  • Résumé

  • Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for February 25, 2025. We're starting with breaking news from City Hall, where Mayor Jacob Frey has vetoed the City Council's decision to delay development at George Floyd Square. This move reignites the ongoing debate over how to balance the site's historical significance with the needs of the surrounding community. The mayor supports a "flexible-open" concept, which would allow traffic and transit to continue while still maintaining the ability to close the square for public events. However, the City Council favored a pedestrian plaza that would limit vehicular traffic, with exceptions for neighborhood residents and first responders[1].

    In other news, the Minneapolis cybersecurity job market is heating up, with a projected 28% growth rate in roles by 2025. Major employers like Target, U.S. Bank, and Best Buy are actively recruiting due to a shortage in talent, as the state's workforce supply/demand ratio sits at 78%. The average salaries for cybersecurity analysts in Minneapolis are around $124,000, making it an attractive field for those looking to break into tech[2].

    On the sports front, we have the latest high school sports scores and results from Saturday, February 22. In boys' basketball, Lakeview took down Canby 63-52, while MACCRAY defeated Yellow Medicine East 76-48. In gymnastics, Ava Bruegger from New Prague won the all-around title at the Class 2A state meet[3].

    As we look at the weather, a stretch of warm weather is causing ice house owners to remove their structures from frozen lakes this week. This is a crucial reminder for those who enjoy winter activities on our lakes to be mindful of the changing conditions[4].

    In community news, the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management is launching a new grant to support marginalized communities that have faced challenges under the "War on Drugs." This initiative aims to provide resources and opportunities for those who have been disproportionately affected by past policies[4].

    Finally, in a feel-good community story, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Terrence Shannon Jr. is turning his retirement jersey mistake into an opportunity for a good cause. This is a great example of how our local athletes are giving back to the community[4].

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