Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Saturday, November 23, 2024.

We're starting with some breaking news from the past few days. Authorities are still searching for four suspects in an attack near Ohio State, and police have identified a man who was fatally shot while trying to stop a suspect from breaking into vehicles[1]. In other news, a Columbus man was found guilty of leading drug and sex trafficking conspiracies[3].

Moving on to the job market, there haven't been any major hiring announcements recently, but New Albany did land a $185 million data center after a tax exemption was approved[2]. This is expected to bring in new jobs and economic growth to the area.

In real estate news, there haven't been any notable commercial or residential property sales in the past few days, but the city is seeing a surge in new development projects. For example, a $14-acre site in Dublin is proposed for million-dollar homes[2].

From city hall, we have an update on the Regional Housing Coalition, which was announced earlier this week. The coalition aims to amplify efforts to increase affordable housing in central Ohio[3].

Weather-wise, we're expecting a chilly day today with showers in the vicinity and temperatures near freezing. Tonight will be even colder, with lows in the mid-30s[1]. This might impact some of the outdoor events planned for today, such as the Seasons of Celebrations at COSI[5].

In new business activity, a national cookie chain has opened its first Ohio storefront, and the Columbus Blue Jackets are taking on the Carolina Hurricanes at Nationwide Arena tonight[2][5].

Looking ahead to community events, the Special Olympics 2024 summer games kick off this weekend, and the Dublin community is rededicating a historic Black Cemetery[2].

In local school achievements, Ohio State's women's hockey team handed Wisconsin its first loss of the season, and Pick Central's Long made the U.S. Olympic Team[2][4].

On a feel-good note, a local nonprofit is celebrating a decade of community impact, and a Columbus police officer is being hailed as a hero after saving a man from a burning truck[1][4].

In today's crime report, police are searching for three men accused of assaulting a person in the parking lot of an after-hours club, and a second juvenile suspect has been arrested in connection with the city's 100th homicide this year[3][4].
