🌱 Huntington Daily: Local Job Openings + Adoptable Pets In Area

Good morning, people of Huntington! It's me again, Andrew Tessler, your host of the Huntington Daily.

First, today's weather:

Sunshine; windy, colder. High: 33 low: 22.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Huntington:

1. Adopt from Huntington area shelters: see the latest pets. Did you know 5 million pets are available for adoption each year? Check out pets available for adoption in the Huntington area shelters. Remember adopting a pet is a commitment so make sure you're ready to do so. Take a look at the list and make one of these beautiful animals part of your family. (Huntington Patch)
2. Huntington area job openings: check out the latest. As we head into another work week, the job market is still hot for those looking. The latest unemployment number for Suffolk shows a decline in the unemployment rate, but there are still plenty of companies hiring with some great jobs available. Take a look at the list we've compiled for you of all job openings in the Huntington area! (Huntington Patch)
3. Renovations to give shopping center new stores, new look. Have you noticed all the work going on in the Ulta parking lot on 110? A new look is coming when work is completed in 2024. Whole Foods will be the centerpiece of the shopping center, with Applebee's and Five Guys getting the boot. Federal Realty said it would also add two more “pad sites,” the freestanding parcels that will have up to three tenants each. It said it was investing $75 million in the work, which includes updated facades, reconstructed parking lots, new landscaping and walkways at the Center, next to Walt Whitman Mall on Route 110.
