Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for January 5, 2025. We're starting off the week with a look at what's happening around our city.
First, let's dive into some breaking news from the past few days. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is investigating a homicide in the University City Division. Detectives are working on a case in the 8200 block of Dave McKinney Avenue, and we'll keep you updated as more information becomes available[4].
Moving on to the job market, we have some significant hiring announcements to share. Renewal by Andersen is looking for top sales professionals to join their team, with paid training and benefits included. Additionally, there are over 600 job openings in Charlotte, including positions at Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department[2].
In terms of the current unemployment rate, Charlotte is at 3.30%, which is lower than the long-term average of 5.01%[5].
Now, let's talk about what's happening in real estate. While we don't have any major property sales or development updates to share today, we do want to remind you that the local market is always evolving.
From city hall, we have some updates on decisions that affect daily life. However, there are no significant announcements to share at this time.
Looking at the weather, today is expected to be mostly sunny, making it a great day to get out and enjoy some of the events happening around the city. Speaking of which, there are several events taking place today, including the Mint Hill Car Show at Chick-fil-A on Matthews Mint Hill Road[1].
In new business activity, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today. However, we do want to remind you that the local business scene is always changing, and we'll keep you updated on any significant developments.
In community news, we have several events coming up in the next few days, including the Living History Saturdays at the York, S.C. Museum of History[1].
In local school achievements, we don't have any specific updates to share today. However, we do want to recognize the hard work and dedication of our local students and educators.
In a feel-good community story, we want to highlight the Three Kings Day – Dia De Reyes 2025 event that took place on Saturday at the Second Ward Gymnasium. This event celebrated the cultural heritage of our community and brought people together for a fun and festive day[1].
Finally, in today's crime report, we want to remind you that the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is still investigating the officer-involved shooting that occurred on December 28 in the 4600 block of Wilkinson Boulevard. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is leading the investigation, and we'll keep you updated as more information becomes available[3].
This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
