    Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Thursday, February 20, 2025.

    We're starting off with some exciting news - the Tucson Rodeo Parade is celebrating its 100th anniversary today. The parade kicks off at 9 a.m. and will run until 11 a.m., starting at 12th Avenue and Drexel Road, heading east on Drexel to South Nogales Highway, and then turning north on South Nogales Highway/South 6th Avenue before returning to the Rodeo Grounds. Major road closures will be in place from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., primarily affecting the Sunnyside Neighborhood. So, if you're planning to be out and about, make sure to check the parade route and plan your day accordingly[1][4].

    In other news, Tucson's job market has seen a 1.6% increase in employment from 2022 to 2023, although this growth rate is slower compared to other western metropolitan areas. The city has managed to replace all jobs lost during the early months of the pandemic and has returned to a more historic growth rate. If you're looking for job opportunities, don't forget that the Tucson Job Fair was held at Reid Park on February 18, 2025, offering a chance to meet with employers and recruiters[2][5].

    On the education front, the Catalina Foothills School District continues to shine with outstanding achievements. Recent highlights include the CFHS boys' golf team setting a new Arizona record with nine consecutive state championships and the CFHS girls' swim and dive team coming in second overall at the state championship.

    In community news, the City of Tucson and Pima County have received a $7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to reduce regulatory and financing barriers for affordable housing. This grant is a significant step in addressing long-term poverty in the region.

    For those interested in local government participation, there are various boards, committees, and commissions where you can get involved. The City of Tucson also offers services for neighborhood associations.

    Finally, don't forget to check out the upcoming events and meetings listed on the City of Tucson's website, including the advisory board for development in the Barrio Historico Historic Preservation Zone.
