Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Friday, January 10, 2025.
We're starting off with some breaking news from the past few days. On Sunday, January 5, officers from the Albuquerque Police Department arrested Zeyad Mohammad, 26, for shooting a man in an alley. This incident highlights the ongoing efforts by APD to address gun violence in our city[1].
Moving on to the job market, Albuquerque is seeing a significant boom in the tech sector. Major players like Intel and Amazon are actively recruiting, with over 1,400 tech job openings available. The average tech salary in Albuquerque is around $128,883, with roles in AI, software development, and data science being particularly in demand. Intel's recent $3.5 billion investment in their Rio Rancho facility is expected to create 700 new jobs, further boosting the local economy[2].
In real estate news, the iconic 'Breaking Bad' house is up for sale for $4 million. This unique property has garnered significant attention and could be a notable sale in our local market[4].
At City Hall, the council met on January 6 to discuss various initiatives, including the Downtown Vacant Premises Ordinance aimed at activating vacant buildings to benefit economic development in the downtown core. They also addressed the need for more efficient and transparent housing voucher programs[3].
Weather-wise, we're expecting a windy and warm weekend before a cooldown. Today, temperatures will be mild, making it a great day to get outdoors and enjoy our city's parks and trails[4].
In new business activity, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today, but we're always on the lookout for updates on our local business scene.
Looking ahead to community events, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Albuquerque District is hosting midwinter eagle surveys at several lakes, including Abiquiu and Cochiti lakes. These free events are open to the public and offer a great opportunity to participate in wildlife conservation efforts[5].
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 Al’burrr’querque Polar Plunge is coming up to support a fund created in memory of a lifeguard. This event is a great way to engage with our community and support a worthy cause[4].
In today's crime report, we have a few incidents to mention. A person was struck and killed by a train in Gallup, and there was a reported bomb threat that closed several streets and businesses in northeast Albuquerque. APD is also searching for a suspect who rammed a police vehicle during a traffic stop[1][4].
This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
