Housing Crunch Hits Spring: The housing market is effectively pausing for many buyers as a “freeze” collides with record prices and higher mortgage rates, leaving foot traffic and deals stuck in neutral. Local Housing Moves: Hendersonville is hosting a 2026 Housing Summit May 27, while FG Communities just completed an acquisition of an affordable manufactured-housing community there. Energy & Utilities Tension: Duke Energy’s solar procurement was reportedly halted by a Utilities Commission order, and residents in Davidson County are pushing back hard on proposed natural gas plants—raising transparency and health concerns. Tech in Healthcare: TrackStat launched “Jaz,” an AI receptionist that plugs into chiropractic/physical therapy EHRs to handle missed calls and scheduling. Business & Growth: OrthoCarolina is expanding ambulatory surgery capacity in Charlotte; G6 Hospitality is adding 18 Studio 6 Plus properties across the Southeast including North Carolina. Public Health Watch: Spring & Mulberry expanded a salmonella-related chocolate recall to all product lines.
