    "Virginia Beach Local News: Shooting, Job Market, City Development, and Community Initiatives"
    Dec 11 2024
    Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for December 11, 2024. We're starting off the week with some exciting developments in our city.

    First off, let's talk about breaking news. Over the weekend, Virginia Beach Police Department reported a shooting near Tallwood Elementary, leaving one person in critical condition. We urge everyone to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. On a more positive note, local leaders reaffirmed their commitment to the Chesapeake Bay cleanup, a crucial initiative for our environment and community[1].

    Moving on to the job market, we see a robust landscape with over 749 job postings available in Virginia Beach, according to Indeed.com. Notable positions include a Dental Hygienist role with a salary range of $93,600 to $104,000 per year, and various positions at Target, including Guest Advocate roles[2].

    In real estate news, there are ongoing discussions about the future of the Virginia Beach Convention Center area, with city leaders reviewing design proposals. Additionally, Rudee Loop could be one step closer to becoming a public park, which would be a fantastic addition to our community spaces[1].

    From city hall, the recent city council meeting on December 3, 2024, covered several important topics, including zoning changes and development projects. You can catch up on the full meeting on YouTube[3].

    Weather-wise, it's a chilly morning today, so make sure to bundle up if you're heading out. We're expecting a mix of sun and clouds, with temperatures gradually warming up throughout the day.

    In new business activity, we have the upcoming Totally Tribute Music Fest coming to Virginia Beach, which promises to be an exciting event for music lovers. Additionally, there are plans for an indoor go-kart facility at the former Farm Fresh location, which could be a fun addition to our entertainment options[5].

    For community events, don't miss the JCOC's Giving Tuesday effort to provide food and Christmas gifts to those in need. It's a great way to give back to our community during the holiday season[1].

    In local school achievements, Virginia Wesleyan women's basketball is off to a strong start, and we wish them continued success. Also, kudos to the VB students selected for the national pitch competition – we're proud of our local talent[1][5].

    On a feel-good note, a local toy drive is benefiting both children and shelter pets, showing the compassionate spirit of our community[1].

    Finally, in today's crime report, we have a few incidents to report. A 17-year-old Chesapeake boy tragically died after a shooting in Virginia Beach, and there have been arrests made in connection to the shooting of Virginia Beach boy Landyn Davis. We urge everyone to stay safe and report any suspicious activity to the authorities[1].

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

  • Virginia Beach Update: Park Plans, Job Market Trends, and Community Happenings

    Virginia Beach Update: Park Plans, Job Market Trends, and Community Happenings
    Dec 9 2024
    Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for December 9, 2024. We're starting off the week with some exciting developments in our city.

    First off, let's talk about the future of Rudee Loop at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. This nearly 8-acre section is one step closer to becoming a public park. City council has chosen a design team to move forward with proposals, and over 4,000 people participated in a public online survey about what they want to see in the area. The majority, 71%, want green space, and 83% said they don't want a hotel. City leaders are asking for the public's opinion, and there are several public engagement opportunities this week, including tonight at Kempsville High School from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

    In job market news, Virginia Beach continues to exhibit stability. According to the latest report, January 2024 saw steady hiring amidst national fluctuations. The unemployment rate remains low, showcasing a competitive market. Certain industries experienced slower growth compared to previous months, but overall, the outlook is cautiously optimistic. If you're looking for a job, now might be a good time to explore opportunities in growing sectors.

    Moving on to real estate, we don't have any major updates on notable property sales or new development projects this week. However, it's always a good idea to keep an eye on local listings and construction updates to stay informed about changes in our community.

    From city hall, Councilmember Wooten is hosting a District 7 community meeting on December 12 to update residents on current city projects and issues. Topics of discussion include safety, Level Green Park, and the Hampton Roads Recovery Center. Residents will also get an update on a D7 recreation center and ShotSpotter, and have an opportunity to ask questions.

    In other news, the Virginia Beach Police Department is reminding pedestrians to be careful after a deadly crash on Indian River Road. The department is also investigating a shooting near Tallwood Elementary that left one person in critical condition.

    On a more positive note, local bakeries are finding success after COVID, and the 28th Mayflower Marathon raised Thanksgiving donations across the region. The Virginia Beach Convention Center area is also getting a makeover, with city leaders looking at designs for the future of the area.

    In sports news, the Green Run High School basketball team is dominating the Beach District, but Salem High School is looking to change that. And in community news, the JCOC's Giving Tuesday effort is providing food and Christmas gifts to people in need.

    Finally, let's take a look at the weather. Today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of 52 degrees. We're not expecting any significant weather impacts on today's activities and events.

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