Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools reveals how it'll handle finances after top staff leave

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools will turn to an outside consulting firm to help oversee its finances after its chief financial officer retires at the end of December, the district announced Tuesday. CMS has selected HIL Group, a firm that specializes in supporting North Carolina school districts, to provide financial management, budget development and operational support beginning Jan. 1, 2027. The arrangement comes amid significant turnover in district leadership. Chief Financial Officer Kelly Kluttz is one of five members of former Superintendent Crystal Hill’s 10-person cabinet who left or announced plans to leave CMS, as previously reported by The Charlotte Observer. “Our priority is to maintain strong financial oversight, ensure uninterrupted operations, and provide a transparent, cost-conscious solution while the district addresses this critical leadership need,” a news release states. Rather than immediately appointing a new CFO, CMS will designate an existing employee as its statutory finance officer while the consulting firm provides specialized financial support. The employee, whom CMS has not identified, will retain their current duties and will not receive a CFO salary. CMS Chief of Strategy and Innovation Beth Thompson will coordinate budget communications with the school board and public. The initial agreement with HIL Group, formally known as Hurd,

THC drinks could soon be banned in NC. How will it affect Charlotte businesses?

For some, a night out no longer has to end with a cocktail, a beer or a glass of wine. A can of THC-infused seltzer offers another way to enjoy the festivities, without necessarily drinking alcohol. The beverages, which contain tetrahydrocannabinol — the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis that produces a “high” — appeal to customers who are sober-curious, abstaining from alcohol or want to try something different. But their presence in the North Carolina beverage market is facing an uncertain future as lawmakers consider tighter restrictions on hemp products. A federal law originally scheduled to take effect Nov. 12 would narrow the definition of legal hemp, eliminating most THC-infused drinks containing more than 0.4 milligrams of THC per container. Congress has since delayed those restrictions until Dec. 11. North Carolina lawmakers have also considered similar restrictions through House Bill 328 , but the bill remains stalled in the House Rules Committee. Rep. Tricia Cotham, who was a co-sponsor of the bill, lost her re-election bid earlier this month, meaning passage of the bill could be more difficult with Democrats set to take control of the House in January, The News & Observer reported .

Charlotte tops wishlist for Americans looking to move, study says

A house sitting company has named Charlotte the destination people most want to move to in the United States. TrustedHousesitters, a house and pet sitting company, compared domestic migration statistics with relocation-related Google search data to determine the places people most want to move. Charlotte tops the list, followed by Austin and Dallas in Texas. Honolulu, Hawaii was ranked the highest for travel. The company found U.S. Google searches for “moving to Charlotte” and “living in Charlotte” average a combined 1,890 monthly. The company compared this to data on domestic migration. TrustedHousesitters used Census Bureau data to identify the metro area gained about 24,400 domestic migrants in 2024-25, which was the largest increase among the destinations analyzed. The area’s latest annual gain equates to 8.4 people per 1,000 residents, according to the study. Charlotte was also named the most underrated city in America in 2026 by Clever Real Estate, the Charlotte Observer previously reported. So, how many people are actually moving here? Despite the city’s reputation as a location people want to move to, and an underrated one at that, migration to Charlotte actually dropped 14% between July 2024 and July 2025 , the Charlotte Observer recently reported .

Will your Charlotte neighborhood trees be clear-cut for billboards? Here's a list

Charlotte and state leaders are requesting that billboard owners put a pause on cutting trees to improve visibility to their signs. The request comes after Adams Outdoor Advertising cut down a 500-foot stretch of trees — perhaps more than 100 trees — to improve visibility of a billboard along U.S. 74 or Independence Boulevard in Plaza Midwood. The tree clearing caused a massive outcry from local businesses owners along Commonwealth Avenue and residents. Business owners said the trees blocked out noise and pollution coming from the highway. There are 40 active permits around Mecklenburg County where Adams Outdoor and Lamar Outdoor either intend to cut trees or have already. The Plaza Midwood site is one of those places. Here’s a list of the active permits that were issued between July 14 and Nov. 2:
