The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools board is getting closer to voting on its upcoming district goals for academic achievement for the next four years.For weeks, the board has debated on what goals the district should set out to both challenge the district and have a guiding light to shape board directives that are student-focused. Every five years, CMS centers itself around new goals and guardrails that can range from increasing literacy among elementary school students to ensuring a safe environment for its students at school activities. CMS Superintendent Crystal Hill made a final recommendation on four goals for the 2024 through 2029 school years. First, students in kindergarten through second grade scoring at or above grade level in early literacy will go from 67% to 91% by 2029.

The South Knoxville waterfront and nearby neighborhoods don't need a pedestrian bridge for growth. Substantial changes have been happening for years, and the city recently hired consultants to identify the next opportunities for growth along the river. The findings include a "statement piece" east of the Gay Street bridge akin to the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga or the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. Knox News journalists Ryan Wilusz and visual Brianna Paciorka discuss what a statement piece could look like, including their ideas for a museum showcasing the Southeastern Conference and an outdoor adventure park bridging downtown with the Urban Wilderness.  "The Scruffy Stuff" is presented by knoxnews.com.

On the local news roundup: Charlotte City Council passes its budget without raising taxes. Still, you'll pay more. Mecklenburg County passes its budget with a tax increase. Yes, you'll pay more. And sports betting becomes legal in North Carolina. Those stories and more.

On the local news roundup, Mecklenburg County sends signals that you can probably expect a property tax hike. Charlotte City Council votes against asking you for four-year terms. And a new proposal for an international tennis tournament in Charlotte. Those stories and more.

Leaders from the city of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County held a joint meeting Wednesday to discuss a proposed $400 million development that would bring a major tennis facility to the River District in west Charlotte. "Project Break Point" includes four tennis stadiums with seating capacities that range from 2,000 seats to 14,000 seats, as well as numerous practice courts across 50 acres. In total, the project would have more than 40 total tennis courts and an amphitheater for outdoor concerts and a pickleball venue. Beemok Capital, the firm behind the proposal, also considered several sites from the complex, including Eastland Yards, but ultimately landed on the River District due to its proximity to Charlotte Douglas International Airport and a larger plot of land.READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/local/charlotte-north-carolina-tennis-complex-professional-stadium-river-district-mecklenburg-county/275-adce2d66-70b5-47aa-8303-3a1b2a9802c0

At JCH, Tara oversees the real estate development activities of the company, manages corporate and project strategy, project selection and financial relationships for the development of residential, commercial, and mixed-use urban redevelopment projects. She has been directly responsible for or participated in the development of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of mixed-use and mixed-income development projects throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, and Missouri. Tara is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge MA with a Master of Science Degree in Real Estate Development and a graduate of Loyola University with a degree in Finance. She is a ULI Trustee and  also serves in Board leadership roles for the PORT of New Orleans, Greater New Orleans, Inc and The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and Foundation, Ochsner Health Foundation, and the Idea Village.In this episode, Tara and I discuss her career and how she got started in development field, her love of New Orleans, how she's approached development deals there, and she also tells us all about her upcoming project, the River District and how it will transform the City of New Orleans. Memorable moments:15:08 My next project in 2023 is a 40-acre tract of vacant land that's been sitting on the river for a very long time at the edge of the convention center. The convention center owns the land, and our team of developers were selected. We're literally building a new neighborhood. A brand-new neighborhood on the river called the River District. Next to a million square feet convention center and Mardi Gras World, right at the edge of downtown, on a very high traffic street. It will be a mix of apartments, condos, office, hotel, and entertainment for both sports and cultural museums. I like to call it, "Take Me to the River, It's Where You Want To Be."20:31 I happened to be the vice chair of the New Orleans, Jazz and Heritage Festival and Foundation, it basically is the Foundation that owns the Jazz Fest, and WWOZ Radio Station. The proceeds from the Jazz Fest, we do a lot of community programming, including grants to the community, and one of those programs is a free music school for kids. I volunteered and supervised the development of a performance space for them with different music rooms and a recording studio. And when those kids walked in the door the first time, and saw that the space was for them, it was just amazing just to see the smiles on their faces. That's one of my most rewarding development projects.29:23 I'm sure this is applicable to in many jurisdictions, I would say, but be especially because you could be negotiating, and then suddenly, there's a new mayor, a new council member, or something like that. You absolutely must have good relationships and your projects have to stand for themselves. You must have advocates that can toot your horn when you're not in the room. It has to be a win-win for everybody.Connect with Nancy:Instagram:https://instagram.com/nancysurakLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancysurak/Website: www.nancysurak.comConnect with Tara:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tara-hernandez-0093325/Website: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tara-hernandez-0093325/She's Wild Sound Production by: Luke Surak, Surak Productions:  surakproductions@gmail.com

