Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 1, 2025.
We're kicking off the month with some exciting developments in our city. The highly anticipated Atlantic Park and The Dome are set to open this spring, bringing year-round surfing and entertainment to the Oceanfront. This $2.3 billion project is expected to boost our local economy and tourism industry.
In city news, the Virginia Beach City Council has decided to indefinitely defer action on the Something in the Water festival contract breach. While the festival won't be happening this month as originally planned, Mayor Bobby Dyer remains optimistic about future opportunities to work with the SITW team.
Speaking of events, the 36th Annual High School Nationals wrestling tournament is wrapping up today at the Virginia Beach Sports Center. It's been an exciting few days of competition, bringing young athletes from across the country to our city.
On the business front, we're seeing some new additions to our local scene. The 2D Cafe & Eatery has recently opened, offering a unique two-dimensional design that's perfect for those Instagram-worthy food photos. Victoria's Pizza is also shaking things up with their focus on homegrown, organic ingredients.
For those looking to enjoy some outdoor activities today, keep in mind that the free parking period at the Oceanfront has ended. Daily rates are now in effect, so be sure to budget for parking if you're heading to the beach.
In real estate news, the median home price in Virginia Beach has seen a slight increase over the past month, now hovering around $375,000. The job market remains steady, with several new positions opening up in the hospitality sector as we gear up for the summer season.
Our local schools continue to shine. Virginia Beach City Public Schools recently celebrated their diverse history, highlighting achievements like Creeds Elementary's 2008 Governor's School of Excellence Award.
Looking ahead, the Virginia Beach Department of Economic Development is hosting several virtual training sessions this month for small business owners. Topics range from federal proposal writing to digital marketing strategies.
In public safety news, the Virginia Beach Fire Marshal's Office will be conducting pyrotechnics training at Mount Trashmore today. Residents in the area should not be alarmed if they hear or see any unusual activity.
On a lighter note, Coastal Seaplanes is now offering scenic flights above the Chesapeake Bay. It's a unique way to see our beautiful coastline from a new perspective.
As for today's weather, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with a high of 68°F. It's a perfect day to explore some of our local parks or take a stroll along the boardwalk.
This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
