Tulsa Local Pulse: Fires, Shootings, Winterfest, and Community Support

  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Wednesday, December 4, 2024. We're starting with some breaking news from the past few days. An industrial fire in west Tulsa sent black smoke billowing into the sky, and crews worked to contain the fire. Our local news teams covered the scene and kept the public informed[3]. Additionally, Broken Arrow police are investigating a deadly officer-involved shooting that occurred recently[4].

    Moving on to the job market, we don't have any major hiring announcements to report today, but we're keeping an eye on local job postings and business expansions. The current unemployment rate remains steady, and we'll update you if there are any changes.

    In real estate news, there's been a notable rezoning at 161st and Memorial that's raised questions about flooding. Officials cite mitigation efforts to address these concerns[2]. We're also watching for updates on new development projects and construction in the area.

    From city hall, we have an update on the I-44 and SH-66 interchange project in Catoosa, which is set to begin on December 2[1]. This project aims to improve traffic flow and safety in the area.

    Weather-wise, today is looking seasonably cool to chilly, with temperatures staying in the mid-40s. We're expecting a calm day, but we'll keep you updated if there are any changes in the forecast.

    In new business activity, Arvest Winterfest has officially kicked off in Tulsa, featuring skating and lights at the BOK Center[1][4]. This event runs through January 6 and is a great way to get into the holiday spirit.

    Looking ahead to community events, Plaza Santa Cecilia is hosting a Song and Food Fest to encourage local shopping[4]. Additionally, the Downtown Tulsa Partnership is helping small businesses add holiday-themed art to their storefronts.

    In local school achievements, we don't have any specific updates today, but we're always proud to highlight the accomplishments of our local students and athletes.

    On a feel-good note, the community is coming together to support a Muskogee teen battling cancer, showing the strength of our local community[4].

    In today's crime report, we have the aforementioned deadly officer-involved shooting in Broken Arrow, and we're also aware of a single-vehicle crash in Delaware County that left one dead and another injured[1]. We urge everyone to stay safe and aware of their surroundings.

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