California's homelessness crisis deepens in the face of spiking coronavirus cases and dropping temperatures, yet we just can't seem to get it together to take care of one another. Sacramento listeners may remember the city's push to protect some 100 residents experiencing homelessness by buying an old hotel on Bercut Drive in the River District. But a truly awful developer who was building a luxury apartment complex across the street decided to sue the city to stop the humanitarian effort. And the business district followed suit. Luckily for the capitalists the project has been halted, but not because of their lawsuits. The city came up against in the appraisal process. Meanwhile, high-risk populations in Sacramento and beyond continue to face the possibility of eviction. On a lighter note, it appears that the biggest losers in California elections were the police and prison guard unions. They threw millions upon millions of dollars against candidates calling for police reforms--and they came up short. Here in Sacramento, every founding member of Sac Take the Pledge who was running for office, won. Now state legislators are taking note. Is California in store for a year of unprecedented police and prison reforms?

Today's top headlines: Kemp: Emergency declaration in effect until July 12. Summer school, overnight camps, pro sports practices OK'd; bars open Monday. Groups of 25 or more allowed. Positive cases in Northwest Georgia hits 1,006, up 62% since April 30. State death toll at 1,973, up 80% in a month. It will top 2,000 by late Friday or Saturday. GBI: Cartersville man, 55, charged with possession and distribution of child pornography as part of Bartow County Sheriff's Office investigation. Politics: Advance voting for the primaries this Saturday only, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Ware Mechanical Weather Center: Low 80s all weekend with rain, storms possible today and Saturday. Sunday looks perfect. Truett's Chick-fil-A Sports Update: High school association offers some clarity as conditioning resumes a week from Monday. RANT OF THE DAY: Doubling down on downtown. As temperature checks are part of today's pandemic lifestyle, let's do one on downtown Rome: The issue of the hour is whether to let customers stroll about with drinks in hand, suggested again as a way to help reeling restaurants even as more of them resume something close to normal operation. Look for a June 8 City Commission vote. There have been some surprise closings but also openings, including John Henry's Grill and Tortaco (pending in Magretta Hall). The River District's zoning has been flipped to encourage development and at least one serious entrepreneur has taken the bait. There's major competition brewing, with ample parking, where Kmart once stood. East Bend is still happening, a cinder block at a time. And then there's an overall pandemic recovery, especially with downtown Saturday events 0 for 1 on the 2020 season with another due next week. So what's the temperature? Not exactly 98.6 degrees -- but neither is it at serious fever level yet. With the resignation of the downtown director in hand, the city has a crucial hire to make if it wants Broad Street to evolve. We can't afford to fumble this one -- and the City Commission needs to be involved right from the start. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-druckenmiller/support

Public Safety Committee meeting: Police, fire calls way down in March because of sheltering-in-place. Concerns about social distancing. RANT OF THE DAY: A new information source? Maybe. The pandemic has forced many of us to do things we never tried before. From church leaders suddenly embracing Facebook Live to independent restaurants successfully converting to curbside service, we've had to learn things on the fly in recent months. And we're not done yet. For governments, from city and county commissioners to governor's office, Facebook Live and Zoom have become critical assets. The same for the business world and even politics. As we'll see again later this evening, the herd of hopefuls for the 14th Congressional District will appear on computer screens for two hours while we watch who's Zoomin' who. It all comes down to a ton of new content delivered a different way. We wonder: Is there something more we could be doing with all this, even after we ease up a bit on social distancing? But the bigger question is this: How do we tie the community into all this? Is there a away to expand citizen participation in daily government -- and community life -- with all these Zoom meetings, church and prayer services, chamber business education seminars and such? We're about to find out. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-druckenmiller/support

Many people have no idea that some of history’s most famous scientists and businessmen like Edison Ford (the inventor of the lightbulb), and Henry Ford called Fort Myers home.  Still, like so many of America’s downtowns, it became somewhat of a ghost town. But not anymore. This part of Fort Myers has gone through a major revival over the last 5 years.  Learn about some of the things going on downtown Fort Myers, and why this former underdog is the new place to be.

Recently, Rome's city commissioners and senior staff members held an 11-hour planning retreat to discuss community issues and what's next. The retreat was held at the Courtyard Rome Riverwalk on West Third Street, fitting perhaps as that area -- part of the River District -- was among the key topics discussed that day. City commissioners Wendy Davis and Craig McDaniel joined us on The Druck Report to share some of the key points from the retreat. Those topics included: Upgrading the corridors into the city, including the Martha Berry entrance and the hotels fronting it. Creating a thriving River Walk, similar to Greenville and Columbus, to enhance tourism and economic growth. Adopting "urban mixed use" zoning to the West Third/Fifth Avenue district to support development, including healthcare as well as restaurants and other development. Recrafting the city/county development code to embrace, not chase growth. Targeting ways to keep young adults and attract young families to our community. About this podcast: City commissioners Wendy Davis and Craig McDaniel joined us at Brand Red Studios in downtown Rome to talk about Rome's future and what's next.

We agree it is hard to get excited about a nearly 12-hour City Commission planning retreat. But given the tone and direction coming out of the Courtyard Rome Riverwalk last Thursday, we agree with a one-word assessment from one of the commissioners: "Progress!" A River Walk, the River District, downtown Rome and a long list of other topics got serious attention -- with the commissioners in turn giving City Manager Sammy Rich a packed to-do list. You can thank city voters for making it happen. There was a message in the November elections that saw two new commissioners and a third returning to the board after a few decades. With several incumbents joining the new blood team, you could almost feel a change of attitude. We quote from City Commissioner Mark Cochran's Facebook page in a post immediately after Thursday's planning retreat: "It’s not an exaggeration to say that the city you knew yesterday, philosophically no longer exist. Today was a watershed moment for the City of Rome. Possibly the most important day this city has had in a generation. "Big changes are coming ... today was a great day." Amen to that. And now tomorrow looks a whole lot better, too. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-druckenmiller/support

Architect Mark Cochran of Cevian Design Lab likes to design and help build things. You've seen his projects across Northwest Georgia, either new structures or restored historical gems that never looked better. As a newly elected city commissioner, Cochran likewise has some huge ideas about Rome. He wants to blend the community's storied past and untapped resources to help shape an economic hub that attracts both young professionals and visitors anxious to explore amenities not found in metro Atlanta. In a 48-minute interview with Hometown Headlines' John Druckenmiller, Cochran talks about Broad Street as well as the River District and a combined potential for more than $300 million in growth. He believes a river walk similar to those in Chattanooga and Greenville, S.C., will be key to making Rome a destination again. As for economic development, Cochran says while hunting for large manufacturers works for the I-75 communities, Rome instead needs to target tech and similar companies independent of highways and interstate access. Another goal, he says, is a way to bridge our abundant healthcare and higher education institutions to create another option for growth.

It's called the River District, along North Fifth Avenue from Broad Street and sandwiched mostly by Turner McCall Boulevard and Second Avenue on the other side of the Oostanaua. If plans hold up, the River District will be the buzz district as local planners work with property and business owners to turn the area into a shopping and entertainment district. Artagus Newell, planning director of Rome Floyd County, and Brice Wood, associate planner, joined Hometown Headlines' John Druckenmiller to discuss changes coming to the River District just across the Oostanaula from downtown and Broad Street. They talked about the new urban mixed use zoning designation proposed for the district, a necessity that will spur development without some of the red tape reserved for areas in historic districts and such. As Wood pointed out, property owners will be able to maximize use of their land in terms of lot lines and parking. Among the goals for the River District is to "maximize density" as well as increasing foot traffic for merchants. Tie-ins are key to the River District's success, from the expanding trail networks to events at Barron Stadium, the tennis courts, meetings at the Courtyard and families visiting patients at Floyd Medical Center. Some of the pioneers of the redevelopment push across the river were noted, including River City Bank, Barron Stadium and later The Foundry Growler Bar and Courtyard Rome Riverwalk. The latest projects are a restaurant by Kevin Dillmon on West Thursday Street where work is well under way. Likewise coming together is a storefront on Fifth Avenue owned by Ginny and Doc Kibler. Sunflour Community Bakery is now open at 500 Avenue A and MakerVillage was the home to Harbin Clinic Gallery's latest exhibit saluting Charles Wimpee, a late-in-life folk artist. The largest project under consideration is Wayne Robinson's The District adjacent to the Courtyard. Valued at more than $20 million, plans call for retail on the ground floor followed by apartments and then condominiums. Artagus and Brice joined us in the River District -- at the offices of Brand Red Studios, 4 Bale St. off Fifth Avenue in downtown Rome.

MODE by Wesgroup is a 25-story building consisting of 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom condos starting at $499,900. Located in River District, a stunning masterplan community on 130 acres in Southeast Vancouver. With MODE, the emphasis is on value from the building’s top notch finishes to amazing amenities, including: chef kitchens, family dining areas, a surround sound cinema, fitness centre, hot tub, workhub space and private board rooms. River District is highly sought after due to its Vancouver address combined with its ease of access to the downtown core or the surrounding suburbs. Wesgroup is fully invested in developing this masterplan community which includes retail, restaurants, grocery stores, a school, daycares and an amazing new community centre with a full sized soccor field!  

Real estate takes visionaries: people who can look at 130 acres of industrial land on the bank of the Fraser River and envision a community with 15,000+ residents, a town centre with over 250,000 square feet of retail space, 25 acres of green space, and 1.5 kilometers of bike and hiking paths. This type of large-scale community – Southeast Vancouver’s River District – does not just appear over night but rather takes decades of careful planning, major infrastructure, and negotiations with multiple stakeholders over time. And perhaps more surprising than the daily building challenges is what the process tells us about ourselves - as consumers, as urban dwellers, and as a city and culture in constant flux. Wesgroup’s VP of Development Brad Jones sits down with Adam and Matt to discuss the half way point of this 40-year endeavor, a career-defining labour of love, and the intricacies that go into planning a community so many will call home.
