Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for January 10, 2025. We're starting off the day with some breaking news and major developments from the last few days in our city.
First off, let's talk about the weather. Central Ohio is bracing for some harsh winter weather, with a winter storm warning in effect. This means we can expect significant snowfall and freezing temperatures, so make sure to bundle up and plan your day accordingly. We'll keep you updated on any school closures and delays throughout the day.
In local news, a suspect in the Gaudreau brothers' deaths has pleaded not guilty. This case has been making headlines for weeks, and we'll continue to follow it closely. Additionally, police are investigating the death of a child near the Franklinton area. Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones affected by this tragedy.
Now, let's take a look at the job market. According to recent reports, Columbus's tech job market is thriving, with a 22% increase in job opportunities. Companies like JPMorgan Chase and Accenture are hiring, offering salaries up to $315,000 for roles in AI and cybersecurity. This is great news for anyone looking to break into the tech industry. However, it's worth noting that job growth in metropolitan Columbus lagged behind Ohio and the nation last year, and is expected to slow in 2025 due to a skills shortage.
In real estate news, construction is booming in Central Ohio, driven by projects like Intel's New Albany complex and the data center boom. This sector saw a 5.4% growth in 2024, far outpacing the state and nation. We can expect another 4% growth in construction in 2025.
From city hall, we have some updates on decisions that affect daily life. The city is working to address the skills shortage in key industries, with a focus on training and education programs. This is crucial for ensuring that our workforce has the skills needed to fill in-demand jobs.
In new business activity, McDonald's is offering McValue menu deals in Central Ohio, and we've seen some new openings and closings around the city. Make sure to check out our website for the latest updates on local businesses.
Looking ahead to the next few days, we have some exciting community events coming up. The Columbus Metropolitan Club will be hosting a discussion on the importance of journalism, featuring Signal Ohio CEO Rita McNeil Danish. We also have some local school achievements to celebrate, including the success of the Ohio State football team.
Finally, let's take a look at today's crime report. Police are investigating a string of burglaries in the Grove City area, and we have some public safety alerts to share with you. As always, we urge everyone to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
This has been Columbus Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
