Charlotte's New Year: Transit Changes, Jobs Boom, and Community Updates
Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for January 1, 2025.
We're starting the new year with a look at what's happening in our city. First off, if you're planning to use public transportation today, note that the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) bus routes, Blue Line, and Gold Line will operate on a Saturday schedule due to the New Year's Day holiday[3].
In local news, Mecklenburg County offices and services are closed today for the New Year's Holiday, so plan accordingly if you need to conduct any county business[1].
Let's take a look at the job market. Charlotte's tech scene is booming, with over 30,000 tech job openings expected in 2025. Coding bootcamps like Tech Elevator and UNC Charlotte's Coding Boot Camp are offering intensive programs with job guarantees, helping graduates land jobs with salaries upwards of $80,000[2]. Additionally, major employers like Bank of America and Wells Fargo are hiring, with various job postings available, including customer service representatives and telecommunicators[5].
Moving on to real estate, it's a good time to list individual and business personal property for tax purposes with the Mecklenburg County Assessor’s Office, which can be done between January 1 and January 31, 2025[1].
In city hall news, Mecklenburg County is launching its 5-year Consolidated Planning process for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, inviting residents to participate in strategic planning for community development[1].
Weather-wise, it's a chilly start to the year, so bundle up if you're planning to venture out today. Check local forecasts for the latest updates.
In new business activity, there are no major announcements today, but we'll keep you updated on any significant openings or closings in the coming days.
Looking ahead to community events, mark your calendars for the Part-Time Job Fair at Bank of America Stadium on January 11, 2025[5].
In local school achievements, we don't have any specific updates today, but we'll highlight any notable achievements in the future.
On a feel-good note, Mecklenburg County Senior Nutrition recently surprised homebound seniors with healthy holiday meals, spreading some cheer during the holiday season[1].
In today's crime report, there are no significant incidents to report from the past 24 hours, but residents are advised to be cautious of jury scams, which have been targeting locals with sophisticated tactics[1].
This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
