Will Charlotte's bond money help your neighborhood? We tried to find out

The city of Charlotte has $425 million in general obligation bonds to fund housing, transportation and neighborhood infrastructure projects, thanks to voters approving the measures Nov. 3. It’s the largest bond request the city has ever made. So, what is the money being spent on? Some of the funding is earmarked and identified on the city’s website, but other allocations are described vaguely. And when asked for specific project lists or targeted neighborhoods, the city pointed towards its website and did not provide further context. And by state law , the city doesn’t have to list specific locations of projects. Councilmember Dimple Ajmera said the vagueness stems from a need for flexibility. “Some projects are identified today while others will be selected through a process based on community needs and available opportunities,” Ajmera said. But without a specified list of projects, how can Charlotteans keep track? Charlotte’s 2026 bond referendums City bonds are long-term loans, sometimes 10-year periods, where the debt and the interest are paid back through sales and property taxes, along with other local funding sources. They are the primary way municipalities pay for large-scale projects. Typically, Charlotte requests these bonds every two years and voters historically approve

Cornelius Schools Weigh New Boundary Lines as Bailey Middle Hits 162% Capacity

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is preparing to redraw middle school boundary lines across Cornelius, with a presentation to the Board of Education on Tuesday laying out two options that would reroute roughly 1,000 students currently zoned for Bailey and Francis Bradley middle schools. The driving force is overcrowding: Bailey Middle School now enrolls 1,703 students in a building with a stated capacity of 1,050, putting it at 162.2 percent of capacity and making it, according to the presentation, the most over-capacity school in the district. Francis Bradley Middle School, on Beatties Ford Road in Huntersville, isn't far behind at 101.5 percent capacity, with 1,091 students enrolled against a capacity of 1,075.

Heel Tough Blog: Wyoming Recap

It wasn’t the most inspiring performance last night from the Tar Heels, but they got past Wyoming 76-63 to improve to 3-0 in the 2026-27 season, with their first major test on Friday night against Georgia. The Cowboys entered the game leading the country in offensive rebounding percentage, and they looked the part in the first half, grabbing 15 offensive rebounds on their way to bullying UNC on the glass, 25-15 in the first 20 minutes. The fact that Carolina even led at the break (31-290, is a reflection of how bad a shooting team Wyoming truly is, because a better shooting team would’ve built a double-digit lead, even on the road. In the second half, Carolina limited Wyoming’s damage on the offensive glass, as the visitors grabbed just 4 rebounds, allowing Carolina to flex their muscle and pull away for the 76-63 win, with the lead getting as big as 18 in the second half.

At Charlotte airport, pardoned Jan. 6 rioter Jake Lang goes on (false) social media rant

A far-right influencer pardoned by President Donald Trump in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, filmed himself in Charlotte Douglas International Airport this week ranting against Muslim prayer rugs in the airport chapel. “Hey, guys, we’re here at the Charlotte, North Carolina, airport,” Jake Lang says in a video posted on social media. Referring to the CLT chapel, he wrongly asserts that “this is basically a mosque now sponsored by your tax dollars.” Lang’s breath quickens as he lifts a rug and apparently moves it elsewhere in the chapel. “This is what we’re doing in America now,” he says. “Shame. We’re being Islamified.” In a caption in all capital letters above his video, he writes, “Charlotte North Carolina used to be a Christian strong hold but now we are mocked with Qurans & prayer rugs inside our chapels!!!” Lang spent four years in jail awaiting trial on charges that included attacking police officers with a baseball bat during the riots. After he received Trump’s pardon in January 2025, he announced a bid for Florida’s U.S. Senate seat but didn’t appear on the primary ballot. In June, he was charged in North Texas with making a terroristic threat outside

Charlotte tops wishlist for Americans looking to move, study says

A house sitting company has named Charlotte the destination people most want to move to in the United States. TrustedHousesitters, a house and pet sitting company, compared domestic migration statistics with relocation-related Google search data to determine the places people most want to move. Charlotte tops the list, followed by Austin and Dallas in Texas. Honolulu, Hawaii was ranked the highest for travel. The company found U.S. Google searches for “moving to Charlotte” and “living in Charlotte” average a combined 1,890 monthly. The company compared this to data on domestic migration. TrustedHousesitters used Census Bureau data to identify the metro area gained about 24,400 domestic migrants in 2024-25, which was the largest increase among the destinations analyzed.

12 North Carolina Restaurants That Know How To Make Biscuits And Gravy Right

One Asheville spot serves cathead biscuits, a name that comes from biscuits roughly as big as a cat’s head. That alone made me sit up a little straighter. Then I learned the same place lets you pick a gravy the way other cafes let you pick a muffin. Another kitchen in Charlotte never closes, so sausage gravy is on the table at 3 AM if you want it.
