Charlotte Tech Boom Drives Job Growth, Fatal Crash Investigation Ongoing.
Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Monday, December 30, 2024.
We start with breaking news from the past few days. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is investigating a fatal pedestrian crash that occurred on October 18, 2024, in the Providence Division. Officers responded to a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian in the 100 block of North Sharon Amity Road. The investigation is ongoing[4].
Moving on to today's job market snapshot, Charlotte continues to see robust growth. The January 2024 job market report indicates a low unemployment rate and significant expansion across various industries. Major companies like Bank of America, Microsoft, and Lowe's are driving this growth, particularly in the tech sector. Software developers are in high demand, with salaries averaging around $108,000. The city's tech industry is expected to grow by 21% between 2020 and 2024, outpacing the national average[1][3].
In real estate news, while we don't have specific updates on notable property sales or new development projects today, the city's growing tech industry is likely to impact the housing market. We'll keep an eye on weekly median home prices and inventory levels for you.
From city hall, there are no major updates that affect daily life to report today. However, the Office of State Human Resources has approved flexibilities to assist with relief efforts following Hurricane Helene, and the State Health Plan has processes in place to help impacted members access their benefits[2].
Weather-wise, it's a chilly morning in Charlotte. We recommend checking the latest forecast for today's activities and events. As of now, there are no significant weather alerts that might disrupt your plans.
In new business activity, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today. However, the tech industry's growth is expected to bring new businesses and opportunities to the city.
Looking ahead to community events, there are no major events scheduled for the next few days. However, UNC Charlotte is hosting various webinars and events, including an HR Power Hour on January 8 to review changes to the EHRA nonfaculty performance management cycle and timeline[2].
In local school achievements, there are no specific updates today, but we'll keep you informed about any notable achievements or sports results.
On a positive note, the Novant Health Breast Center mobile unit was at UNC Charlotte on December 3, offering screenings and promoting health awareness[2].
Moving on to today's crime report, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is focusing on public safety. Besides the ongoing investigation into the fatal pedestrian crash, there are no other significant incidents to report from the past 24 hours[4].
