I miss the small town feeling Lincolnton had.so many farms turned to multi family homes. The retail stores & what are left of the grocery stores are constantly burdened with inventory depletion, Try traversing 150/73 Main Street during 5pm . Small side roads like Car Farm Road & Shuford are constantly congested with semi trucks taking short cuts on these roads . Schools, emergency services , retail stores , social services are all overburdened due to the extreme explosion of incoming residents. No shortages of Dollar General stores as they seem to be built within 3-4 miles of each other
Thank you Tim for sharing your great points. And you gave me the opening to share with others that the speed limits on Car Farm and Shuford are 35 MPH and 45 MPH in different sections of those roads respectively. Too many treat these two-lane roads to get to 321 or 150 like it is a high-speed interstate.
They also utilize Bethel Church Rd as a bypass . I didn't care for the new location of the hospital as Bethel Church Road is utilized now as a superhighway to get around the excessive traffic thru town . Not what invisioned when I purchased my property several years ago. I understand progress , don't have to like it, but everything grows unfortunately.
Another great point - I hear you on Bethel Church.
The fraud and payouts during Covid were astronomical. We saw temp agencies staffing NC unemployment offices. Billions of dollars no doubt were paid out among the United States. F course, Medicaid is a thorn still, as recently there was a huge case in Charlotte with 3 individuals that milked millions from that department.
This accident was not in the Lowesville area. It was on the Lincolnton/Hickory Hwy (Killian rd) off the Reepsville rd. Need to get facts straight before posting news artcle.
Crime victims have no rights in Lincoln County. My wife was assaulted while working at Atrium and the man who assaulted her was never charged or even interviewed. By the way I was a deputy for Bill Beam when this occurred.
The plane did not crash no were near Denver get it right!
