Weather, Green Energy, and Community Cleanup in Virginia Beach

Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Saturday, January 3rd. We kick off with breaking news from yesterday, when a vehicle struck a house on Summer Lake Lane, according to Virginia Beach Police. No serious injuries reported, but it serves as a reminder for us to drive carefully on our wet roads. Speaking of weather, we have light rain and overcast skies this morning around 58 degrees, feeling like the mid-50s with northeast winds at 20 to 30 miles per hour, per the National Weather Service. Expect sprinkles tapering off by afternoon, but grab your rain gear for outdoor plans today, with highs holding steady in the upper 50s. Tonight clears to partly cloudy, lows in the mid-30s, and we look for mostly sunny skies tomorrow with mid-40s.

Over at City Hall, we are watching state lawmakers refile bills that could let our city require solar canopies over parking lots at places like Lynnhaven Mall, boosting green energy and shading our cars. On the job front, Sands Anderson PC in nearby Richmond just elected Max Hlavin as a new shareholder, focusing on real estate and local governance, which could mean more opportunities for our developers and planners here.

Real estate stays steady, with about 1,200 homes listed citywide, rounded up from recent reports, and median prices around 400,000 dollars. No major business openings or closings this week, but keep an eye on our boardwalk spots gearing up for winter events.

For community fun, join the First Friday art walk remnants at the Virginia Beach Arts Center tomorrow, or catch upcoming family storytime at Pungo Library on Monday. Our schools shine too, with Kellam Highs varsity basketball team notching a win over Landstown this week.

Crime report from the past day stays low key, just that Summer Lake incident and a few minor thefts near Red Mill Commons, VBPD says, with no public safety alerts.

To warm our hearts, a local group at Mount Trashmore Park cleaned up 50 pounds of litter yesterday, bringing neighbors together for our beaches.
