Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Thursday, March 27, 2025.
We're starting with some breaking news from the Oceanfront. The long-awaited Atlantic Park and The Dome complex is finally opening its doors this spring. Backed by our own Pharrell Williams, this development features a 2.6-acre surf lagoon that's set to make waves in our community. It's not just for surfers though - the complex includes The Dome, a new entertainment venue that can host up to 5,000 people for concerts and events.
In other news, the Virginia Beach Police Department is seeking the public's help in locating a missing, endangered woman. They've asked residents to keep an eye out and contact them with any information.
On the real estate front, the market remains competitive with home values up 3% since last year. The median home price in Virginia Beach is now around $400,000. Despite rising prices, homes are still selling quickly, typically going pending in about 32 days.
Job seekers, take note: ViDARR Inc., a defense technology manufacturer, has announced plans to open a new facility in Virginia Beach. They're investing nearly $3 million and creating 40 new jobs over the next three years. It's a boost for our local economy and a sign of Virginia Beach's growing importance in the defense industry.
In city news, the beach replenishment project that began in January is progressing well. Crews are working between 15th and 45th streets, and the project is expected to wrap up by June before moving to Croatan Beach.
We've got a beautiful day ahead of us, with sunny skies and temperatures reaching the mid-70s. It's perfect weather for the Cherry Blossom Festival happening this weekend at Red Wing Park. Don't miss the chance to see the 150 Yoshino cherry trees in full bloom.
In sports, congratulations to the Bayside High School swim team for their recent victory at the regional championships. Go Marlins!
On a somber note, we're remembering Justin Thacker, a local motorcyclist who tragically lost his life following a crash on London Bridge Road earlier this month. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
Lastly, a feel-good story from our community: Local artist Sarah Johnson has been selected to create a mural for the new Atlantic Park development. Her design, which celebrates Virginia Beach's coastal heritage, was chosen from over 100 submissions.
In today's crime report, police are investigating the illegal distribution of marijuana at an undisclosed location in the city. They're urging residents to report any suspicious activity.
This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
