Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Friday, March 28, 2025.
We're starting off with some exciting news from the Oceanfront. The long-awaited beach replenishment project is nearing completion. The Army Corps of Engineers reports that work on the resort area will be finished by Memorial Day weekend, just in time for the summer season. After that, the project will move to Croatan Beach, wrapping up before the Fourth of July.
In city developments, we've learned that ViDARR Inc., a defense technology manufacturer, is investing nearly $2.7 million to open a new facility here in Virginia Beach. This expansion will create 40 new jobs over the next three years, further strengthening our region's position in the defense industry.
Speaking of jobs, the local market is looking up. Several businesses are hiring, including new positions at Town Center and the Oceanfront. If you're in the market for a new career, check out the city's job listings website for the latest opportunities.
On the real estate front, we're seeing continued growth in the Town Center area. The old Bed Bath & Beyond site is preparing for new tenants, with Golf Galaxy confirmed to take over half the space. There's buzz about Trader Joe's potentially occupying the other half, though that remains unconfirmed.
Turning to weather, we're looking at a beautiful spring day ahead. Expect sunny skies with highs around 70 degrees, perfect for outdoor activities. This weekend should be equally pleasant, so it's a great time to explore our parks and beaches.
In sports news, the NHSCA Wrestling High School Nationals kick off today at the Virginia Beach Sports Center. This prestigious event brings together elite wrestlers from across the country, including several local athletes. The competition runs through Sunday, so head over to cheer on our Virginia Beach competitors.
We've got a busy weekend ahead for community events. The annual Cherry Blossom Festival returns to Red Wing Park tomorrow, celebrating the 150 Yoshino cherry trees gifted by our sister city, Miyazaki, Japan. Expect traditional performances, family activities, and delicious cuisine.
In school news, Brandon Middle School is celebrating their teacher being named VBCPS Citywide Teacher of the Year. Congratulations to the winning educator and the entire Brandon Middle School community on this achievement.
On a somber note, Virginia Beach Police are investigating a fatal motorcycle crash that occurred earlier this month on London Bridge Road. Our thoughts are with the family of the victim during this difficult time.
We'll end on a positive note. The Virginia Beach International Incubator has welcomed CASC Ltd, a company from Northern Ireland specializing in renewable energy solutions. They'll be supporting the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project, furthering our city's commitment to green energy.
