have any major updates today, but we'll keep you informed as new developments emerge.
From city hall, the focus has been on managing the winter storm's impact. The city has been working around the clock to clear roads and ensure public safety.
The weather today is expected to be cold but quieter, with the winter storm slowly winding down. However, travel conditions are still hazardous in many areas, so please exercise caution if you need to venture out[1].
In new business activity, we're looking forward to the opening of the new Publix Super Market. Meanwhile, the Blue Grass Airport has been working to restore operations after canceling all departures and arrivals due to the storm[1].
Upcoming community events include the continuation of the hiring event for Publix Super Market. We'll also keep you updated on any rescheduled events that were postponed due to the storm.
In local school achievements, we're proud to mention that No. 10 Kentucky earned a thrilling win over No. 6 Florida in basketball[1].
For a feel-good community story, the Catholic Action Center has been requesting sandwich and snack donations to help those in need during the winter storm[1].
In today's crime report, there have been several incidents related to the storm, including a Kentucky State Police trooper injured in Hart County and multiple traffic incidents. Additionally, there was a shooting in Laurel County that resulted in one person being charged with assault[1][3].
This has been Lexington Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
