Triad Summary
Full Transcript
West Friendly Avenue in Greensboro was temporarily closed at Jefferson Road due to a crash with injuries, impacting traffic in the area. As the holiday shopping season surges in the Triad, shoppers are reminded by law enforcement to stay vigilant in crowded stores and parking lots, emphasizing safety tips to avoid incidents.
Weather-related closures have led to split decisions among Triad school districts, with some opting for remote learning while others have canceled classes altogether. In Guilford County, county commissioners are considering incentives for 'Project Superman,' which could create 131 jobs.
However, the region is also facing challenges, as over 130 jobs will be lost following the closures of Precision Concepts and 10 Roads Express just weeks before Christmas. Additionally, a Forsyth County man, Tahlyk Martez Neal, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, receiving a sentence of 160 to 204 months for the shooting death of Casey Goolsby.
Community efforts are evident as a Greensboro grandmother received a new HVAC unit just in time for winter, thanks to Berico's annual charity initiative. Meanwhile, ICE agents have reportedly resumed operations in North Carolina, with reports of arrests in the Triad area, raising concerns among immigrant advocacy groups like Siembra NC.
