  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for January 6, 2025. We're starting the week with a mix of news and updates from around our city.

    First off, let's talk about the job market. The latest numbers show that Columbus' unemployment rate is at 3.30%, which is lower than the long-term average of 4.68%[3]. This is a positive sign for our local economy, indicating steady growth and job creation.

    In other news, Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Anthem have agreed to a new contract, which is a significant development for healthcare in our area[2]. Additionally, local residents are gearing up for the Rose Bowl, with many fans heading from Columbus to Pasadena to support Ohio State.

    On the real estate front, we don't have any major updates today, but we'll keep an eye on any significant property sales or new development projects in the coming days.

    From City Hall, there are ongoing discussions about the future of several local schools, with five schools facing potential closure. The Columbus City Schools security team is also looking for solutions after finding eight guns in schools since September[2].

    Weather-wise, it's going to be a chilly day today, with temperatures dropping significantly by evening. Make sure to bundle up if you're planning on being outdoors.

    In terms of new business activity, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today. However, we do have some community events coming up, including New Year's events around Central Ohio[2].

    On the sports front, Ohio State coaches and players are preparing for the Rose Bowl, and we're excited to see how our local teams perform.

    In a feel-good community story, two friends were recently connected forever after a successful kidney transplant, a heartwarming reminder of the kindness and generosity in our community[2].

    Finally, in our crime report, there have been several incidents in the past 24 hours, including a pedestrian injured in a hit-and-run on East Broad Street and another pedestrian who tragically died after a hit-and-run on Sullivant Avenue[2]. Our thoughts are with the families affected by these incidents.

    This has been Columbus Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
