Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 1st of January.
Good morning, Greenville.
🏘️ Community
Greenville held its Noon Year’s Eve celebration (a family-friendly event) last Wednesday at Five Points Plaza after shifting the event from Town Common due to construction.
The daytime party featured police and fire displays and emerald exhibits, with locals saying they hope to see it become a lasting tradition.
🌲 Environment
Researchers from the U.S., South Korea, Germany, and Ireland found that as global temperatures rise, areas that typically get heavy rains may see extra rain — while drier areas face increased drought and fire risks later this century.
The study calls for global readiness to address these shifts.
🏛️ Government
The City completed the sixth of 32 covered bus shelters for GREAT bus stops with funding appropriated in Oct.
2024 + more installations are planned to boost transit services.
🏥 Health
A local family held a blood drive on Christmas Eve to honor their son (lost to cancer) by collecting donations from community volunteers.
The event celebrated his memory and supported a critical health need in town.
🏈 Sports
Greenville native Dazia Lawrence, now playing professional basketball in France, keeps her roots strong by returning often to visit her grandma in Pitt County.
Her journey from high school and college ball to an overseas career shows that home still matters.
