Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for January 8, 2025. We're starting the day off with a look at what's happening in our city.
First, let's talk about the local job market. According to recent data, the Pittsburgh labor force is at approximately 1.177 million, down slightly from last month and last year. However, there are still plenty of job opportunities available. Indeed.com lists over 75 jobs in the Pittsburgh area, including positions at Westinghouse Electric Company, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, and Saltworks Theatre Company. These opportunities span various sectors, offering something for everyone.
In real estate news, we have some exciting developments. Grandview Heights, a development of luxury townhouses, is currently under construction on Grandview Avenue in Pittsburgh's Mt. Washington neighborhood. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a brand-new home with a grand view. It's a significant addition to our city's housing market, offering high-end living options.
Moving on to city hall, the board is expected to vote on a new Allegheny County Jail warden soon. This decision will have a significant impact on daily life in our community, and we'll be keeping a close eye on it.
Weather-wise, we're expecting a relatively calm day today, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-30s. However, we do want to remind everyone to be cautious on the roads, as there may be some residual ice from last week's snowstorm.
In business news, we've seen some changes in the fast food and retail scene in the Greensburg and Hempfield areas. New restaurants and shops are opening up, offering more options for locals and visitors alike.
Looking ahead to the next few days, we have some exciting community events lined up. First Night Pittsburgh may be over, but there are still plenty of activities to enjoy. The ice maze at Highmark First Night Pittsburgh is still open, and we encourage everyone to check it out.
In local sports news, the Southmoreland Scotties are off to a strong start in the WPIAL boys basketball season. They're currently 2-0 in their section and 9-2 overall, and we're looking forward to seeing how they do in their upcoming games.
On a more serious note, we do want to mention a recent incident in Monroeville. A mall incident highlighted the importance of verifying information before sharing it, and we encourage everyone to be mindful of this.
In crime news, we've had a few significant incidents in the past 24 hours. A SWAT incident in New Kensington resulted in the arrest of a man wanted for assault in Pittsburgh, and we're grateful that the situation was resolved safely.
Finally, we want to share a feel-good community story. Big Brothers Big Sisters recently honored strong bonds formed by mentors and youths, and it's a great reminder of the positive impact that these organizations can have on our community.
This has been Pittsburgh Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
