  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Monday, January 6, 2025. We're starting the week with some significant news from our city. Just a few days ago, Minneapolis reached a tentative deal with the Department of Justice on a consent decree aimed at reforming the police department's use of force, following the police murder of George Floyd[4]. This development marks a crucial step towards addressing community concerns and improving public safety.

    Moving on to the job market, we've seen a mixed picture recently. While Minnesota gained about 33,000 payroll jobs this year, an increase of 1.1%, the growth rate lags behind the national increase of 1.5%. In October, the state lost jobs in areas such as professional and business services and construction, but hourly wages have seen a slight increase over the year, outpacing inflation[5].

    In real estate news, there are no major commercial or residential property sales to report today, but we're keeping an eye on new development projects and construction updates. For those interested in buying or selling homes, weekly median home prices and inventory levels remain steady, though specific numbers are not available at this time.

    At city hall, today marks an important day for discussions on common interest communities and homeowners associations. The Working Group on Common Interest Communities and Homeowners Associations is holding a remote hearing, featuring presentations and public testimony[1].

    Weather-wise, it's a chilly start to the week, but we're expecting a relatively calm day ahead. No severe weather alerts have been issued, so it's a good day to get out and enjoy the city.

    In new business activity, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today, but we're always on the lookout for changes in our local business landscape.

    Looking ahead to community events, there are several activities planned for the next few days, including cultural festivals and community gatherings. We'll provide more details as these events approach.

    On the local school front, we're proud to see our students achieving in various fields, from academics to sports. We'll highlight some of these achievements in our upcoming broadcasts.

    For today's crime report, there have been no significant incidents or public safety alerts in the past 24 hours. We're grateful for the continued efforts of our law enforcement agencies in keeping our community safe.

    Finally, on a lighter note, for music lovers, a new countdown series is starting today, featuring the top 40 songs by The Tragically Hip as voted by fans[3].

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