Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for January 6, 2025. We're starting the week off with some exciting news about our city's thriving tech scene. Virginia Beach is emerging as a major tech hub, with high-demand roles like Software Engineers and Data Engineers leading the way. These jobs are not only in high demand but also offer impressive salaries, reaching up to $198,000 and $191,000, respectively[1].
The tech boom is driven by key sectors such as Software Development, Cybersecurity, and Data Science, with growth rates of 28%, 20%, and 22%, respectively. Companies like Amazon are investing heavily in the area, creating over 1,000 new tech jobs with their robotics fulfillment center. This growth is expected to continue, with a projected 25% increase in tech jobs by 2031[1].
In related news, the cybersecurity job market in Virginia Beach is also booming, with a 31.5% growth projected through 2026. Entry-level salaries start at around $78,753, and 68% of local businesses plan to invest in cybersecurity solutions. Major employers like Booz Allen Hamilton and Lockheed Martin are actively seeking talent[4].
Moving on to city hall updates, the City Council has a busy schedule ahead, with several meetings and briefings planned for the next few weeks. On January 14, 2025, there will be a workshop featuring an update on Innovation Park, among other topics[2].
In real estate news, while we don't have specific updates on notable property sales or new development projects today, it's worth noting that the tech boom is likely to have a positive impact on the local real estate market.
Looking at the weather, today is expected to be mostly sunny, making it a great day to get out and enjoy some of the city's outdoor activities.
On the business front, we're seeing a lot of activity, with companies like Doma Technologies investing $3.7 million and creating over 300 new tech jobs[1].
For upcoming community events, be sure to check out the city's calendar for the latest updates.
In local school news, we don't have any specific achievements or sports results to share today, but we're always proud of our local students and athletes.
For a feel-good community story, we're highlighting the innovative companies in Virginia Beach that are making a difference. Companies like IPConfigure and Ferguson Enterprises are expanding their operations and bringing cutting-edge projects in cloud computing and AI to the area[1].
Finally, in today's crime report, we don't have any significant incidents or public safety alerts to share from the past 24 hours. We're always committed to keeping our community safe and informed.
This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
