Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Thursday, July 10th. We hope your day is off to a great start. We begin with a big development at City Hall that’s likely to impact how we vote for years to come. A federal judge ruled this week that Virginia Beach misled residents regarding changes to our local voting system. The city was supposed to move forward with a 10-district model, but the court found we didn’t follow through as promised. Now, residents will see a referendum this November, deciding between the 10-1 district system or an alternative 7-3-1 model. This decision will shape how we choose city council and school board members well into the future.

Shifting over to our community’s weather, we’re bracing for another steamy day. Expect highs near 88, but with humidity, it’ll feel close to 100 degrees. Southern winds are bringing in moisture and that means another round of afternoon and evening thunderstorms is likely. These storms can dump a lot of rain quickly and localized flooding is possible, so any outdoor plans may need a backup. And looking ahead, we’re in for several days of similar weather, so keep the umbrellas handy.

In city projects, the Virginia Beach City Council just approved three point two million dollars to renovate the Virginia Aquarium. That means upgrades to popular exhibits and, hopefully, an even better visitor experience for families and school groups. Over in city services, families living in military housing are voicing concerns this morning, reporting ongoing pest infestations and frequent AC and power outages. City and military officials say they’re working on solutions, but for now, those families are still looking for relief.

The job market remains strong with several hundred openings listed for healthcare, hospitality, and seasonal beach roles. Real estate is active too—last week, over 120 homes went under contract. Inventory is tight especially near the oceanfront and Princess Anne, so sellers have the advantage.

Summer sports are in full swing. Today marks the kickoff of the Junior Nexus Championship at the Virginia Beach Regional Training Center, one of the biggest field hockey events of the summer. Through July 20th, we’ll host hundreds of young athletes from all over the country. Beach sports fans can also look forward to the Summer Bash at the Beach tournament later this month, with games starting early to avoid the heat.

For family fun tonight, 29th Street will light up with the Beach Blanket Cinema showing Inside Out 2 right on the sand. It’s free and starts after sunset, so pack your chairs and snacks for a movie night under the stars.

On the education front, Kempsville High’s robotics team just brought home a regional trophy—another proud moment for our local schools.

Turning to public safety, no major incidents were reported overnight, but police remind everyone to look out for flash flooding on neighborhood roads, especially near Lynnhaven Parkway and Great Neck during heavy storms.

Before we go, here’s a feel-good story from Red Mill Commons. A group of local teens spent their afternoon handing out cold water and sunscreen to beachgoers yesterday, just wanting to spread kindness and keep our community safe.
