TALKING POINTS
A business boom at this busy Indian Land intersection continues. Up next, The Arches [Marks/The Herald]. A double gateway into Indian Land continues its transformation, this time with new commercial properties aimed squarely at it. The county planning commission will meet April 7. That group will see early plans for The Arches, which would bring new business to a spot where traffic from Fort Mill to the west and Charlotte to the north converge in the Lancaster County panhandle.
‘We need more volunteers’: Indian Land Fire Rescue feeling the heat of more people in the area [Speaks/Fox 46]. Volunteer firefighters historically have been the backbone of fire departments, particularly in smaller towns and rural areas like Indian Land. But as the county’s population grows, so does the need for first responders, which only makes the call for volunteers mean more now than in the last decade.
Soccer complexes, IL Rec upgrades taking shape [Summers/Lancaster News]. The two new county-owned recreation complexes should be ready to go by October, with updates to a third facility completed by the start of the new school year.
Union County seeing rapid growth, leading to new development [WCNC]. Cuthbertson Road is just one area of Waxhaw that is seeing significant change, which is concerning some longtime residents. Data shows more than 150,000 people have moved to Union County in North Carolina over the past three decades, and county leaders said there are no signs that the trend will slow down anytime soon.
Sanitation worker receives gifts and encouragement after breaking both legs on the job [WSOC]. Value Waste employee Ramon “Ray” Fernandez received hundreds of dollars in cash, gift cards, and personal notes this weekend from neighbors from Vineyards on Lake Wylie after breaking both his legs while working his normal route in an Indian Land neighborhood.
Business making Monopoly games based on Carolina towns [Baldeck/Fox 46]. A new craze has hit one Union County community as a new board game has shown up in stores. This game is all about the town. Waxhawopoly is self-explanatory. It’s a monopoly-style game all about Waxhaw, but Milton Bradley and the Hasbro Parker Brothers aren’t behind this version.
