Good morning, Fayetteville. Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 18th of July.
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Child care costs and long waitlists at Fort Bragg keep many military spouses from working, as 68% of surveyed spouses said childcare is their top barrier. Federal programs under the National Defense Authorization Act will expand affordable off-base care—local leaders must address understaffed centers to support military readiness. The Fayetteville Observer
- ➤ FEMA cancelled over $18 million in funds for flood prevention projects in Fayetteville, including replacing the closed East Russell Street bridge and improving Blounts Creek — delaying important works. North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson and attorneys general from 19 states sued FEMA and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Wednesday to force the money’s return — local officials say that without the grants, taxpayers may bear extra costs.
