"Delphi Killer Faces 130 Years, Indy Job Market Rebound, Irvington Revitalization, and More Local News"
Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for December 20, 2024.
We start with breaking news from the past few days. An Indiana man convicted in the 2017 killings of two teenage girls who vanished during a winter hike will face up to 130 years in prison when he's sentenced today in Delphi. Richard Allen was found guilty of two counts of murder and two counts of murder while committing or attempting to commit kidnapping[4].
In local job market news, hiring is expected to pick up in the first half of 2024, according to Indy talent solutions firm Robert Half Recruiters & Employment Agency. Reports show that almost 60% of companies plan to add new full-time jobs, and 39% plan to fill vacated jobs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 199,000 in November, and the unemployment rate edged down to 3.7%[2]. Currently, Indiana's unemployment rate stands at 3.6%, with 99,220 open job postings throughout the state as of January 16, 2024[5].
Moving to real estate, there are significant developments in Irvington. The vision for Irvington Plaza's future becomes clearer with rezoning requests, aiming to revitalize the area. Additionally, a new commercial tax district could pay for Post Road improvements, which would enhance local infrastructure[1].
From city hall, we have updates on initiatives that affect daily life. INDOT's worksite speed control pilot program is moving to I-465 and I-69 in January, aiming to improve road safety. Also, Marion County residents can get help with heating bills starting January 1, providing relief during the cold winter months[1].
Weather-wise, the chances of a White Christmas in Indy this year are slim, with temperatures warming up leading to the holiday. However, those looking for snow can head to Koteewi Run Seasonal Slopes in Hamilton County, where man-made snow has been created for snow tubing[3].
In new business activity, WWE Smackdown has been added to Royal Ruble weekend at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, bringing more entertainment to the city. Also, The Isley Brothers will headline the Madam Walker Legacy Fest concert in June 2025, celebrating local heritage[1].
Upcoming community events include the Colts' JuJu Brents hosting the inaugural Brents and Folks Gala, and the NCAA unveiling logos for the 2026 Final Four and championship games in Indianapolis, showcasing the city's sports spirit[1].
In local school achievements, we don't have specific updates today, but we'll keep you informed about any notable achievements or sports results in the coming days.
For a feel-good community story, firefighters surprised a cancer patient at Riley Hospital, spreading joy and hope during the holiday season[1].
In today's crime report, there have been several significant incidents in the past 24 hours. A person was critically injured in a downtown Indianapolis shooting, and a man was killed and a woman critically injured in a shooting on Indy's east side. Additionally, 4 teens were arrested after an IMPD pursuit ended in a crash on Indy's north side[1].
