Charlotte says transit tax will spark job influx. It's got a plan for them

Charlotte is launching a free course to prepare small businesses for what the city says will be a massive influx of construction-related jobs anticipated across the region. The Skilled to Build initiative aims to keep jobs and dollars local by training companies on everything they need to know to compete for large contracts. The first cohort will launch in 2027. “When small businesses are successful, Charlotte’s economy is successful,” said Alban Burney, the Skilled to Build program manager. Mecklenburg County voters approved a 1% sales tax increase last year to support road and transit improvements. The tax went into effect July 1 and will generate an estimated $19.4 billion over several decades to fund the transportation projects. A city report earlier this year found demand will exceed local labor capacity by 2030. And if current market conditions persist, local businesses could only build about half of those projects when construction demand peaks around 2040. Skilled to Build will try to bridge those gaps by ensuring entrepreneurs are aware of the upcoming opportunities and are prepared once they arrive, Burney said. How will Skilled to Build work? The city hired a local vendor to design a small business readiness curriculum that

Gaston County board deadlocked on property values; revote on Friday

(This story was updated because the original included inaccuracies. In the original, County Tax Assessor Chelsea Tarbush's last name was misspelled. The name of Brittany Millwood Elkin, a local Realtor, was also listed incorrectly.) GASTONIA – In theory, it all comes down to a Cherryville commissioner who is a licensed and active Realtor about what your property taxes will be like next year. That is, if Gaston County Commissioners hold true to their deadlocked votes from Tuesday night, Oct. 27. That night, Commissioner Tom Keigher made the motion to approve the 2027 Schedule of Values, and Chair Chad Brown seconded it. Commissioners Scott Shehan, Jim Bailey and Cathy Cloninger voted no, while Brown, Vice Chair Bob Hovis and Keigher voted yes. Commissioner Allen Fraley was absent, so the 3-3 tie meant the motion failed. When the board meets Friday to revote, Fraley’s vote will decide whether the schedule that sets how property is valued in 2027 is adopted. If the three commissioners on each side stand firm, he is the deciding vote. Based on more information from the Gaston County Tax Office and staff sought by Brown, they will vote again within 66 hours of that deadlock on the document
