Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Thursday, July 10, 2025.

We wake up this morning after severe storms swept through Charlotte last night, causing flash flooding in several neighborhoods, power outages across the metro, and delays at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Crews are still working to restore power, especially in parts of Myers Park and east Charlotte. Showers are lingering, so if you’re heading out, keep an umbrella handy. Temperatures hover in the mid-70s with scattered clouds through the afternoon. More rain is possible, so stay alert for updates if you have outdoor plans.

Stepping into our local headlines, big news for Charlotte’s economy as both AssetMark Financial Holdings and Citigroup have announced major investments in our city. AssetMark is bringing a new East Coast hub right into uptown, adding over 250 jobs and investing $10 million. Meanwhile, Citigroup’s new technology office will create more than 500 jobs with an average salary north of $130,000. Governor Josh Stein praised Charlotte for its deep talent pool and vibrant business community. These moves reaffirm our status as a financial powerhouse and are expected to ripple across the local job market, from hospitality to retail.

For those seeking new opportunities, there’s a surge in openings this week, from branch operations and software development to support roles in manufacturing and finance. UNC Charlotte is also recruiting for several part-time and internship positions, offering flexible career paths for students and professionals alike.

From City Hall, the Board of County Commissioners approved a $200,000 sponsorship for the NAACP National Convention, which kicks off this Saturday at the Charlotte Convention Center. This event will draw thousands to explore civil rights, attend forums, and enjoy cultural programming through July 16. Mecklenburg County is using the opportunity to highlight our community as an inclusive and dynamic place to live and work.

Turning to community happenings, this Sunday marks the 3rd Annual Queen City Coolerfest at Romare Bearden Park, featuring live music, food trucks, and family fun from 3 to 10 p.m. As always, expect some traffic near South Mint Street and plan accordingly. Also, congratulations to the Solid Waste team for winning the first-ever Crown Award from Charlotte Water for pollution prevention at the Foxhole landfill, a point of pride for environmental stewardship in southern Mecklenburg.

On the sports front, local high schools wrapped up summer league play with Myers Park High’s baseball program notching another tournament win. And on the feel-good front, volunteers from Roof Above and several local churches teamed up this week, delivering meals and supplies to neighbors affected by last night’s storms—a reminder of Charlotte’s caring spirit.

Finally, our crime report remains focused on safety. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police responded to several weather-related accidents overnight, but there were no serious injuries or major incidents reported. Officers remind everyone to avoid flooded roads and watch for downed power lines.
