Good morning, Huntersville.
🏘️ Community
The Huntersville Happy Hour Rotary Club received a matching grant of $3,000 to help support Hope House, which gives temporary shelter to women facing hardship.

🏛️ Government
Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation received a ParkScore of 39.6 out of 100 from the Trust for Public Land for 2025, and the county said its low population density & limited pedestrian access contributed to the lower ranking.
The department will refresh its master plan and work with community partners to improve park access in the coming years.
