Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Friday, November 22, 2024.
We're starting with some breaking news from the past few days. A Virginia Beach police officer shot and killed a man near Town Center, sparking an investigation into the incident[1]. Additionally, two suspects charged in the shooting of Landyn Davis appeared in court, a case that has been closely followed by the community[1].
Moving on to the job market, we don't have any major hiring announcements or new job postings from top local employers to report today. However, it's worth noting that the city has seen a steady growth in employment opportunities, particularly in the retail and hospitality sectors.
In real estate news, there have been some notable commercial property sales, including the upcoming opening of a new Publix in Red Mill this December[1]. On the residential front, weekly median home prices have remained stable, with inventory levels showing a slight decrease. There have been no significant zoning changes or property developments announced recently.
From city hall, the Virginia Beach City Council voted to halt the 10-1 voting system for 2025, a decision that has sparked debate among residents and local leaders[1]. The city also brought on a new operator for the Virginia Beach Sports Center, which is expected to enhance sports facilities and programs for the community[1].
Weather-wise, we're expecting showers today, with cooler and windy conditions to end the week. This might impact outdoor activities and events, so be sure to check the forecast before heading out.
In new business activity, we have the opening of the Asian-themed iNoodle restaurant and Frytopia, adding to the diverse dining options in Virginia Beach[5]. On the other hand, there have been no major business closures reported recently.
Looking ahead to community events, the Coastal Virginia Auto Show is happening this weekend at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, featuring celebrity appearances, auto displays, and live entertainment[2]. Additionally, the Winter Wonderland Forest is open at the Chesapeake Conference Center, showcasing holiday trees decorated to mirror different works of literature[2].
In local school news, the Virginia Beach school board voted to consolidate 6th graders to Bayside Middle, a decision aimed at improving educational efficiency and resources[1]. On the sports front, Great Bridge defeated Princess Anne 3-2 in a recent match at Great Bridge High School in Chesapeake[5].
For a feel-good community story, we have the 1000 step challenge completed by community members in honor of a Navy SEAL, highlighting the city's spirit of camaraderie and support[1].
In today's crime report, we have a few incidents to note. A man was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries after an overnight shooting in Portsmouth[3]. In Virginia Beach, a bicyclist died after a crash on Indian River Road, and a contractor was accused of climbing through a window and raping a girl[1].
This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
