Tucson Roundup: Bulldogs Bowl Win, Amazon Data Centers, and Local Artistic Flair
Published 3 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Sunday, December 28. We kick off today with exciting sports news from right here in our city. The Fresno State Bulldogs dominated the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl at Arizona Stadium yesterday, shutting down the Miami RedHawks 18 to 3 in a defensive masterclass. Richie Anderson scored the lone touchdown on a two-yard pass from EJ Warner, who threw for 214 yards, marking head coach Matt Entz's first FBS bowl win as the Bulldogs finish 9 and 4. What a thrill for our local fans under that sunny Tucson sky.
Shifting to city hall, developers behind Project Blue, those massive Amazon data centers planned around town, faced tough questions from residents near Kolb Road and I-10. They promise the project will be water positive and won't spike electric rates, but secrecy around NDAs has folks frustrated, wondering if were playing a suckers game in economic development, as Tucson Sentinel reports.
On the cultural front, four stunning new murals by local artists just popped up downtown near Congress Street to celebrate Tucsons 250th anniversary, adding vibrant color to our streets.
Weather-wise, were basking in mild highs near 65 degrees today with plenty of sun, perfect for outdoor activities, though a chilly evening dips to the low 40s. No major impacts, but bundle up for evening walks along the Rillito River Path. Outlook stays dry and pleasant through Wednesday.
New business buzz includes FC Tucson gearing up for their Western Conference semifinal against Ventura County Fusion this Sunday night, a rematch theyve won twice before. Keep an eye on Grant Road for traffic around the match.
In real estate, median home prices hover around 350,000 dollars, up slightly from last month, while job postings in tech and healthcare top 5,000 locally, per recent listings. Schools shine too, with University of Arizona studies highlighting how political swag might not mean votes, a quirky insight from our campus.
Crime report from the past day stays calm, Tucson Police noting no major incidents or alerts, just routine patrols keeping our neighborhoods safe.
For a feel-good story, were cheering community journalism as Tucson Sentinel reporters snag national awards for top-notch local coverage.
Looking ahead, saddle up for holiday trail rides and steps challenges at Udall Park this week.
