Tech Boom, COVID Precautions, and Community Resilience: Charlotte Local Pulse
Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Sunday, December 29, 2024.
We start with breaking news from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. On Friday, October 18, 2024, a fatal pedestrian investigation was conducted in the Providence Division after a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian occurred in the 100 block of North Sharon Amity Road. We'll continue to follow this story and provide updates as more information becomes available[1].
Moving on to today's job market snapshot, Charlotte's tech industry is booming. With a 21.3% increase in tech employment from 2021 to 2022, the city is attracting major tech players and fostering a thriving startup scene. Major companies like Microsoft, Lowe's, and Bank of America are hiring hard in Charlotte, with software developers being especially sought after, commanding average salaries of $108,000. Over 18,000 new tech roles are projected by 2029, making Charlotte an attractive destination for skilled tech professionals[2][5].
In real estate news, while we don't have specific updates on notable property sales or new development projects today, the city's growing population and expanding job market are expected to drive demand for housing and commercial spaces.
From city hall, we have updates on various initiatives and policies. Human Resources at UNC Charlotte is hosting webinars and workshops to review changes to the EHRA nonfaculty performance management cycle and timeline, as well as updates to the Fair Labor Standards Act[3].
Weather-wise, we're expecting a mild day today, perfect for outdoor activities. However, we recommend checking the latest forecast for any updates before planning your day.
In new business activity, while we don't have specific openings or closings to report today, the city's diverse economy, including finance, manufacturing, and life sciences, continues to attract new investments and expansions.
Looking ahead to community events, we encourage you to check local listings for upcoming activities and events in the next few days.
In local school achievements, we're proud to see our schools and students excelling in various fields, though we don't have specific updates to share today.
For a feel-good community story, we're highlighting the resilience and community spirit of Charlotte residents, who continue to support local businesses and initiatives.
Moving on to today's crime report, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is investigating various incidents, but we don't have specific updates from the past 24 hours to share at this time. We remind everyone to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
Finally, in health news, Mecklenburg County is monitoring COVID-19 cases, with the SARS-CoV-2 virus detected in wastewater samples. The county is also promoting the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine, emphasizing the importance of vaccination for everyone aged 6 months and older[4].
