Intel Delay, Job Slowdown, OSU Controversy, and a Buckeyes Win - Columbus Local Pulse March 1, 2025

サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for March 1, 2025. We're kicking off the weekend with some big news from Intel. The tech giant has once again pushed back the opening of its semiconductor plant in New Albany. The first factory is now expected to be completed in 2030, with operations beginning between then and 2031. This delay is disappointing for many in central Ohio who were hoping for an economic boost, but state officials remain confident in the project's long-term potential.
In other business news, we're seeing a slowdown in job growth across Columbus. Economic forecasts predict a challenging year ahead, with skilled worker shortages hampering expansion in some sectors. However, it's not all doom and gloom. The tech industry continues to thrive, with software engineering positions leading the way. Over 2,000 job postings are currently available in this field, offering salaries up to $315,000 for top roles.
Speaking of tech, Ohio State University is facing some controversy. Students have been protesting the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion offices and changes to scholarships. The university administration says these moves are part of a broader restructuring effort, but many students feel their voices aren't being heard.
On a lighter note, Cedar Point is gearing up for its 2025 season. The amusement park is set to reveal some exciting secrets at its Winter Chill Out event today. Rumor has it there might be a new roller coaster in the works, but we'll have to wait and see.
In weather news, we're looking at a mix of sun and clouds today with a high near 55. It's a perfect day to get out and enjoy the Arnold Sports Festival, which kicked off yesterday at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. The event runs through Sunday and features competitions in everything from bodybuilding to chess.
For sports fans, the Buckeyes basketball team had a nail-biter last night. They managed to hold off USC with a final score of 87-82. Parrish and Thornton led a balanced attack that kept the crowd on their feet until the final buzzer.
In community news, the old Spaghetti Warehouse building downtown is being demolished, but don't worry, history buffs. The iconic trolley inside has been saved and will find a new home.
On the crime front, TSA agents at John Glenn International Airport have been busy. They intercepted two handguns in just the past two days. As always, we remind travelers to double-check their bags before heading to the airport.
Finally, we want to give a shout-out to a young hero from Perrysburg. A 12-year-old boy is being honored for his quick thinking that prevented a house fire. It's stories like these that remind us of the everyday heroes in our community.
This has been Columbus Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
