"Steady jobs, new projects, and holiday community events in Indy | Indianapolis Local Pulse"
Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Wednesday, December 25, 2024.
We're starting with some breaking news from the past few days. As many of you are enjoying the holiday season, we want to remind you that local news doesn't take a break. Unfortunately, there haven't been any major developments in our city over the past 24 hours, but we do have some updates on ongoing projects and events.
Moving on to today's job market snapshot, we see that Indiana's unemployment rate remains steady. According to the latest data from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, the state's unemployment rate stands at 3.6%, slightly below the national rate of 3.7%[2]. While there are no major hiring announcements to report today, we do have some notable business expansions. For instance, construction on I-465 Northbound is expected to restrict traffic, which might impact your commute.
In real estate news, there are no significant commercial or residential property sales to report today. However, we do have some updates on new development projects. The urbanism project in downtown Indianapolis saw its bollards destroyed within the first week, highlighting the challenges of maintaining public spaces.
From city hall, we have some updates on decisions that affect daily life. A judge has blocked the new law banning PornHub, indicating that legal challenges are still underway. Furthermore, Jake’s Law, which restricts students’ access to mobile devices, went into effect on July 1, impacting local schools.
Weather-wise, today is expected to be quite chilly, with temperatures ranging from 28 degrees in the morning to 38 degrees in the afternoon. We're expecting a clear day, so make sure to check the forecast before planning your outdoor activities.
In new business activity, we have some exciting openings and changes. SparkFishers is returning for another big year, promising a fun-filled event for the community. On the other hand, a semi ended up in a ditch next to I-65, causing a brief disruption in traffic.
Looking ahead to community events, there are several activities planned for the next few days. The Bands of America Grand National Championships are happening, showcasing the talents of local bands. Additionally, Ascension St. Vincent's 8th annual 'Medical Mission at Home' is offering free medical services for those in need, showcasing the community's compassion and care.
In local school achievements, Indiana high school girls basketball scores from November 16 are available, highlighting the competitive spirit of our local teams. Furthermore, IU and head coach Curt Cignetti have agreed to a new 8-year contract, demonstrating the university's commitment to its athletic programs.
On a feel-good note, the memorial to be built in honor of a fallen state trooper is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers.
Finally, in today's crime report, we have some significant incidents to report. A Lebanon mom was arrested after choking her son in a trailer park, and a homicide suspect was arrested after a second unrelated shooting. These incidents remind us of the importance of public safety and the need for community vigilance.
