NY couple brings their bagel shop to Indian Land + Jim Wilson and Kensington get much-needed attention
June 11, 2021
Happy Friday everyone!
Since we sent our last newsletter, we have announced four new businesses that are coming to the Indian Land area via our Instagram. If you don’t follow us, please do at @untapindianland.
Goodwill has broken ground on their new location next to the Indian Land Rec Center, West End Bagels will open their doors this fall (see story below), Jekyll & Hyde Taphouse is coming to Waxhaw on Main Street, and Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers have broken ground on their new location at Commons at Dobys Bridge. See photos in our Instagram section below.
More people = more businesses = more traffic = the need for road repair. See our story below on the major construction happening on Jim Wilson Rd. and Kensington Dr. We will all have a smoother ride soon!
If you like what you are reading, please share with a friend! Have a great weekend!

FEATURES
NY couple will bring their bagel shop to Indian Land this fall
A new bagel shop is coming to Indian Land this September. Expect fresh, made from scratch bagels and homemade cream cheese.
Jim Wilson Rd. and Kensington Dr. are getting some much-needed attention
One road divided by state lines is scheduled for major construction after becoming increasingly dangerous.
Jim Wilson and Kensington roads are one continuous road divided by the N.C. and S.C. state lines. Due to the rapid growth of neighborhoods and increased through traffic, both roads are in desperate need of repair. Thousands of people take the bumpy ride to and from Waxhaw, N.C., and Lancaster, S.C. every day. Each state has sections of potholes that have become increasingly dangerous.
TALKING POINTS

SC paper mill now facing third lawsuit over unhealthy emissions [Boraks/WFAE]. A South Carolina paper mill is now facing a third federal lawsuit from neighbors.

Like the two previous suits, this one seeks class-action status and at least $5 million in damages from the company. It also wants the plant shut down until the problem is fixed.
‘It’s illegal to accept a duel’: Wacky South Carolina laws that are still in place [Luna/WBTW]. You’re a law-abiding citizen… as far as you know. But did you know about these wacky South Carolina laws that are still in place?
Developers hope apartments near downtown Indian Trail sway light rail alignment [Riopko/The Weekly]. The 26-mile Silver Line will connect Matthews to uptown Charlotte, but the Charlotte Area Transit System has also discussed an extension into Union County from Central Piedmont Community College's Levine Campus in Matthews. The Moser Group wants to create a hotspot so dense and walkable near downtown Indian Trail that staff and planners can use it to influence that tip of the Silver Line's alignment.
