KC Local Pulse: Reactions to Golubski's Death, New Jobs, and Holiday Happenings
Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Wednesday, December 4, 2024.
We're starting with some breaking news from the past few days. Community members are reacting to the death of Roger Golubski, with many expressing relief and calling him a coward due to his controversial past[2]. In other news, a man was charged in connection to the death of a victim found dead inside a vehicle, and police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident[2].
Moving on to the job market, we have some positive news. Platte City recently approved a project that will generate around 245 new jobs, which is a significant boost to the local economy[2]. Additionally, major employers in the area are continuing to post new job openings, indicating a strong demand for labor.
In real estate, we're seeing some notable developments. A $362 million project is underway to build 600 new apartments in the downtown area, which will not only provide more housing options but also contribute to the city's growth[3]. Weekly median home prices are holding steady, and inventory levels are manageable, making it a good time for both buyers and sellers.
From city hall, we have an update on a recent decision that affects daily life. A Missouri judge upheld the law requiring voters to show photo ID to cast a regular ballot, which has sparked some controversy among residents[2].
Weather-wise, we're expecting a calm day today, which is perfect for those planning to travel or attend outdoor events. However, we're reminding everyone to be cautious on the roads, especially with the holiday travel period in full swing[2].
In business news, we have some exciting openings and changes. Betty Rae's Ice Cream is opening its fifth location in the KC area, and Hooters has closed several underperforming locations[3]. Additionally, a major cyberattack hit several car dealers in the Kansas City area, highlighting the importance of cybersecurity.
Looking ahead to community events, we have a few notable happenings in the next few days. The Christmas in the Sky stage show has been canceled, but the fireworks display will still go on as planned[2]. Also, Shelter KC is providing Thanksgiving meals to the homeless throughout the week, and over 800 people received donations in the Ivanhoe Neighborhood[2].
In local school achievements, we're proud to mention that a Shawnee dad and daughter have bonded over their unique business venture, Fantastical Droppings, a poop-inspired candy company[2]. And in sports, Sporting KC is in great form after a win against Austin FC[3].
For our feel-good community story, we're highlighting the efforts of Troopers from both Kansas and Missouri, who are hosting a holiday toy drive to bring joy to those in need[2].
Finally, in today's crime report, we have a few incidents to mention. Police are investigating a shooting near Southwest Boulevard, and a man was stabbed Tuesday night in Overland Park[2][3]. We urge everyone to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
