Tucson Local Pulse: Pedestrian Struck, Measles Case, Upcoming Events and Job Opportunities

Description
Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Sunday, January fourth.

We're starting this morning with an important public safety alert. Yesterday morning around eight thirty nine, a pedestrian was struck in a hit and run incident on South Mission Road. A sixty two year old man was injured in the collision and received emergency care at the scene. Tucson Police Department is actively investigating and asking for your help. They're looking for a black or gray Toyota SUV that was traveling eastbound at the time. If you witnessed anything or have information, please contact police immediately.

On a more positive note, our community is gearing up for some great activities this weekend and beyond. The Tucson Jazz Festival kicks off tomorrow night with Latin jazz and salsa performances that celebrate Tucson's rich musical heritage. If you're looking for something fun with the family, Old Tucson's Wild West Adventure Park is opening fully on January seventeenth with brand new stunt shows and all the classic attractions everyone loves.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the first ever Empire Ranch Run is coming up, featuring a ten kilometer trail run, a five kilometer walk and run, and a one mile family friendly option. It's a wonderful way to start the new year active and connected with neighbors.

Speaking of community, we want to highlight some important health information. Public health officials are investigating a confirmed measles case in Pima County, so if you have any concerns about vaccination status, especially with children heading back to school, now's a good time to check in with your healthcare provider.

On the business front, Tucson continues to see economic growth. Bass Pro Shops is actively recruiting more than one hundred fifty full time and part time positions as they prepare to open a new location here in town. The American Red Cross is also hiring for remote service agent positions right here in Tucson if you're looking for meaningful work in the community.

We're also tracking some broader economic news that affects us all. Discussions are underway about the Project Blue data center development, which would bring significant investment to our region, though questions remain about water usage and local impact.

This has been Tucson Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Thank you so much for tuning in and please don't forget to subscribe to stay connected with what's happening in our community. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out quietplease dot ai.
