Mecklenburg County buying 56 acres for park, housing in northwest Charlotte

Mecklenburg County commissioners quietly approved a $12 million purchase this past week of more than 55 acres for parks and housing at 400 Radio Road in northwest Charlotte. Why it matters: That's sizable acreage, near Sunset Hills Golf Course, that will eventually be turned into multiuse sports fields and mixed-income housing, two things Charlotte needs. Plans for the site have yet to be designed, so details are scarce and there's no timeline, a county spokesperson told Axios. Between the lines: Commissioners approved the purchase from Charlotte Broadcasting, LLC almost unanimously following a closed session. Commissioner Elaine Powell, a staunch parks advocate, cast the lone "no" vote. She told Axios she didn't approve of the funding method because it "depleted" the money available to acquire top priority properties. Half of the purchase price will come from Environmental Leadership Plan dollars. The land is appraised at $3 million, according to county records , a quarter of the purchase price. But the county says an independent third-party appraisal valued the property at $13.1 million.

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. The area’s latest annual gain equates to 8.4 people per 1,000 residents, according to the study. Charlotte was also named the most underrated city in America in 2026 by Clever Real Estate, the Charlotte Observer previously reported. So, how many people are actually moving here? Despite the city’s reputation as a location people want to move to, and an underrated one at that, migration to Charlotte actually dropped 14% between July 2024 and July 2025 , the Charlotte Observer recently reported .

THC drinks could soon be banned in NC. How will it affect Charlotte businesses?

For some, a night out no longer has to end with a cocktail, a beer or a glass of wine. A can of THC-infused seltzer offers another way to enjoy the festivities, without necessarily drinking alcohol. The beverages, which contain tetrahydrocannabinol — the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis that produces a “high” — appeal to customers who are sober-curious, abstaining from alcohol or want to try something different. But their presence in the North Carolina beverage market is facing an uncertain future as lawmakers consider tighter restrictions on hemp products. A federal law originally scheduled to take effect Nov. 12 would narrow the definition of legal hemp, eliminating most THC-infused drinks containing more than 0.4 milligrams of THC per container. Congress has since delayed those restrictions until Dec. 11. North Carolina lawmakers have also considered similar restrictions through House Bill 328 , but the bill remains stalled in the House Rules Committee. Rep. Tricia Cotham, who was a co-sponsor of the bill, lost her re-election bid earlier this month, meaning passage of the bill could be more difficult with Democrats set to take control of the House in January, The News & Observer reported .

Cancellations pile up at Charlotte airport Saturday for stranded travelers. What to know

More than 120 flights in and out of Charlotte Douglas International Airport have been cancelled as of early Saturday morning, as the nation’s airlines scramble to recover from the extraordinary ground stop Friday that left hundreds of thousands of travelers stranded. The hours-long ground stop was caused by communication equipment failures that the Trump administration blamed on “1980s” computer systems. Nearly 500 flights in and out of Charlotte Douglas International Airport were delayed Friday, and at least 90 canceled, due to the meltdown that lasted about four hours. CLT officials said flights resumed Friday night, but disruptions are likely to persist through the weekend. According to FlightAware, Delta has canceled 20% of its Saturday flights nationwide, while JetBlue scrapped 40% of departures. American Airlines was showing 14% of routes canceled Saturday, or nearly 500 routes. American, the primary carrier at CLT, said it was working toward “the strongest possible recovery tomorrow and in the days ahead.” “We expect residual delays and cancellations (Friday night) and into tomorrow following the FAA’s nationwide ground stop. We’re grateful to our team members for their continued work to care for our customers and minimize the impact of this disruption as much as possible.” The
