A 16-year-old girl in a group home met with Guilford County Animal Services today as Children's Home Society arranged a visit to help her find an adoptive family.
She said she is caring and loyal—hoping to become a veterinarian and build a loving home while enjoying shopping, TikTok, and movies.
🚧 Accidents
High Point firefighters said two team members nearly died in a house fire when non-working smoke alarms failed to operate—prompting the union to stress the need for regular safety checks in homes.
Contractors working for Duke Energy were involved in a deadly crash in Eden on Thursday afternoon at the intersection of Church Street and Carroll Street — the Rockingham County Government reported fatalities and Duke Energy said it is working with law enforcement to investigate the incident.
💼 Business
JetZero, a California-based airplane company, is considering Piedmont Triad International Airport for its future factory that will create over 10,000 jobs at full production—its decision is expected in the near term, within weeks.
The project would add to a growing aeronautics manufacturing hub in the Triad.
📰 Economy
ABC45 tracked price changes on 20 everyday items and found that bread & milk prices have jumped while gas & fuel costs rose, putting pressure on local families in High Point.
