Good morning, Rock Hill.

Rock Hill held its Independence Day celebration on July 4th with over 12,000 attendees gathering downtown for live music, children's activities, food vendors and a fireworks display that began at 8:45 p.m.—residents praised the festive atmosphere.

Residents in Fort Mill have voiced strong opposition to Silfab Solar’s new manufacturing plant on Logistics Lane because of past safety violations and concerns over chemical use near Flint Hill Elementary School—recent stop work orders and a July 2 hearing with about 100 attendees have heightened community alarm. York County officials are reviewing the wastewater permit while some families consider moving due to potential health risks.

Dice—a three-year-old Shih Tzu—was lost at a Rock Hill gas station in September 2024 when he jumped from a vehicle, and his Florida family felt relief on Tuesday morning when a local veterinarian scanned his microchip and identified him.

The reunion ends a nine-month search and shows the importance of pet microchips for safe return.

A driver died early Thursday morning after losing control of their Ford SUV, overturning and striking a ditch on Hord Road near Sharon — the highway patrol is investigating the crash.

An Indian Land family saw their home destroyed by lightning last Friday—Natasha Thomas, her four children and their dogs escaped before the flames spread while neighbors helped as Army veteran John Thomas lost part of his military collection and the family braces for up to a nine-month rebuild.
