Coverage takes in Charlotte city hall and the Mecklenburg County commission, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and the banking, technology and logistics employers that anchor one of the Southeast's major economies. From Uptown and Dilworth to NoDa, Plaza-Midwood and Myers Park, neighborhood reporting runs through the city and extends into Cabarrus County, Gaston County, Union County and Iredell County where a story crosses the line. The Carolina Panthers, Charlotte Hornets and Charlotte FC each generate stadium, franchise and public investment decisions that appear regularly on the city and county government agendas. Charlotte's position as the country's second-largest banking center gives financial services a weight in local economic news that shapes employment, real estate and regulatory debates across the entire metropolitan area.
