NC voters share why they like early voting
SUMMARY: I chose to vote early to avoid long lines and ensure my civic duty was fulfilled without issues. Voting early is easier and less crowded, making it a more enjoyable experience. I wanted to prevent any traffic delays and had the time to complete the process comfortably. Making sure my voice was heard was important to me, and voting early guaranteed my vote would count. Ultimately, the convenience of early voting motivated my decision, as I wanted to streamline the process without the hassle of waiting on Election Day, even opting to vote during my lunch break.
As of Friday, November 1, 43.2% of registered voters have cast their ballots in the 2024 Presidential Election in North Carolina. Early voting ends on Saturday, November 2.

Microsoft spends $26.85 million on 1,385 acres of land in Person County
SUMMARY: Microsoft has acquired 1,300 acres at a mega site north of Roxboro, North Carolina, for $26 million, marking one of the largest land deals in the county’s history. Economic development officials have been collaborating with Microsoft for over a year on this transaction, which could bring jobs to the rural area with a current unemployment rate of 3.4%. While details about the site’s purpose and job creation remain unclear, local residents hope it will boost employment opportunities, as many currently commute to nearby cities for work. The land is part of a strategic effort to attract major corporate investments in North Carolina.
The tech giant paid at least $26.85 million for about 1,385 acres in Woodsdale Township, according to county property records.
