Last update: 9 hours ago

Fed Watch: The Senate is set to confirm Trump pick Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve chair, after a Justice Department probe into Jerome Powell was dropped—raising stakes for markets already dealing with stubborn inflation. Local Economy & Growth: Charlotte’s uptown office momentum continues as Choreo signs a 15,619-square-foot lease at One South, joining a broader wave of new leasing. Water Pressure: Water costs are rising faster than inflation, and bills are climbing as utilities scramble for new supplies amid extreme weather. Public Safety & Schools: Haywood County’s property tax hike is being split in a way that heavily favors jail funding, while education gets a smaller slice—prompting renewed pressure for more school money. Health Alert: Raw pet food sold online is recalled nationwide over possible salmonella contamination. Tech & Infrastructure: Greensboro council members are now pushing back on data center risks after previously approving the concept—demanding more transparency before more projects move forward.
