These 9 North Carolina Towns Are Attracting Real Estate Investors, And Locals Are Taking Notice

One town on this list has two separate historic downtowns because Fuquay Springs joined with the neighboring community of Varina back in 1963. I love that kind of quirk. It tells you a place grew in its own odd, stubborn way. That same historic character now shares the spotlight with...

9 North Carolina Farms Where You Can Skip The Grocery Store And Buy Pasture Raised Pork Straight From The Source

Oink first, grocery store later. North Carolina has farms where pigs spend their days outdoors, sometimes wandering through woods before ending up as pork sold directly from the people who raised them. That already feels more interesting than staring through plastic wrap under fluorescent lights. One farm even credits salty...

Food Lion holds re-opening ceremonies across the county

Improvements to local Food Lion stores were showcased with several re-opening ceremonies across Surry County Wednesday morning, with many attendees entering contests for the chance to win prizes. The grocery story chain spent more than $270 million to enhance and renovate stores across the Greater Greensboro area, consisting of 94 total stores, according to Food Lion. All three Mount Airy locations were included in the renovation project, alongside one in Dobson, Elkin and Pilot Mountain. Additionally, Food Lion Feeds invested $375,000 in celebration of the grand-re-openings to support local hunger relief efforts across, according to a statement from Food Lion. For the first 100 attendees, gift cards and reusable shopping bags were distributed to customers. At the ribbon cutting ceremony, ten randomly selected customers selected by raffle were able to play a peel-and-reveal game to win monetary prizes, with the grand prize totaling $1,000. Through Nov. 10, customers will have additional opportunities to win prizes through scratch off tickets distributed at the registers. Keely Casstevens was the last of the ten chosen customers to take a turn to play for a prize at the Food Lion store off of West Lebanon and was the store’s grand prize winner. “When I

Groups call on NC county to reject rezoning for Duke Energy project

On Monday, the Davidson County Planning Board will decide whether to rezone hundreds of acres along the Yadkin River for a new Duke Energy project. Opponents contend it will harm surrounding communities and the environment. A Duke Energy subsidiary wants to build its Davie-Davidson Energy Complex along the Yadkin River, which requires major infrastructure and rezoning approvals. Davie County officials certified two proposed methane power plants as public utilities, allowing Duke Energy to build on land zoned residential and agricultural. The decision was made without a public hearing or special use permit. Davidson County officials voted in favor of rezoning land for a liquid natural gas storage facility for heavy industrial use. A final vote is scheduled for Monday. Nicole Eastman, Yadkin Riverkeeper, argued the facility isn't a public utility and said such a project should only be built in areas zoned for heavy industrial use. "It really doesn't make sense for two massive power plants that would draw a lot of water from the Yadkin River, and also would be discharging back into the river and contributing to air pollution," Eastman stressed. If approved, it would be the largest liquefied natural gas storage facility in the corporation’s history. The

Board approves foreclosure on tax delinquent properties

Tax Administrator Penny Harrison sought a request to refer delinquent tax accounts to foreclosure from the Board of Commissioners during their meeting Monday, which was approved by the board. Seven accounts were chosen at random by Harrison and her team for foreclosure, as all attempts to collect taxes on those parcels have been unsuccessful, according to Harrison. After five or more years of no tax collection, Surry County can begin the foreclosure process through assistance from Kania Law Firm, according to the county’s policies. After ten or more years of no tax collection, taxes for a parcel are uncollectable, Harrison explained during the meeting. Each of the seven parcels Harrison brought before the board have gone five or more years without collection. Combined, the estimated assessed value of the seven parcels totals more than $370,000. As of Sunday, the total amount of taxes owed across all seven parcels exceeds $28,000. These parcels include: A 0.714 acre property in the Mount Airy TownshipA 0.582 acre property in the Mount Airy TownshipA 4.87 acre property in the Pilot TownshipA 3.55 acre property in the Westfield TownshipA 0.73 acre property in the Bryan TownshipA 4.06 acre property in the Eldora TownshipA 2.67 acre

Pertinacious Coffee is opening a cafe near Park Road Shopping Center

Pertinacious, a local speciality coffee brand that started with a mobile cart, is opening its first standalone shop in Montford. Why it matters: The expansion marks a major milestone for 23-year-old founder Emma Layman, who has built a loyal following by sharing the behind-the-scenes reality of running her small business on social media. Driving the news: Pertinacious is aiming to open in mid-January 2027 inside Centro Montford, a new apartment development near Park Road Shopping Center. A rendering of what the Montford Cafe will look like (it's currently under construction). Rendering: Courtesy of Emma Layman Catch up quick: Layman started Pertinacious with a coffee cart in 2024 and later expanded to The Club , a fitness and coworking space in South End. She told Axios in September that monthly sales had grown from $8,363 to $29,156 in one year. Pertinacious will continue operating its cafe inside The Club after the Montford storefront opens. What to expect: The roughly 700-square-foot shop will have a handful of indoor tables and an outdoor patio.

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. This month’s planning commission agenda for Nov. 17 hasn’t been published. A company called PLJS Property applied to build a 66-home subdivision on 98 acres west of Clover. 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
