Diesel, gasoline prices are lowest in North Carolina

(The Center Square) – Lowest average prices for a gallon of diesel fuel or regular unleaded gasoline are 19 and 16 cents better, respectively, in North Carolina than any other state in the nation, according to an update Monday from AAA. Motorists from Murphy to Manteo are benefitting from the Republican-majority General Assembly chambers suspending the 41 cents per gallon fuel tax on each through the end of November. The seven-week pause carries an estimated cost of $362.3 million, according to Rockingham County 13th term Sen. Phil Berger Jr. The loss of revenue for money used to help maintain highways through the state Department of Transportation’s Highway Fund and the Highway Trust Fund is being subsidized by the state’s Stabilization and Inflation Reserve account. Berger said the account to draw from has a balance of about $518 million available. First-term Republican state Treasurer Brad Briner, in published reports, said $11 billion in reserves means the amount would not negatively impact the state’s top-level credit rating. If not extended, the fuel taxes return Dec. 1. North Carolina’s average on Monday, according to AAA, for a gallon of diesel is $5.49 and a for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.38.

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
