Good morning, Rock Hill.

Rock Hill’s Hooters closed today as part of a national restructuring that shifts the chain to a franchise model—over 30 Hooters restaurants have closed nationwide as the company, which filed for bankruptcy in March, works to support affected team members and thank loyal customers.

York County residents have their park entrance fees waived—officials announced the policy change—and can now visit local parks without charge.

On Monday, June 9, the Rock Hill City Council met and recognized local police cadets, athlete Khamoni Rockeymore-Crews, and a long-serving finance team member—while discussing appointments and reviewing key agenda items.

The council approved the York Highway annexation, a zoning change for Park Pointe Village, the Baxter Mill site recertification, property disposition by sale, and a Community Development Block Grant plan with final allocations, and also announced utility bill credit winners.

Rock Hill native Senior Chief Petty Officer Matthew Wilson shapes the next generation of Navy recruiters at the Navy Recruiting Orientation Unit in Pensacola by teaching over 3,500 future sailors vital skills in sales and ethics.

He earned a business management degree from Post University in 2025 and uses values from his hometown—instilling respect and honesty in his classes.

On June 11th the City of Rock Hill received a grant from the S.C.R.I.A. for repairs and replacement of key infrastructure — city officials say the project will update public works and support ongoing improvements.
