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

Key US midterm states could see Election Day storms. What about North Carolina?

Severe storms on Election Day could be an issue for a large chunk of the country, but Carolinians won’t be able to use that as an excuse for not going to the polls Tuesday. Fact is, the weather will be perfect across North Carolina, with highs in the 70s, lows in the 50s and no rain. This includes Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh and even Morehead City on the coast. The main weather threat for the nation is “ thunderstorms from the Southwest into the central United States,” according to AccuWeather. So will candidates need to worry in those states? Apparently not much, experts say. The impact of rain on voter turnout amounts to around 1% , based on data collected in North Carolina during three U.S. presidential elections. The report was published in 2024 in ScienceDirect. “While I find that rainfall continues to slightly dampen turnout overall, the results suggest that the negative effects on in-person Election Day voting are partially offset by increased use of alternate voting methods,” wrote the study’s data curator Nick Turner. “These methods, including mail voting and early/absentee voting, allow voters to cast their ballots while avoiding the costs of heading to the polling place in
