Charlotte's airport development plan is too car-centric, planners say

Charlotte's planning staff has asked Crosland Southeast to design a less car-centric version of the "Destination District," the airport's nearly 40-acre development near the future Silver Line stop that could include multiple drive-thrus. Why it matters: Again, Charlotte is facing crossroads decisions that guide whether the city becomes more urban — or continues operating as a place where you're expected to own a car. Charlotte City Council is hosting a public hearing on the city-owned airport's rezoning request Monday, Nov. 16, where the developer may address some of these concerns. However, airport officials have been clear that they only intend to make the district so walkable due to traffic and FAA rules. The latest: The Destination District, envisioned as an "employment hub," is currently planned to include a mix of stores, restaurants, offices, hotels, a parking garage, a gas station and green space. They're aiming to complete it by 2032. As it stands, the rezoning petition seeks permission to build up to six drive-thrus, with possible exceptions for more at the site, located between Wilkinson Boulevard and I-85. City staff argues this would not create the ideal pedestrian environment to support the multibillion-dollar Silver Line light rail coming through there,

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 .

Heel Tough Blog: Wyoming Recap

It wasn’t the most inspiring performance last night from the Tar Heels, but they got past Wyoming 76-63 to improve to 3-0 in the 2026-27 season, with their first major test on Friday night against Georgia. The Cowboys entered the game leading the country in offensive rebounding percentage, and they looked the part in the first half, grabbing 15 offensive rebounds on their way to bullying UNC on the glass, 25-15 in the first 20 minutes. The fact that Carolina even led at the break (31-290, is a reflection of how bad a shooting team Wyoming truly is, because a better shooting team would’ve built a double-digit lead, even on the road. In the second half, Carolina limited Wyoming’s damage on the offensive glass, as the visitors grabbed just 4 rebounds, allowing Carolina to flex their muscle and pull away for the 76-63 win, with the lead getting as big as 18 in the second half.

How Bank of America is helping secure safe housing for Charlotte residents

Two Charlotte nonprofits working to keep local residents housed have snagged major grant funding from Bank of America . Rebuilding Together of Greater Charlotte and Safe Alliance were named the bank’s 2026 Neighborhood Builders award recipients . The national program provides multiyear funding and training for local nonprofit leaders, Bank of America said Tuesday. Each organization will receive a $200,000 grant over two years, along with leadership training. “Our local nonprofits are crucial to promoting economic opportunity and addressing local challenges in Charlotte,” Kieth Cockrell , president of Bank of America Charlotte, said in a statement. The grant comes at a crucial time for nonprofits facing fewer and more restrictive federal funding available impacting operations, according to both leaders. “This type of unrestricted funding that Bank of America is providing is really a game changer for us,” said Laura Lawrence, president and CEO of Safe Alliance. “It provides us staffing support and resources that will allow us to intervene sooner before someone becomes homeless, and also support someone who has already reached homelessness to find appropriate, safe housing.” As the region faces an affordable housing shortage , preserving existing homeownership is critical. “The most affordable home is the one a

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,

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:
