Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for March 6, 2025.
We're starting with some breaking news from last night. A fatal hit-and-run incident occurred in the Freedom Division, involving a vehicle and a pedestrian. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's Major Crash Investigation Unit is currently investigating the case. Our thoughts are with the victim's family during this difficult time.
In city developments, Charlotte's tech scene continues to boom. The industry has seen a 50% increase in job postings over the past year, with nearly 30,000 tech professionals now calling our city home. Major companies like Bank of America and Honeywell are expanding their tech operations, while the startup scene is thriving in fintech, AI, and data science. The average salary for back-end developers has reached $114,000, with some senior positions commanding up to $152,000.
On the real estate front, the tech boom is impacting housing prices. We're seeing steady increases, especially in areas close to major tech hubs. If you're in the market, now might be a good time to consider your options.
In sports news, the Charlotte 49ers women's basketball team secured a win against Wichita State last night. Alexis Andrews led the charge with a season-high 27 points, propelling the team to a 73-59 victory at Halton Arena. Coach Tomekia Reed praised the team's preparation and Andrews' performance.
Looking at today's weather, we're expecting scattered showers throughout the day with temperatures hovering around 65°F. Don't forget your umbrella if you're heading out.
In community news, Charlotte Christian School's athletics department has a busy month ahead. Their calendar is packed with events across various sports, from tennis and baseball to lacrosse and golf. If you're a sports enthusiast, there's plenty to look forward to.
On the cultural front, TECHSPO Charlotte 2025 is just around the corner. This event will bring together the brightest minds in tech, showcasing innovations from AdTech to MarTech. It's a great opportunity for networking and learning about the latest industry trends.
In today's crime report, the CMPD has made progress on a cold case. Details are still emerging, but it's a testament to our law enforcement's dedication. Additionally, a potential threat of school shootings was thwarted, thanks to the vigilance of our community and quick action by authorities.
On a lighter note, a heartwarming reunion took place at the historic Woolworth site. Former sit-in participants gathered to share their experiences and celebrate the progress made in civil rights.
This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
