Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Sunday, January 12, 2025. We're starting off the day with a look at the weekend's top events and how the weather impacted our plans. The Charlotte Symphony Orchestra had to cancel their Friday night concert due to the state of emergency and wintry weather conditions, but fortunately, their Saturday and Sunday performances at the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art are proceeding as scheduled[4].
In job market news, we're seeing a surge in hiring announcements, particularly in the tech sector. Indeed.com lists over 980 job openings in Charlotte, with major employers like Bank of America and Red Ventures leading the charge. Notable job postings include CDL-A Truck Drivers, Clinical Medical Assistants, and Network Engineers. The cybersecurity job market is especially hot, with roles like Cloud Security Architects and Penetration Testers offering competitive salaries[2][5].
Moving on to real estate, we don't have any major updates on commercial or residential property sales, but we do know that the city's tech ecosystem is driving growth in the housing market. Weekly median home prices and inventory levels remain steady, but we'll keep an eye on any significant zoning changes or property developments.
From city hall, we're watching for decisions that affect our daily lives. While there haven't been any major announcements recently, we're always on the lookout for updates on public transportation, infrastructure projects, and community initiatives.
The weather has certainly had an impact on our weekend plans, but we're expecting a clearer day today. If you're planning on attending any outdoor events, like the Bloomstitching Workshop at PlantHouse or the State of Confusion Igloos, be sure to bundle up.
In new business activity, we're seeing a mix of openings and closings. The Asbury is hosting an in-person Hamilton-themed pre-show dinner menu, and The Comedy Zone is featuring Hot Chocolate & Jokes tonight. On the other hand, we haven't heard of any major business closures recently.
Looking ahead to the next few days, we have a range of community events to choose from. The Schiele Museum of Natural History is hosting The Sky Tonight, and the Lake Norman YMCA is hosting the Lake Norman Chilly Plunge. Be sure to check out the top events happening around the Charlotte area this weekend[1].
In local school achievements, we're proud to see our students excelling in various fields. While we don't have any specific updates today, we're always on the lookout for stories of academic and athletic success.
On a feel-good note, we're excited to see the planning underway for CharlOz, a four-day festival celebrating the Wizard of Oz. UNC Charlotte experts are working hard to bring this event to life, with support from the North Carolina Humanities[3].
Finally, in today's crime report, we don't have any significant incidents or public safety alerts to share. We're always committed to keeping our community informed and safe.
This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
