Virginia Beach Local Pulse: Spring Weather, Rail Changes, and Job Growth - March 28
Published 4 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Saturday, March 28. We kick off with mostly sunny skies today, highs in the mid 60s and west winds gusting to 20 miles per hour, perfect for outdoor plans along the Lynnhaven Inlet or Rudee Inlet, though boaters note a gale watch offshore until early afternoon. Expect clear nights with lows around 49 degrees.
From City Hall, we see major rail changes affecting our daily commutes: the Surface Transportation Board approved Canonie Atlantic Companys abandonment exemption and Buckingham Branch Railroads discontinuance in Virginia Beach and Norfolk on March 24, potentially easing traffic near key tracks but impacting some freight routes. LifeNet Health here in town just won the Best Randomized Controlled Trial Award yesterday for their regenerative medicine work, boosting our biotech scene and local jobs.
On the job front, over 37,000 positions are open right now, from laundry attendants to claims specialists, signaling a strong market amid new business wins like LifeNets recent lab certification. Real estate stays steady, with median home prices holding around 425,000 dollars, drawing families to neighborhoods near the Oceanfront.
No major crimes in the past 24 hours, but were watching court dockets closely for public safety. Schools report solid wins: Kellam Highs basketball team clinched a regional playoff spot Thursday.
Looking ahead, catch the farmers market at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center tomorrow, and a community cleanup at First Landing State Park on Sunday. For a feel-good lift, locals rallied to restore a playground at Little Neck Park this week, bringing neighbors together.
