Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Friday, November 22, 2024.

We're starting with breaking news from our city. A woman wanted by the Columbus Division of Police was arrested in Toledo, a year and a half after a man was found shot and killed in north Columbus. This arrest brings closure to a long-standing case and highlights the dedication of our law enforcement agencies[1].

In other news, the Columbus Blue Jackets made a trade move by sending Alexandre Texier to the St. Louis Blues for a future fourth-round draft pick. This move is part of the team's strategy to strengthen their lineup ahead of the NHL Draft in Las Vegas[1].

Moving on to our job market snapshot, there are no major hiring announcements or new job postings from top local employers to report today. However, construction on the $2 billion John Glenn International Airport terminal is moving forward, with funding for multiple million-dollar contracts awarded. This project is expected to create numerous job opportunities in the construction sector[1].

In real estate news, a national cookie chain has opened its first Ohio storefront in the Columbus area, specifically in Lewis Center. This new business is part of the growing retail landscape in our city[1].

From city hall, we have updates on decisions that affect daily life. The Columbus City Council is considering the first electric rate hike for most customers in 10 years. This potential change could impact household budgets and energy consumption[2].

Weather-wise, high pressure will slide off to the east, providing sunshine and a light southeast breeze that will begin a warming trend. Afternoon temperatures will climb back into the mid- to upper 80s, with some high clouds. This means it's a great weekend to get out and enjoy outdoor activities in central Ohio[1][4].

Speaking of activities, there are several community events happening this weekend. Following last weekend's mass shooting in the Short North, local faith-based and community leaders are teaming up for a walk around the Short North from midnight until 2 a.m. to promote peace and safety[1].

In local school achievements, Ohio State women's hockey handed Wisconsin their first loss of the season, showcasing the talent and dedication of our local athletes[2].

On a feel-good note, a community group in Columbus is working to reach young people in the Short North area, emphasizing the importance of community engagement and support[1].

In today's crime report, a man was arrested in connection to the murder of a 13-year-old boy in northeast Columbus. This arrest underscores the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to address violence in our community[1]. Additionally, a former wrestling coach for a Columbus Catholic school appeared in court after being charged with sex crimes against a child[1].
