サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Tuesday, March 18, 2025.
We're starting with some sobering news today. A 7-year-old boy tragically died after falling out of a moving vehicle in north Columbus on Sunday afternoon. The incident occurred at the intersection of East 5th Avenue and St. Clair Avenue. Our hearts go out to the family during this difficult time.
In city news, the Columbus City Council has approved a new shared mobility program, introducing a fresh fleet of scooters and bikes to our streets. This initiative aims to enhance transportation options for residents and visitors alike. Keep an eye out for these new additions as you move around the city.
On the job front, economists are predicting a slowdown in job creation for central Ohio this year. Bill LaFayette, owner of Regionomics, forecasts just 4,400 new jobs for the area in 2025, a mere 0.4% increase. This comes as Ohio's unemployment rate ticked up to 4.6% in January, widening the gap with the national average of 4%.
In real estate, the housing market remains competitive. Local realtors report that homes in desirable neighborhoods like German Village and Clintonville are still selling quickly, often above asking price. However, rising interest rates are starting to impact affordability for some buyers.
Turning to weather, we're in for a beautiful day with temperatures reaching the mid-70s. It's perfect weather for outdoor activities, but enjoy it while you can. There's a chance of severe storms moving in on Saturday, so plan your weekend accordingly.
In business news, we're excited to share that a new craft brewery, Buckeye Brews, is set to open its doors this weekend in the Short North. They'll be featuring a lineup of locally-inspired beers, including a special OSU-themed lager.
Speaking of OSU, the Buckeyes men's basketball team is gearing up for their first game in the Big Ten Tournament tomorrow. They'll be facing Iowa in what's likely a must-win situation to keep their NCAA tournament hopes alive.
Looking ahead to community events, don't forget about the annual Dublin Irish Festival kicking off this Friday. It's a great opportunity to celebrate St. Patrick's Day a little late with music, dance, and plenty of green beer.
In education news, congratulations to the robotics team from Columbus Alternative High School. They've qualified for the national championships after an impressive showing at the regional competition last weekend.
Lastly, we want to highlight a heartwarming story from our community. The local chapter of Habitat for Humanity just completed its 500th home in Columbus. The keys were handed over to a deserving family yesterday in a touching ceremony on the east side.
This has been Columbus Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
