Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
We're starting off with some breaking news from overnight. A car crashed into a daycare building in east Columbus yesterday evening. Fortunately, the incident occurred after hours, and no injuries were reported. Police are investigating the cause of the crash.
In weather news, we're looking at a mild day ahead with scattered showers. Temperatures will reach a high of 58 degrees, so don't forget your umbrella if you're heading out. The weekend is expected to be cooler, so plan accordingly.
Over at City Hall, the Columbus City Council approved a significant investment in workforce development last night. The multi-million dollar initiative aims to boost job training programs and attract new businesses to the area. Speaking of jobs, the tech sector in Columbus continues to boom. Recent reports show a 22% growth in tech jobs since 2023, with software engineering positions leading the way. The average tech salary in the city now stands at around $130,000.
In real estate news, rent prices in Columbus are on the rise according to a new survey. Despite the increase, our city remains more affordable compared to traditional tech hubs, which is attracting talent from across the country.
Exciting news for sports fans - the Arnold Sports Festival kicks off today at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. This annual event brings together athletes and fitness enthusiasts from around the world.
In education news, Ohio State University is hosting a men's mental health expo aimed at breaking stigmas and fostering open conversations. This event highlights the growing focus on mental health awareness in our community.
For those interested in local history, we have an update on the old Spaghetti Warehouse building. While the structure is being demolished, we're happy to report that the historic trolley inside has been saved.
In community news, the Columbus Zoo has expanded its Quiet Hours program, offering more sensory-friendly visit options for guests who may need a calmer environment.
Now for our daily crime report. Columbus Police are investigating a shooting that occurred in North Columbus on Sunday evening, leaving one person injured. Authorities are still searching for suspects and ask anyone with information to come forward.
On a lighter note, a 12-year-old boy from nearby Perrysburg is being honored for his quick action in preventing a house fire. It's always inspiring to see young members of our community making a difference.
Looking ahead to upcoming events, don't miss the Columbus Job Fair - North, happening next Wednesday at Polaris Fashion Place. Over 20 companies will be in attendance, offering opportunities across various sectors.
This has been Columbus Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
