    El Paso Local Pulse: Debate Swirls Over $165B AI Project, Infrastructure Upgrades, and Community Spirit

    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Sunday, September 28, 2025. We start with what’s on everyone’s mind: Project Jupiter, the proposed 165 billion dollar AI data center near Santa Teresa. After heated public hearings and protests, Dona Ana County officials approved a major industrial revenue bond for this project just last week. The developers promise over 750 full-time jobs and a 300 million dollar commitment in payments instead of property taxes for the next three decades. While some in our community are excited by the economic boost, many are voicing deep concerns about water use and the environmental impact. As this project shifts into the permitting phase, the debate over our region’s future continues, with local leaders promising more opportunities for public input. From El Paso City Hall, attention is turning toward several infrastructure upgrades affecting daily commutes, especially near Mesa Street and downtown. Decisions to improve crosswalk safety and add LED street lighting are expected to be finalized soon, making night travel safer for everyone. City Council is also looking at new small business relief programs after hearing from struggling owners in east and northeast El Paso. As for the weather, today brings classic El Paso sunshine, clear skies, and temperatures climbing into the upper 80s. Outdoor events and neighborhood soccer games are a go. There’s no rain in the forecast, so we can expect a smooth finish to the weekend. Just plan for those afternoon winds that might pick up around Transmountain. The job market stays active, especially in logistics and tech. Multiple warehouse positions are open along Gateway East, with average starting salaries near 17 dollars an hour. Harmon Industries just announced a round of hiring for software technicians, and those interested can apply at their new office in the Lower Valley. Real estate remains competitive. Last week, nearly 130 homes were sold across the city, with an average price of about 265 thousand dollars. Listings in the Westside and near Kern Place continue to draw fast offers, especially properties with well-kept yards and views of the Franklin Mountains. Let’s talk sports. Last night, the UTEP Miners football team battled Louisiana Tech at Sun Bowl Stadium for Homecoming. Our defense played tough, racking up five sacks and recovering three fumbles, but turnovers were costly. The final score—Miners fell 30 to 11. Coach Scotty Walden says the team showed grit and progress, setting the stage for next Wednesday’s matchup against Liberty, also here at the Sun Bowl. School pride is strong this week. Jefferson High’s robotics team placed second in the regionals, and across El Paso ISD, attendance is up as families settle into the rhythm of the fall semester. On the business front, we’re welcoming Café Azul’s grand opening today at the corner of Stanton and Cincinnati, bringing local art and cold brew to the university crowd. Meanwhile, Tinman’s Books on Dyer is sadly closing after 12 years, hoping to sell out its remaining stock with major discounts. Turning to public safety, there were no major incidents overnight, but police remind us to stay cautious near I-10 and Lee Trevino due to an uptick in minor vehicle thefts. Last week, several arrests were made in connection with catalytic converter thefts on the far east side. No injuries were reported. For a feel-good story, volunteers from Sunrise Baptist spent Saturday cleaning up Marty Robbins Park, gathering over 40 bags of trash and planting new sunflowers. It’s proof that community pride continues to grow here at home. For upcoming events, mark your calendars for Barrio Fest on Texas Avenue this Saturday, and the El Paso Symphony’s fall concert happening Friday night at the Plaza Theatre.

    El Paso Film Fest Draws Hollywood, Ferveret Lures Tech Jobs, Sunset Amphitheater Breaks Ground

    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Saturday, September twenty-seventh. As we start our day, let’s look at the weather. After heavy winds overnight, we’re waking up to clear skies and seasonably warm temps in the low eighties by lunch. Winds calm as the day goes on, so any outdoor family plans at Memorial Park or the farmers market downtown should be smooth sailing. In breaking news, our city finds itself in the national spotlight yet again as the El Paso Film Festival takes over the Plaza Theatre this week. Locals are beaming with pride as Hollywood studios take a fresh interest in filming here, thanks to new multimillion-dollar incentives from the state. Recent premiers like the Texas-shot film One Battle After Another have drawn big crowds. Organizers say, more than ever, stories filmed in our city are celebrating what it means to live on the border. New workshops at the festival highlight how young creatives can get started in movie-making, right here at home. Turning to business, there’s big news for jobs in tech and construction. The El Paso City Council just approved an almost nine-hundred-thousand dollar incentive to lure Ferveret, a data center cooling company, to the west side. And in the region just north of the border, the massive Project Jupiter data center in Santa Teresa is moving forward after county commissioners approved the landmark one hundred sixty-five billion dollar deal, which could mean thousands of jobs over the next few years. Construction is in focus today as VENU breaks ground on the Sunset Amphitheater in Northeast El Paso. This new twelve-thousand-seat venue just off Dyer Street is expected to bring in big music acts and inject an estimated two billion dollars into our economy over the coming decade. That means more options for live music fans and fresh opportunities for anyone looking to work in entertainment and hospitality. There’s also some news from City Hall. The El Paso Zoo’s director, Joe Montisano, has been placed on temporary administrative leave. City officials are tight-lipped about the reasons and any timeline for his potential return, but zoo operations continue as scheduled. Let’s not forget our local schools. Franklin High’s robotics team took top honors in the state pre-season meet, and Jefferson Silver Foxes football heads to playoffs after last night’s twenty-eight to fourteen win over Eastwood. Crime in El Paso remains relatively low, though the Western District of Texas U.S. Attorney’s Office has added two hundred seventy new immigration cases this week, including one high-profile trafficking arrest involving a U.S. citizen right here. Local police remind us that traffic enforcement will be stepped up around the University area this weekend. If you see anything suspicious, authorities ask that you use the city’s anonymous tip line. Looking ahead, the next few days are packed with events. The Tumbleweed Music Festival brings regional acts to San Jacinto Plaza starting this evening, and the El Paso Cattleman’s Spring Market returns Sunday morning on Montana Avenue with local vendors and fresh foods. As a feel-good finish, we want to mention the volunteers from our Pawsitive Vibes program who spent yesterday afternoon hosting pet adoption drives and reading days at area schools. Their work brings together families and furry friends and reminds us of the spirit that sets El Paso apart. Thank you for tuning in today. Remember to subscribe so you won’t miss your daily updates.

    El Paso Mourns Tragic Loss, Data Centers Reshape Economy, and Community Unites to Protect Resler Canyon

    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Friday, September 26, 2025. We wake up with heavy hearts as our community mourns the loss of Mia Molina and Victoria Whitman, tragically killed in a murder-suicide near the El Paso police headquarters on Raynor Street earlier this week. Police have identified 28-year-old Uriel Ontiveros as the offender, who also died at the scene. There’s an ongoing investigation and a call for support for affected families as the city rallies to assist them during this difficult time. We also saw traffic come to a complete standstill on I-10 at Schuster last night after a crash closed all lanes for several hours. Commuters faced major delays, but lanes have now reopened. Today’s weather brings cool, clear skies, with temperatures rising to the mid-80s by midday. Afternoon gusts may hit 20 miles per hour, so keep that in mind if you’re headed out. The outlook for this weekend stays sunny and pleasant—great for outdoor plans. From city hall, the council is still buzzing about Project Jupiter, the new $165 billion data center campus in Santa Teresa just outside El Paso. Developers, including OpenAI and Oracle, promise up to 750 new local full-time jobs once the facility is up and running, along with $50 million for water infrastructure improvements in the region. Concerns linger over water use and energy needs, but officials assure us this could reshape our regional economy for decades. The recent vote was close and animated, reflecting lots of community interest. Turning to local real estate and business, Meta, the parent of Facebook and Instagram, is planning a massive $800 million data center in Northeast El Paso. Meanwhile, Ferveret, a data center cooling firm, is setting up shop in the city with about 30 new tech jobs on the horizon. Local housing inventory has ticked up slightly, with the average home price holding right around $250,000. For those looking for community fun, mark your calendars for the Trivia on Tap event at Old Sheepdog Brewery on October 9, kicking off Early Giving for El Paso Giving Day. Tonight, Bassett Place hosts the premiere of “One Battle After Another” at the IMAX theater, drawing local filmmakers and movie buffs. School news brings a win for the University of Texas at El Paso, which hit a record enrollment of 26,000 students this fall. Eastwood High football continues their exciting trip to California, funded by boosters, and promises a good game ahead. In education, both UTEP and EPCC are expanding their esports programs, aiming to prepare students for careers in a booming billion-dollar industry. We wrap up with a feel-good story: Resler Canyon, a beloved landmark, celebrates 20 years of community-driven protection. Local volunteers have restored trails and ensured this green space remains open for everyone—a testament to what we can achieve together.

    El Paso Pulse: Fires, Budget Woes, and Community Spirit

    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for September twenty-fifth, twenty twenty-five. We start our day with breaking news as investigators continue to look into the discovery of a body after a house fire on the fifty-two hundred block of Beautonne Avenue in Northeast El Paso. The fire marshals and police Crimes Against Persons unit are still on scene. In another development, police are investigating a suspicious death on the nineteen hundred block of Olive Avenue near Frederick Douglass Elementary, with details remaining limited as authorities urge anyone with information to step forward. Looking at a changing sky, we wake up to clearing conditions after record rainfall nearly flooded our roads. KVIA reported almost two inches of rain fell in a single day earlier this week, leading to minor street flooding in Central and East El Paso. Today, we expect drier skies, cooler temps in the low seventies, and light winds—a welcome shift for those with outdoor plans. At City Hall, budget talks are in the spotlight. Both city and county officials are warning of financial uncertainty ahead. The no-new-revenue tax rate has kept property taxes flat, but leaders caution this strategy may not be sustainable if federal funding cuts and slowing property values continue. Residents with a typical home worth about two hundred thousand dollars will still see their annual county tax around nine hundred sixty dollars. The council and commissioners are urging the community to be prepared for possible service cuts or even tax hikes as the new budget cycle kicks in. In real estate, growth has cooled compared to past years. Property values are stabilizing, which is giving some relief to homebuyers but presents budget challenges for local governments who depend on property tax revenue. Turning to our job market, the impact of recent school layoffs, federal job cuts, and sluggish hiring remains a concern. The county is watching how this might affect sales tax revenue and local spending. On the brighter side, UTEP set a record with more than twenty-six thousand students enrolled this fall, and both UTEP and El Paso Community College have expanded their esports programs. This move isn’t just about games—it’s a strategic investment in a booming industry, promising new careers for local graduates. In business headlines, a handful of new cafes have opened in downtown near San Jacinto Plaza, while a long-running hardware store on Alameda Avenue has closed its doors after fifty years. Owners say they’re grateful for the decades of support. For local culture, Old Sheepdog Brewery gears up to host El Paso Matters’ Trivia on Tap event coming up on October ninth—it’s a night of local trivia, prizes, and a kickoff for El Paso Giving Day. In sports, Eastwood High’s football team edged out Bel Air in a Friday night thriller, and Ysleta ISD students ranked among the top performers statewide on their recent assessment tests. A feel-good story to close—neighbors on Rim Road pulled together after recent heavy rains, organizing a clean-up that filled ten dumpsters in just a few hours. Their teamwork kept mud and debris out of homes and showed the spirit of El Paso at its best. Thanks for tuning in and make sure to subscribe so you never miss a beat.

    El Paso Morning Rundown: Weather, City Politics, Public Safety, and Community News

    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Saturday, September 20. We wake up today to a fresh autumn breeze, with sunny skies expected throughout the morning and highs climbing near eighty-six degrees later in the afternoon. So if you’re headed out, grab your shades and maybe a light jacket if you’re going to catch the sunrise over Franklin Mountains. In breaking news from city hall, El Paso’s legal battle over public records just took a new turn. The City Attorney’s Office released about 125 documents this week, though most came heavily redacted, all tied to police misconduct lawsuits. This follows their fresh lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as the city fights to protect attorney-client privilege while facing demands for greater transparency. Meanwhile, County Commissioners approved a larger budget for next year—six hundred thirty-six million dollars, up by twenty-eight million—with a tax hike set to bump yearly bills by roughly one hundred thirty-eight dollars for an average home. They’re digging into reserves but say there’s enough left for emergencies. We’re seeing big investments in public safety too. The Texas Department of Public Safety is set to build a new regional headquarters, drivers license center, and crime lab in the Campo del Sol community at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Loma Real. This eight-two thousand square foot facility will serve over ninety local agencies once complete, though we haven’t gotten a construction timeline yet. Developments in nearby Santa Teresa also may ripple through the El Paso job market. Doña Ana County has greenlit the multi-billion dollar Project Jupiter data center—a one hundred sixty-five billion dollar operation—which will bring major infrastructure and tech jobs to our region over the next thirty years. Local officials hint this could provide hundreds of new employment opportunities just across the state line. Over in the school district, El Paso ISD is launching Operation Search starting today—a door-to-door outreach effort to re-engage families and improve attendance. They’ve also allocated twenty-five thousand dollars to the Texas Association of School Boards for a superintendent search, hoping to find a permanent leader after recent changes. It’s a celebratory week for the Hispanic business community, as Gladys Gonzalez steps up as the new chief executive director of the El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. She’s promising new energy, innovation, and support for small businesses. On the sports front, tonight brings playoff pressure to Southwest University Park as El Paso Locomotive FC hosts Charleston Battery at 7 p.m. Fresh off a tough road loss, our squad is eager to bounce back with standout players like Andy Cabrera and Frank Daroma leading the charge. The Battery are strong contenders, so it’s set to be an exciting match for fans. Local high school football is buzzing about Del Valle’s Josiah Nunez. Just last night, he made a highlight-reel catch along the sideline—an instant “Play of the Week” worthy moment, cementing his reputation before heading off to Arizona State next year. As for crime, our top story comes from the westside, where a local businessman was arrested Thursday on deceptive practices after trying to overcharge a truck driver for repairs. Police report no major public safety alerts overnight. On a lighter note, some neighbors in central El Paso pitched in this week to help a stranded dog near Scenic Drive, reuniting him with his family after almost two days. Moments like these remind us of the community spirit that makes El Paso shine. Looking ahead, remember public comment is open until October 14 on the controversial I-10 widening in downtown. Speak up if you have thoughts—city officials want to hear from us. This has been El Paso Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

    Fort Bliss Drone Controversy Sparks National Security Discussions in El Paso

    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Friday, September nineteenth. We start today with a major development that’s stirring national security discussions right here at home. Fort Bliss is assessing possible risks after the City of El Paso deployed Chinese-made DJI drones for public safety and airport operations near the base. City officials say they’ve kept lines of communication open with Fort Bliss and maintain that all drone data is secured on independent networks. Officials stress these drones help in emergencies and airport logistics, but the program is under government review and facing scrutiny at both state and federal levels. Many in our community have strong opinions, with some raising concerns about the city’s investment of over six hundred thousand dollars since twenty twenty-one. We’ll keep you posted as the story unfolds. Moving over to city hall, El Paso City Council unanimously amended a two thousand twenty incentive agreement, green-lighting the sale of forty-five acres on the East Side for new housing and commercial development. In related news, the Council is considering new fire codes and outdoor business regulations, aiming to support emergency services and boost safety, especially as our population grows. In real estate, El Paso housing inventory stays tight, with homes on average selling around three hundred sixty thousand dollars this past week. Rental prices hold steady, though new developments like the forty-five acres mentioned earlier are expected to bring more choices. On the job front, hiring remains brisk across education, healthcare, and logistics. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso has just announced hiring for the new Fox Cancer Center, which broke ground yesterday. The project is expected to bring more than fifty new jobs over the next year. Weather today is mild but a little breezy, with some clouds and highs in the mid-eighties. If you’re heading outdoors or attending local events, it should be pleasant. Just remember, September is known for increased asthma risks due to allergens, so those with sensitivities should take precautions. Business activity reveals a few changes. GeoGeske and Fool’s Gold, two favorites in the Cincinnati District, will close by year’s end, making way for new dining and entertainment venues. Meanwhile, McDonald’s has launched the I Love to Read program in El Paso schools, handing out free books to support literacy. On the education front, Ysleta ISD’s Board of Trustees adopted the lowest property tax rate in district history, offering welcome relief to local homeowners. Texas Tech and UTEP both made headlines: UTEP’s Aerospace Center guided the city’s drone program and also cheered a finalist spot for La Nube, the new child-focused STEM center, for a national museum award. In sports, Eastlake High faces off against Rio Rancho tonight at the SAC, with high anticipation after last week's close win. UTEP’s basketball kicked off its season with a decisive seventy-nine to sixty victory over Northern New Mexico. Community events this weekend include the Hunger Action Month drive—head to an Albertsons where some lucky shoppers are receiving surprise gift cards. Plus, a local show of support outside Erica Zamora’s home drew neighbors together, reminding us of El Paso’s heart. As for crime, it’s been a busy week for police. Officers are investigating a party incident on Mesa Street after viral footage showed forceful arrests, raising public questions about police conduct. Separately, a thirty-seven-year-old man was arrested Wednesday for stabbing his own dog in Central El Paso. Police are urging anyone with information about recent thefts around the Northeast to contact Crime Stoppers. That’s our Local Pulse for today.

    Groundbreaking for Fox Cancer Center, City Hall updates, weather, crime, new businesses, and community stories - El Paso Local Pulse

    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Thursday, September 18, 2025. We start today with a big moment for our community as hundreds gathered yesterday for the groundbreaking of the new Fox Cancer Center at Texas Tech Health El Paso near Interstate 10 and Rick Francis Street. After years of planning, major gifts from the Fox and Hunt families, and a $30 million boost from county voters, the groundwork is laid for care that finally means families will not have to leave El Paso for top-tier cancer treatment. Leaders at the event called it a community effort built through teamwork, hope, and the promise of better health for all our neighbors. The center should open its doors by fall 2028 and represents a true turning point for healthcare in the Borderland. Moving to city hall, the El Paso County Commissioners Court holds a special session this morning, with several items expected to affect everyday life, from road improvements around Montana Avenue to updates on funding for youth mental health services and parks. These sessions are open to the public, and the agenda is posted online for anyone who wants a closer look at decisions shaping our neighborhoods. Turning to the weather, we are starting the day with cooler temps than last week. Highs near 82 degrees are making outdoor plans more inviting today, but watch for late afternoon winds gusting near Ascarate Park that could stir up some dust. Tonight, skies stay clear, and we head into a mild Friday with no rain in sight, giving the all clear for evening high school football. On the crime front, El Paso Police have released new details about a tragic shooting late last night in East El Paso, near Montwood Drive. A man was killed and his girlfriend injured when shots rang out at their home. The investigation is ongoing and police urge anyone with information to come forward. Elsewhere, deputies with the County Sheriff’s Office made an arrest after a foot chase on Montana Avenue, ending a string of local burglaries. Meanwhile, authorities report the death of a staffer for Congressman Tony Gonzales in Far East El Paso was found to be accidental, following a thorough investigation. In business news, The Green Table, a new farm-to-table restaurant, opens its doors this weekend on Mesa Street, bringing fresh ingredients and new jobs downtown. Across town, Fiesta Market on Alameda announced it will close next month, citing rising lease costs. Job openings in El Paso remain steady with around 2200 new listings this week, especially in healthcare and logistics. Local schools celebrate as Franklin High’s robotics team took first place at the state qualifying round, and Eastwood’s football squad edged past Bel Air in a close 21-20 win last night at Trooper Stadium, sparking big pride across campus. In real estate, average home prices sit just above 250 thousand dollars, and buyers remain active, especially in the Eastlake and Horizon City areas. Looking ahead, the Chalk the Block festival returns this Saturday downtown, filling San Jacinto Plaza with art, music, and food trucks. Families can also check out the El Paso Zoo’s Fall Fest kicking off Sunday. We end with a feel-good story: A group of neighbors from the Alameda neighborhood came together to surprise 88-year-old Maria Alvarez with a fully renovated garden, honoring her years of volunteering at the Sacred Heart Community Center. She called it the happiest day of her life. Thank you for tuning in and remember to subscribe to stay connected with your community. This has been El Paso Local Pulse.

    El Paso Roundup: Arrests, Development, Cancer Center and Community Events

    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Thursday, September 18, 2025. We wake up today under clear skies with highs expected to top out in the mid 80s. It’s perfect weather for school drop-offs, a neighborhood walk, or checking out one of our many outdoor events today. The forecast calls for continued sun and light winds, so no worries about rain disrupting our plans. Let’s start with breaking news from our streets. El Paso police have made two significant arrests in separate homicide cases this week. A 27-year-old woman, Alejandra Ramirez, is now in custody without bail after being charged in the stabbing death of a 63-year-old man found on Olive Avenue in South Central El Paso. Meanwhile, two men, Salvador Gomez and Manuel Gonzalez, face murder and assault charges after a fatal shooting tied to a personal dispute on Dale Douglas Drive in East El Paso. Both suspects remain behind bars with bonds set in the hundreds of thousands. These investigations show our officers acting swiftly to bring justice and keep our neighborhoods safer. Looking to City Hall, the ripple effects of cross-border development continue. Local officials are watching closely as Sunland Park leaders push for more transparency on Project Jupiter, a $165 billion data center proposal just across the state line. With the promise of thousands of tech jobs comes real concern about water supply and housing. City planners here in El Paso say they’re studying similar impacts, especially as our job market remains strong but faces strains on affordable housing. In real estate, inventory of homes under $300,000 remains tight, but we’ve seen several new listings in the Upper Valley and East Side. Local agents report bidding wars are driving prices up, especially near good schools. And on the job front, new hiring continues at hospitals and in logistics, with nearly 400 positions currently posted across the region, especially in healthcare and warehouse operations. Yesterday marked an emotional milestone for our community as leaders and survivors broke ground on the long-awaited Fox Cancer Center at Texas Tech Health El Paso, right off Interstate 10. Thanks to a major $5 million gift from the Hunt Family Foundation and coordinated efforts across public and private sectors, cancer patients in the Borderland will soon have access to top care without leaving home. Survivors spoke movingly about what this will mean for their families. Turning to our vibrant local events, tonight the El Paso Museum of History on Santa Fe hosts Ranchera Night, free and open to all, celebrating Mexican heritage with live music and dancing. Tomorrow kicks off the new season for El Paso Symphony Orchestra at the Plaza Theatre, and this weekend brings the Water Festival out at TecH2O on Montana Avenue, plus the family-friendly Cerveza Fest and Battle of the Bands at the County Coliseum. For music fans, mark your calendar for the Way Out West Fest in downtown on Saturday, September 27. Meanwhile, the El Paso Film Festival is just one week away with filmmaker Kevin Smith headlining opening night. On the community sports front, congratulations to Eastwood High's football team, picking up another win last night. And in academic achievement, Del Valle Middle School’s robotics club clinched a top spot in the West Texas regional qualifiers, drawing attention from district leaders. Before we go, a quick feel-good story to celebrate. Volunteers gathered along the River Trail near Ascarate Park to help clean up after last week’s storms. Families, students, and retirees pitched in side by side, collecting over 700 pounds of trash and planting native wildflowers. It’s a reminder that El Paso’s spirit is alive and well.
