Companies looking to invest nearly a quarter billion dollars in York County and create more than 400 jobs are beginning to introduce themselves.

FORT MILL — Silfab Solar gave state officials a required 72-hour notice on Nov. 6 that the company will begin solar cell manufacturing at its Fort Mill plant next week. The company has been limited to panel assembly since opening in early 2026, then agreed not to phase into chemical manufacturing following two leaks in March. Silfab entered into an agreement with the S.C. Department of Environmental Services to have an independent contractor review policies and safety measures at its site before starting chemical manufacturing. In addition to the review, the SCDES agreement required Silfab giv...

County officials face tough calls in the Rock Hill region. Just not on the ballot

The easiest races to call on election night are for seats that handle some of the most contentious public issues across the Rock Hill region. Yet most of those races were all but decided before polls closed. Residents have poured into York County Council meetings each month for years now to debate data centers and solar panel manufacturing. A little more than a week ago, the latest protest drew a large crowd asking the county not to allow Canadian manufacturer Silfab Solar to use industrial chemicals near schools in Fort Mill. The county is involved with multiple lawsuits on the issue. Yet with three York County Council seats on the ballot this fall, all three saw incumbents run unopposed. Republicans Tommy Adkins and Debi Cloninger will keep their seats, as will Democrat William “Bump” Roddey. It’s a similar story in Lancaster County, where residents routinely plead with Lancaster County Council to slow down growth, improve infrastructure or deny new projects in the fast-growing Indian Land area. They’ve tackled hot button issues of late from where to allow data centers to a moratorium on places of worship . Lancaster County Council had three contests on the ballot Tuesday. All three saw

Ex-Hendrick Employee Says His Supervisor Struck Workers in the Head and Neck for a Decade, and N.C. Appeals Court Lets His Lawsuit Proceed

The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled on Oct. 7 that Randy Hembree, a former employee of Charlotte-based Hendrick Automotive Group, can keep suing his supervisor, Eric William Wright, over allegations that Wright struck subordinates in the head and neck to motivate them. The allegations are unproven, and the ruling does not decide them. It decides where the fight happens: a superior court, not the state’s workers’ compensation agency.

Charlotte's marathon is sold out. But organizers now face a course correction.

The Charlotte Marathon has a problem that would have seemed enviable not so long ago: Too many people want to run it. Running clubs have multiplied across Charlotte, introducing newcomers to the sport and helping turn marathon morning into something resembling a citywide reunion — and this year, weeks before race day, registration for the Nov. 14 event officially sold out when it hit a record-setting 13,250 runners. Now, under new ownership , organizers are contemplating future growth that could involve perhaps 20,000 participants, more visitors from outside North Carolina and a place among the country’s premier destination races. But between Miles 22 and 24, where the full-marathon course squeezes onto a narrow stretch of greenway connecting NoDa to uptown, Charlotte’s ambitions run into a physical barrier. And that, according to the woman responsible for making the race work, is where ambition encounters reality. “The greenway is our clog point,” says Alaina Williams, who oversees operations for the Charlotte Marathon, noting that the width of the asphalt path is eight feet. “I cannot put any more runners on the greenway. Physically, it will not fit.” It’s one of several obstacles confronting a race whose popularity is testing the limits of
