Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 28th of March.
Good morning, Newport News.
💼 Business
Breeden Company CEO Tim Faulkner was named one of CoVa Biz magazine’s 150 Most Influential People on March 26th at the Founder’s Inn in Virginia Beach—an honor that recognized his leadership in guiding the company's global real estate operations.
He has over 35 years of experience and now leads more than 450 associates at one of the nation’s top real estate development firms.
Frito-Lay recalled less than 1,300 bags of Tostitos chips sold in Virginia — the chips may contain an undeclared milk allergen from a mistakenly packed nacho cheese flavor.
Customers with milk allergies are urged to discard the product and contact Frito-Lay for assistance.
🌲 Environment
A cold front will move into Coastal Virginia early next week and bring strong to severe thunderstorms with a sharp drop in temperatures that may produce damaging wind gusts over 55 mph, hail and an isolated tornado risk.
Warm conditions this weekend will give way to unsettled weather late Monday afternoon for residents in Hampton Roads.
🏛️ Government
The Virginia Department of Health said its staffing and projects will be affected after COVID-19-related grants ended earlier than planned following a federal decision to pull back $11.4 billion in funds.
The agency is assessing the impact and will update staff and partners as it learns more.
