Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Monday, January 13, 2025.
We're starting with some breaking news from the weekend. A male swimmer was found washed ashore Saturday night at the Oceanfront and 16th Street, and two others were reported missing. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones affected by this tragic incident.
Moving on to the job market, we have some exciting news. The Virginia Beach cybersecurity job market is booming, with a 31.5% growth projected through 2026. Entry-level salaries start at around $79,000, and 68% of local businesses plan to invest in cybersecurity solutions. Major employers like Booz Allen Hamilton and Lockheed Martin are actively seeking talent, especially in areas like cloud security and IoT protection[2].
In real estate news, we don't have any major updates today, but we'll keep an eye on any significant property sales or development projects in the coming days.
From city hall, the Virginia Beach City Council recently held a swearing-in ceremony on January 7, 2025, marking the beginning of a new term for our local leaders[3]. We'll be keeping an eye on any decisions that affect daily life in our city.
Weather-wise, it's going to be a chilly day today, but we're expecting a brief warmup to start next week. Make sure to bundle up if you're heading out today.
In business news, Motel 6 is being acquired by the parent company of Oyo, a hotel operator based in India. We'll see how this affects our local hospitality industry.
Looking ahead to community events, Hampton Roads community groups are hosting debates and forums with candidates ahead of the November elections. We'll have more information on these events as they approach.
In local sports, William & Mary defeated Furman 34-24 at Zable Stadium in Williamsburg, Virginia, on September 21, 2024. Congratulations to our local athletes on their win.
On a feel-good note, hundreds turned out to Judge Eileen Olds Courtyard Park on Friday to welcome back former local heroes. It's always great to see our community come together to support one another.
Finally, in our crime report, we have a few incidents to share from the past 24 hours. A hole several feet wide was visible after a crash, which also damaged a support structure. We'll have more details on this incident as they become available.
This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
