The headquarters for Charlotte’s new Major League Soccer team will no longer be at the old Eastland Mall site, changing plans made earlier this year. We’ll dig into the details on what this means for the new team, Tepper Sports and for the Carolina Panthers.

The city announced new safety reforms for CMPD this week, and also made some movement on a plan to help redevelop Brookhill Village in Charlotte. We’ll have an update on those and other City Council actions.

CMS discussed how the new spike in COVID-19 cases will affect in-person classes for students scheduled to start next week.
