Good morning, Rock Hill.
🏘️ Community
Rock Hill mourns the loss of Bobby 'B.S.' Plair, Sr., a 98-year-old musician and WWII veteran who passed away on November 23.
His funeral service is set for 11 a.m. Saturday, November 29 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church—friends and family will gather to remember his legacy in music and military service.
📰 Economy
A Winthrop Poll shows South Carolina shoppers will spend an average of $1,007 on holiday gifts this season — with lower-income households planning to spend less and higher-income households expecting more — which may help local businesses in Rock Hill.
Consumer spending remains steady as residents plan their holiday purchases.
🏛️ Government
The North Carolina Department of Transportation announced plans for a $3.2 billion project that will add express lanes along 11 miles of I-77 — from the South Carolina line to Uptown Charlotte — to ease heavy traffic from over 160,000 daily vehicles.
Officials engaged over 800 residents in more than 25 public meetings since January — an effort to gather community input while construction is expected to begin in the coming years.
