450 new homes are proposed around Rock Hill, Fort Mill & Lake Wylie: What to know

Rock Hill, Fort Mill and Lake Wylie have more homes proposed. So do Clover and Lancaster. They range from typical subdivisions to lakefront living beside a nuclear station . Here’s a look at plans for 450 new homes and townhomes pitched across the Rock Hill region. Details are still pending on a 309-home subdivision proposal in Lancaster County. Homebuilder True Homes applied to build in the Edgewater community on 106 acres with a project called The Pinery East . The site is off Monterrico Drive and Antela Lane. County planners deferred a decision for a month on Sept. 15 due to traffic and related concerns, but didn’t reschedule last month.

Fieldstone Meadow would go on S.C. 55 just outside town limits, near Lester Road. Home lots would be an acre or more each. Four new internal roads off the main highway would serve the subdivision. More than 5 acres in Fort Mill is up for rezoning to allow a new 34-unit townhome development . The site is on Pleasant Road, across from

The decline of Charlotte's queer third spaces

Charlotte, North Carolina, a small yet growing city in the South, has a surprisingly rich history when it comes to queer spaces. In 1968, a prominent venue emerged known as The Scorpio. A pioneer in queer spaces in terms of diversity and inclusivity, Scorpio is still in business today. With such a pillar still around, you would think queer spaces are valued and protected. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

FORT MILL — Downtown Fort Mill is home to a mix of places to grab a bite to eat or find a gift for a friend.

Democratic Mecklenburg legislators say they’re eager to execute on long-awaited priorities after their party captured a majority in the North Carolina House for the first time in 16 years. House Democrats are expected to have a near-supermajority in the new legislative session after flipping seats across the state in Tuesday’s election. Republicans appear to have narrowly held onto their majority in the state Senate, if potential recounts and the final canvass don’t change outcomes. But Democrats picked up several seats there, too. In Mecklenburg County, state Sen. Vickie Sawyer will be the only Republican left in the legislative delegation after former Matthews town Commissioner Ken McCool defeated GOP state Rep. Tricia Cotham. State Rep. Mary Belk easily secured a sixth term in the House, where she represents south Charlotte’s District 88. Despite her long tenure, this will be her first time in the majority.
