    2025/01/10
    Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Friday, January 10, 2025.

    We're starting off with some breaking news from the past few days. The winter storm that hit our area has left nearly 40,000 people without power across Kentucky, and multiple warming centers have been opened to help those in need. The city of Lexington declared a snow emergency, and Mayor Gorton urged residents to stay safe and indoors. The Lexington Police Department responded to 30 weather-related traffic incidents on Sunday morning alone[1].

    Moving on to today's job market snapshot, we have some exciting news. The tech industry in Lexington Fayette is booming, with a 4.1% growth rate surpassing the national average. Major companies like Lexmark and IBM are boosting job creation, including 1,200 roles for Cybersecurity Analysts. Salaries in the tech sector range from $75,790 to $129,700, making it an ideal location for tech professionals. The cybersecurity job market is particularly hot, with a projected 33% increase in analyst positions by 2024 and competitive salaries averaging $92,640[2][3].

    In real estate news, we don't have any major updates today, but we'll keep an eye on the market for you.

    From City Hall, we have an update on waste collection. Due to the weather, waste collection scheduled for Tuesday will be picked up today, Friday, January 10. You can find more information on the city's website[4].

    The weather is still impacting our activities today. The winter storm is slowly winding down, but we're expecting a cold day with possible flurries. The Blue Grass Airport has canceled all departures and arrivals, so if you have travel plans, be sure to check with your airline.

    In new business activity, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today. However, we do want to remind you that the Catholic Action Center is requesting sandwich and snack donations ahead of the winter storm.

    Looking ahead to community events, we have a few things happening in the next few days. The University of Kentucky has canceled events for Sunday, but the hospital and clinics remain open. Transylvania University has reopened its dorms early to help students prepare for the winter storm.

    In local school achievements, we have some exciting news from the University of Kentucky. The Wildcats earned a thrilling win over No. 6 Florida in basketball.

    In our feel-good community story, we want to highlight the efforts of the Berea Fire Department, which has been preparing for the winter storm and is ready to help those in need.

    Finally, in today's crime report, we have a few incidents to report. A Kentucky State Police trooper was injured in Hart County during the winter storm, and a London woman has been accused of shooting her boyfriend during an altercation. We also have a report of a two-vehicle crash on Georgetown Road and Kearney Road that injured three people.
