Tucson Local Pulse: Football rebuild, data center tensions, voter registration mix-up, downtown murals, and community events


Listen Later

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Thursday, November twenty-seventh.

We're starting this morning with some exciting news from the University of Arizona football program. New coordinators are fueling what's being called a stunning rebuild for Arizona's twenty twenty-five football season. The coaching changes appear to be making a real difference on the field as the team heads into the final stretch of the year.

Over at City Hall, we're watching several developments that matter to our community. Project Blue continues to be a hot topic. City officials and developers held a meeting this week to discuss the planned data center complex, addressing concerns from residents about whether it will truly be water positive and what it means for our electric rates. There's still tension around non-disclosure agreements keeping some details from the public, so that conversation is far from over.

In voter registration news, the Pima County Recorder's Office identified a mix-up that resulted in as many as twelve hundred ninety-four incorrect ballots being mailed to voters for the August fifth city of Tucson primary election. Elections officials are working to address the issue and ensure accuracy going forward.

We also want to highlight something positive happening downtown. Four new murals created by local artists have been added to celebrate Tucson's two hundred fiftieth anniversary as a city. It's a beautiful way our community is marking this milestone, and if you haven't seen them yet, they're definitely worth checking out.

On the public safety front, there was a large police response near Tucson after a fight broke out in the area. Officers responded quickly to the scene, and we'll continue monitoring the situation for any updates.

Shifting gears to the job market and economy, we're keeping our eyes on some shifting workforce dynamics at the federal level. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is planning to move employees from the Washington D.C. area to five regional hubs, which could have ripple effects on how federal services operate in our region.

Looking ahead at community events, the IMPACT Tucson Resource Fair is coming this Saturday at Palo Verde Magnet High School. They're offering free school supplies including backpacks, and TUSD staff will be on hand to answer enrollment questions. It's a great opportunity if you're looking to help students in our community get ready for success.

As we head into the afternoon, we're watching temperatures and conditions. Make sure to check local forecasts before heading out, especially if you have outdoor plans.
