Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for January 10, 2025.
We're starting with some breaking news from the past few days. A devastating fire destroyed two businesses on the east side, claiming the lives of one dog and five puppies. Our hearts go out to the affected families and businesses.
Moving on to the job market, it's a great time to be in tech in Indianapolis. The sector is booming, with over 121,600 tech jobs available as of 2023. Median tech salaries exceed $104,000, driven by companies like Salesforce creating over 1,500 new positions. Key skills in demand include Python, SQL, and JavaScript. AI engineers and software developers are particularly sought after, earning around $130,000 to $142,565 annually.
In other business news, Gallery Pastry Shop has announced the closure of its final location in Indianapolis. On a more positive note, the city's tech growth is expected to continue, fueled by initiatives like Mission41K and extensive investments by major tech firms.
Now, let's talk about the weather. A prolonged period of below-freezing temperatures has settled in, affecting 911 response times in Indianapolis. The Indy DPW has a plan in action to tackle snowy residential roads, so be sure to check their updates for the latest information.
In real estate, there haven't been any major announcements in the past few days, but we're keeping an eye on new development projects and construction updates.
From city hall, there have been discussions about improving public safety and addressing homelessness. The Citizens' Police Complaint Board recently reviewed cases against Indianapolis Metropolitan Police officers, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability.
Looking ahead to the weekend, there are several community events worth mentioning. The "Black Panther" costumes exhibit is coming to town, along with plays about Indiana Avenue and a frank talk about periods and politics. Don't miss out on these and other exciting events.
In local school news, Ivy Tech's auto students are gaining valuable skills in electric and hybrid car repair, filling a growing demand in the industry. And in sports, we're proud of our local teams, though we don't have any specific results to share today.
On a feel-good note, a recent homeless benefit concert at Duke's Indy raised $2,000, and there are plans for more shows in 2025. It's heartening to see our community come together to support those in need.
Finally, in today's crime report, there have been no major incidents in the past 24 hours, but we urge everyone to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
This has been Indianapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
