Published 4 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Thursday, December 25. We kick off with breaking news from our streets. Tucson police are searching for a driver in a fatal hit-and-run at North Oracle Road and Fort Lowell Road early Tuesday. The pedestrian did not survive, and investigators urge anyone with info to call in. KGUN9 reports another hit-and-run suspect wanted on the Northside, so we stay vigilant for public safety. In other incidents, emergency crews handled injury crashes at Speedway Boulevard and Swan Road, plus River Road and Campbell Avenue yesterday, with no life-threatening injuries.
Shifting to city developments, Pima County just closed a key land deal today for Project Blue, the massive data center southeast of town. KGUN9 says they sold the property to Bobcat B1 LLC for about 6.5 million, relocating our Trap and Skeet Facility. This boosts tech jobs and our economy long-term.
On a festive note, were wrapping up Christmas with TreeCycle turning old trees into mulch at spots like Udall Park. Miami RedHawks arrived Tuesday for the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl this Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at Casino Del Sol Stadium, facing Fresno State. News4 Tucson covered their mariachi welcome, and tickets make great last-minute gifts. Hotels near JW Marriott are buzzing.
Weather today brings mild sunshine, highs near 65 under clear skies, perfect for holiday walks around Saguaro National Park. No big impacts, but a slight cool-down tomorrow with possible evening clouds.
New business activity includes that Project Blue win, promising hundreds of jobs. Job market stays steady, with about 4,000 openings listed locally on sites like Indeed, many in tech and healthcare. Real estate sees median home prices around 350,000, up 5 percent yearly, hot near the University area.
Flowing Wells High is prepping students for auto careers, and generations celebrated Christmas on the Northside. For fun ahead, catch community caroling at Armory Park tomorrow evening.
