Lexington Local Pulse: Carter's Passing, Shooting Investigations, and Community Updates
Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for January 4, 2025.
We start with some breaking news from the past few days. Former President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100, and Governor Andy Beshear has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in his honor[1]. Locally, a man was hit and killed by a vehicle on South Highway 27 in Pulaski County, and neighbors are speaking out after police served a warrant to the wrong home, resulting in a fatal shooting[1].
Moving on to the job market, we don't have any major hiring announcements or new job postings to report today. However, according to recent data, the unemployment rate in Lexington-Fayette, KY (MSA) was 3.40% in January 2022, and we're waiting for the latest updates[2]. The Kentucky Career Center is still accepting applications for Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) for individuals affected by severe storms in May 2024[5].
In real estate news, we don't have any notable commercial or residential property sales to report today. However, a new solar farm has been approved in Fayette County, which is expected to bring in new jobs and revenue[1]. We'll keep an eye on any new development projects or construction updates in the coming weeks.
From city hall, we have some updates on decisions that affect daily life. The Urban County Council has published agendas for upcoming meetings, including a special meeting on fire discipline and a planning commission meeting on subdivision items[4]. We'll keep you updated on any significant zoning changes or property developments.
Weather-wise, today is expected to be mostly cloudy with a break from the rain, but we're expecting more rain throughout the weekend[1]. Make sure to check the forecast before heading out to any events or activities today.
In new business activity, we have some exciting news. A local vape shop is worried about the future due to House Bill 11, but we're also seeing some new businesses opening up in the area[1]. We'll keep an eye on any major changes or closures in the coming weeks.
Upcoming community events include a winter classic hockey tournament, which is expected to bring in fun for young hockey players and help grow the sport[1]. We also have some Christmas tree recycling locations set up to aid aquatic ecosystems[1].
In local school achievements, we don't have any specific news to report today, but we're always proud of our local students and athletes. In sports, the No. 16 Kentucky Wildcats rolled past WKU in a recent game[1].
In a feel-good community story, a local restaurant in Nicholasville gifted a free Christmas buffet to the community, spreading some holiday cheer[1].
Finally, in today's crime report, we have some significant incidents to report. A man was killed in a shooting on Newtown Pike, and police are investigating an officer-involved shooting in Nelson County[1]. We also have reports of a bank robbery on Pasadena Drive, and police are urging residents not to advertise their gifts on social media or leave them on the curb[1].
This has been Lexington Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
