Minneapolis Roundup: Tech Boom, Resort Rebound, Legislative Chaos
Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for January 24, 2025.
We're starting off with some breaking news. The Hennepin County Attorney's Office announced yesterday that it won't be filing charges against any of the Minneapolis police officers involved in the shooting death of Michael Ristow in June 2024. This decision comes after a thorough investigation into the incident.
In other news, the tech job market in Minneapolis is booming. Major companies like Medtronic and startups are thriving, contributing $31 billion to the economy. The city's tech sector comprises 12.4% of state employment, with high demand for software developers and data analysts. These roles are exceeding the national average income, offering up to $180,000 annually for senior positions. Educational reforms and programs are addressing the skills gap, making it prime time for tech careers here[2].
Moving on to real estate, there haven't been any notable commercial or residential property sales in the past few days. However, the series of January cold snaps is helping some Minnesota resorts get back on track, even with below-average snowfall. Business is looking up for these resorts.
From city hall, there's been a significant development in the power dispute playing out in the state House. The Minnesota Supreme Court will hear arguments this week in a case that could mark a step towards resolution. Additionally, a boycott, an alleged coup, and multiple lawsuits are part of the confusion and chaos at the Minnesota legislature.
Weather-wise, after a string of frigid days, temperatures will climb into the upper 20s in the Twin Cities today. This is a welcome change for outdoor activities. Speaking of which, there are several events happening this weekend. The US Pond Hockey Championships are taking place at Lake Nokomis until January 26, and it's free for onlookers. The Great Northern Winter Festival is also happening across various locations in Minneapolis and St. Paul until February 2, offering over 50 events including a Climate Solutions Series and a Sauna Village.
In new business activity, a local business started during the pandemic will soon celebrate two years at a physical location. On the other hand, owners of Revival say their restaurants are permanently closed after nearly a decade in business.
In community events, the Lake Harriet Winter Kite Festival is happening on January 25, offering food trucks, music, and kite flying. The Powderhorn Art Sled Rally is also taking place on January 25, featuring art and sledding in south Minneapolis.
In local school achievements, Dawson Garcia scored 20 points, and Femi Odukale added 18 as Minnesota held off Iowa for a 72-67 victory.
For a feel-good community story, a Minneapolis woman with a knack for pampering people is stepping up amidst a personal care attendant shortage.
In today's crime report, a Twin Cities school worker faces 10 counts of child pornography possession after investigators found hundreds of digital files containing child sexual abuse material. Additionally, three men and a boy were shot while sitting in a vehicle in south Minneapolis on Tuesday night.
