GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Rep. Todd Carver attended a forum on March 28 hosted by Mitchell Community College, Iredell Ready, and myFutureNC to update locals on North Carolina’s progress toward having 2 million skilled workers by 2030. The forum showed skilled workers rose from 1.45 million in 2019 to 1.66 million in 2023—while Iredell County is on track, 43% of residents ages 25 to 44 still lack credentials—so more effort is needed to boost the labor force.  Iredell Free News

The committee, which includes 29 members led by Public Library director Juli Moore, is updating the county’s Heritage book series (backed by a $10,000 grant) with new and revised family histories.  Mooresville Tribune

HEALTH NEWS

  • Patients beginning therapy at Iredell Psychiatry will have a session that covers personal history, mental health goals, and a clear discussion about the treatment plan.
