Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Friday, March 28, 2025.
We're starting with some breaking news from the education sector. The U.S. Department of Education is set to be dismantled, and Ohio is bracing for the impact. This move, signed by President Trump, has raised concerns about how it will affect our local schools and universities. We'll be keeping a close eye on this developing story and its implications for Columbus.
In local politics, former Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton has officially launched her gubernatorial campaign. Acton, known for her leadership during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, is emphasizing unity and building on past achievements as she enters the race.
On the business front, DHL has announced a new store opening in Reynoldsburg, expanding its retail presence in the area. This could mean new job opportunities for locals. Speaking of jobs, we're seeing a trend of salaries under $40,000 becoming more viable for apartment rentals in Columbus, potentially easing some of the housing pressure in our city.
In sports news, the Ohio State women's basketball team is gearing up for their NCAA Tournament opener against Montana State. Buckeye fans, mark your calendars and show your support! Meanwhile, the Columbus Blue Jackets have activated two players ahead of a crucial matchup against the Islanders. Let's hope this gives them the edge they need.
Turning to weather, we're looking at mild temperatures for the next few days. It's a great time to get out and enjoy some of the upcoming community events. The Girls on the Run of Central Ohio is kicking off its 15th season, promoting health and empowerment for young girls in our community.
In a bit of quirky news, OSU students have developed a new app called Duodate, which aims to redefine dating with friend-paired double dates. It's an interesting take on modern romance, and we're curious to see how it catches on in Columbus.
On a more serious note, Ohio has detected its first measles case of 2025. Health officials are urging residents to ensure their vaccinations are up to date. Public safety remains a priority, and we've learned that Columbus City Schools' security team is seeking solutions after the eighth gun was found in a school since September.
In development news, Hilliard City Council has moved forward with a controversial development plan after a contentious meeting. Residents have been rallying against the proposed changes, highlighting the ongoing debate between growth and community preservation.
Lastly, we want to share a heartwarming story. The Hilliard community is honoring a former Buckeye walk-on and Vietnam War hero through a new award. It's a beautiful tribute that reminds us of the strength and spirit of our community.
This has been Columbus Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
