  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Sunday, January 5, 2025.

    We're starting off the new year with some exciting news from the tech sector. Virginia Beach is emerging as a thriving tech hub, with major companies like Doma Technologies investing $3.7 million and creating over 300 new tech jobs[2]. This growth is driven by key sectors such as Software Development, Cybersecurity, and Data Science, with job growth rates reaching up to 28% in some areas. Salaries for tech professionals are also on the rise, with Software Engineers and Data Engineers earning up to $198,000 and $191,000, respectively.

    In other news, the city is gearing up for several events this month. The Hampton Roads International Auto Show is set to take place from January 10-12 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, featuring almost every make and model of new cars without sales pressure[1]. Additionally, the Coastal Virginia Wedding Showcase will be held on January 12 at The Founders Inn and Spa, offering consultations with top wedding-industry professionals.

    Moving on to real estate, there are no major updates on notable property sales or new development projects. However, the city council has a busy schedule ahead, with several workshops and formal meetings planned for the next few weeks, including discussions on short-term rental regulations and innovation park updates[3].

    Weather-wise, it's looking like a chilly but sunny day today, perfect for outdoor activities. However, we recommend checking the forecast for any updates before heading out.

    In terms of new business activity, there are no major openings or closings to report. However, the city's tech scene is buzzing with activity, with companies like In Motion Hosting and Mythics offering competitive salaries and benefits[2].

    Looking ahead to community events, the Winter Wildlife Festival is set to take place from January 25 to February 2, celebrating coastal wildlife and nature with over 50 activities and excursions[1]. Additionally, the Mid-Atlantic Home & Outdoor Living Show will be held on January 18-19 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, featuring the latest in home and outdoor living trends.

    In local school news, there are no major achievements or sports results to report today. However, we'd like to highlight a feel-good community story about the Virginia Beach community coming together to support local libraries in their efforts to review and update their materials.

    Moving on to today's crime report, there are no significant incidents or arrests to report from the past 24 hours. However, we remind everyone to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.

    This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
