Regional economic outlook remains bright

BY DAVE YOCHUM Despite devastating hurricanes and uncertainty around international trade, the regional economy appears to be going strong as we approach the final quarter of 2019.

The Charlotte region—home to a growing array of financial and technology firms—is driving much of the state’s growth, which is increasingly concentrated in professional and business services, financial activities, healthcare and technology.

Charlotte added nearly 100 people a day in 2018, a reflection of a dynamic, diverse economy.

Meanwhile, more than 25 firms announced major expansions or relocations. Honeywell is relocating its corporate headquarters here

from New Jersey, Avid Exchange announced plans to essentially double its workforce and Carvana announced a major expansion into Cabarrus last month.

The Great Recession hit North Carolina’s financial services and manufacturing sectors particularly hard, according to Wells Fargo economists. North Carolina took longer to recover and generally lagged behind the nation through the first four years of the recovery.

From July 2018 to July 2019 the state added over 75,000 jobs, at a rate slightly ahead of the nation.

Indeed, the state’s economy continSee Economy page 8

Home builders do good, tackle labor issues at same time Charlotte-based Rebuilding Opportunities in Construction (ROC) has partnered with the Lake Norman Home Builders Association, Central Piedmont Community College, Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools and Goodwill to bring construction technology training to at-risk high school students.

ROC students start the program in their junior year and receive skills training in advanced carpentry, electrical and HVAC, as well as other construction-related fields.

The students receive dual high school and college credits and can finish their associate degree at CPCC, free of charge.

“For the past 30 years, high school districts have not operated any meaningful construction career and technical apprenticeship programs,” said Darren Ash, executive director of The ROC, which partners with Goodwill.

WamBam Fence, founded in LKN,has huge sales jump A local company started by a pair of Huntersville entrepreneurs has landed on Inc. Magazine’s list of America’s fastest growing companies. Landing at 1,562 out of 5,000 companies, WamBam Fence was in 2,000 square feet of warehouse space on Bailey Road in Cornelius.

The company now has 18 employees and revenue in excess of $7 million a year.

Co-founders Denise Shields and Stephen Prins live in Huntersville with their own families. “Some assume we are married but we are definitely not,” Shields explains.

Their company, which relocated to Lake Norman from Canada about 10 years ago, makes a professional grade fence product that do-it-yourselfers can assemble without digging holes or pouring concrete. It’s less expensive than the fencing available at the big box stores.

They were in Cornelius from 2009 to 2018, but ended up on Reames Road, just south of the Northlake mall after their third-party logistics provider had financial difficulties.

Background Their no-dig fence offers an easier and quicker way to install. In fact, the system is patent. A dig-less internal fence post relies on a “leveling donut” to adjust it as needed, until the DIY-er is ready to sleeve over it with a visible fence post.

They ship directly to homeowners across the country. The flagship WamBam Fence line is sold exclusively through wambamfence.com, eliminating the mark-up at bix box stores.“We are small, creative company, completely focused on serving our customers and having fun,” Shields says.

The challenge Their third-party logistics company—they handled warehousing for WamBam—was going out of business.

“We had one week to find a new place for our product—and there was a lot of it,” Shields says.

“We knew it was time to jump into our own warehousing so we had to find a 50,000 square-foot building that was ready to be moved into in literally five days,” she explains.

Availability was extremely slim around Exits 23, 25 and 28.

Their new building near Exit 18 didn’t displace employees too badly as most live at the lake.

“It all boiled down to quick availability, and of course a reasonable price,” Shields says.

She credits employees for making a difference - “exceptional teamwork in our office and warehouse, our entire team is focused.”

Warrior Dash business failure presents obstacle for Rural Hill COCKER SPANIEL ON THE OUTSIDE, BULLDOG ON THE INSIDE.

KNOWS THE RIGHT BUTTONS TO PUSH

Forbes magazine’s 18th “most promising” company in 2015 has taken a fatal spill, leaving a local non-profit out more than $30,000.

Chicago-based Red Frog Events owes Rural Hill Inc., the non-profit entity that operates and works to preserve the historic farm in Huntersville, more than $30,000 from the Warrior Dash that was held there in early June.

Red Frog was an events management behemoth noteworthy for “experiential entertainment” like the Chicago Beer Classic, Firefly Music Festival and the Warrior Dash where thousands of runners negotiate race courses filled with obstacles that include mud-filled trenches.

The race was a six-year money-maker for Rural Hill which is a historic site and nature preserve open to the public.

Warrior Dashes held all over the country have been cancelled by Red Frog.

According to Forbes, the company sported a tree-house in the center of its

office. A secret passageway linked the offices of the co-CEOs. Upcoming for Rural Hill is the The Amazing Maize Maze. Other events held there include the Loch Norman Highland Games, the NC Brewers & Music Festival and the Sheepdog Trials & Dog Festival.

Red Frog defaulted on loans to its secured lender and the business ceased operations on July 31, two months after the Rural Hill event.

The landlords have terminated their occupancy rights and have filed suit pursuant to the terms of their agreements.

RFE’s assets are currently being liquidated. All proceeds of the liquidation are being paid to the lender and applied to its outstanding loan balance. There will be a “significant deficiency” after the liquidation, which means no money for unsecured creditors.

The Duke University Clinical & Translational Science Institute will double its research space to10,000 square feet at the North Carolina Research Campus in Kannapolis.

It’s the home base of the MURDOCK Study, for Measurement to Understand the Reclassification of Disease Of Cabarrus and Kannapolis, which got under way in earnest in 2009.

People from 20 ZIP codes in and around Kannapolis and Cabarrus County joined the study which has more than 12,500 participants and 430,000 biological samples. Participants complete a follow-up form every year, and researchers track changes to their health over time.

“The value of the MURDOCK Study is its ability to help researchers answer big questions to better understand health and disease. We could not

compromise moments and avoid the giving in

do this work without our dedicated participants,” said Dr. L. Kristin Newby, principal investigator for the MURDOCK Newby Study and director for Translational Population Health Research (TransPop).

The study has 150 scientific collaborators across 21 institutions, with more than 100 Duke faculty members using samples and data to explore a broad range of research questions.

Construction is expected to take place this fall on the third floor of the North Carolina Research Campus Medical Office Building.

Mooresville mixed-use project takes aim at Millennials

BY DAVE VIESER Downtown Mooresville is experiencing a major comeback. Stores that were vacant have new tenants, and more business have their sights set on the “authentic” business district that already has elements of place-making, multiple uses and an utter lack of sterile, dehumanized space.

An $18 million apartment and commercial building is planned on the site of a 126-year-old textile mill on Church Street.

The three-acre site, to be called Mill One, was recently rezoned by the Mooresville Board of Commissioners in preparation for 90 apartments on three floors. A brewpub, restaurants and other commercial uses are also planned, said Brad Howard, president of Langtree Group, which is developing the site.

“Mill One (the original 1893 textile mill) was the catalyst to bring other textile manufacturing to Mooresville,” he says. “Now it will be the catalyst to bring food,” and other uses to a 21st century Mooresville.

The project targets Millennials with mostly studio and one-bedroom units.

“A development like this will help make downtown Mooresville a destination,” Ballard said Kirk Ballard, president of the MooresvilleSouth Iredell Chamber of Commerce.

Financing will come from a combination of investors, bank money and other commercial sources, according to Vinny Giglio and Mark Halteman, partners in MV2, which will own the project.

They’re aiming for a fall 2021 opening.

The heart of downtown Mooresville is the commercial district encompassing Main and Broad Streets, from Town Hall to John Franklin Moore Square. Parallel sections of Church and Academy Streets are also part of the downtown.

Mooresville downtown: Urban settings like this are hot commodities in commercial, residential real estate Urban settings like downtown Mooresville are hot commodities.

“People are seeking unique and authentic experiences. This fares well for historic buildings and traditional downtowns, rather than the repeat of same strip, big box and other prototype development scattered through-

out most major urban and suburban thoroughfares,” said Kathleen Rose, CEO of Rose Associates, a real estate and economic development firm based in Davidson.

Successful spaces are multi-functional and changeable. And Mooresville merchants are capitalizing on

their downtown.

One of the recent well received projects is a tour called Tasty Town USA, a 2.5 hour walking tour through downtown Mooresville. Small plates are available at six or more restaurants, along with local history and food facts.

Reaction has been very positive.

Duke’s foundation supports NC workforce development

Your business is your baby.

Give it the best care.

Duke Energy is investing more than $3.6 million to help create a diverse workforce. It has announced grants to support 54 innovative workforce development programs including one in Mecklenburg that exposes disadvantaged students to career opportunities in the energy sector.

“Our goal is to build a diverse workforce equipped to help the energy industry transform the grid and innovate to meet customers’ needs,” said Cari Boyce, president of the Duke Energy Foundation. “The energy sector generates an abundance of well-paid, dynamic jobs, and we want to ensure nontraditional students have access to these opportunities.”

The 2019 Powerful Communities grants, from the Duke Energy Foundation with support from Piedmont Natural Gas, aim to bolster programs serving under-represented, low-income or diverse audiences, including women and minorities.

Helping Orient Minorities to Engineering (HOME) at North Carolina A&T State University invites academically gifted incoming freshman to spend the summer prior to entering the university immersed in a “deepdive” into the rigors of earning an undergraduate engineering degree.

“Duke Energy Foundation’s investment in our HOME program allows us to continue the College’s tradition of exposing a distinctive cohort of incoming engineering and computer science freshmen to tailored educational and professional development,” said

Dr. Robin N. Coger, dean of the College of Engineering at North Carolina A&T State University.

Other regional grants include Piedmont Community College Strengthening a Rural Workforce with Technological Training Support welding education and increase the number of students with welding certificates, strengthening the local workforce.

Duke also supports the welding curriculum at Piedmont Community College The grants are part of Duke Energy’s Powerful Communities philanthropic program, which awards strategic charitable grants to nonprofit organizations working to build powerful communities by bolstering education, developing the future workforce of the energy sector and conserving and protecting our environment.

In 2018, Duke Energy Foundation invested more than $31 million to support communities throughout Duke Energy’s seven-state service area.

The Duke Energy Foundation provides philanthropic support to meet the needs of communities where Duke Energy customers live and work. The Foundation contributes more than $30 million annually in charitable gifts and is funded by Duke Energy shareholder dollars.

Duke Energy was named to Fortune’s 2019 “World’s Most Admired Companies” list, and Forbes’ 2019 “America’s Best Employers” list.

ues to diversify away from textiles, furniture and tobacco. The rise of knowledge-based jobs and agglomeration—a geographic concentration of industries—is encouraging human capital to concentrate in a few leading metros.

Fortunately, Charlotte is one of them.

Net in-migration and rising housing prices are cause and symptom of a local success story. North Carolina’s economy grew 2.9% in 2018, ending the year with year-over-year growth of 3%.

With a bright outlook for corporate reIocations and business expansion, there is strong demand for homes, including from investors and real estate groups.

“I don’t see inventory levels expanding anytime soon, with the influx of dollars coming into the marketplace by investors achieving great appreciation and rentals eating up great inventory,” said Pat Riley, CEO of Allen Tate.

He said demand for real estate here remains strong as newcomers continue to flock to our region.

“Our climate, quality of life and low property taxes, make NC a destination for many seeking a new start. In addition, the strong business climate Riley in the Charlotte/ Lake Norman area is also fueling corporate relocations from other parts of the country as well,” said Abigail Jennings, President of Lake Norman Realty in Cornelius.

Charlotte and Raleigh rank in the Top 15 in terms of net in-migration

North Carolina IT job openings were higher in July than the same month last year, outpacing the US rate during the same time frame. NC TECH says job openings have declined the past several months, both in NC and nationally, reflecting caution from employers who are concerned about recessionary signals nationally since 2010.

But a nationwide recession can lessen the demand here if homeowners elsewhere can’t sell their Jennings homes.

Jack Salzman, co-owner of Lake Norman Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Cornelius, said he’s seeing some “headwinds” that could affect certain segments of his operations.

New vehicle affordability is also going to be something he watches

carefully going forward.

“We expect 2019 to remain strong and some new vehicle headwinds in 2020 but nothing dramatic. We do see a small cor- Salzman rection in new vehicles in 2021,” said Salzman.

Given the uncertainty of tariffs, the car dealer is waiting a little longer than normal to complete 2020 forecasts.

The last recession was one-of-a-kind and will not be seen in our lifetimes again.

“A bottom-feeding stock market with everyone fleeing, interest rates at an all-time low, and mortgages being given out to anyone, along with equity lines for all. It was the perfect storm,” Riley said.

What’s happening now, he said, is WashingEngel ton is raising interest rates to rein in the economy for 18 months or so.

“As long as we have debate on trade talks, government regulations or lack thereof, and border and immigration stands, both commerce and consumers will be hedging and conservative.

No sitting president is going to let anything happen pre-election. I agree that inflation will be held intact, along with interest rates, until after the elections.

Government spending has and will always be the greatest cloud over our heads,” Riley said.

Jim Engel, CEO of Aquesta Bank, said a more measured growth rate is more sustainable.

If some of the international issues like trade wars are resolved, Engel forecasts a “return to truly robust” growth rates.

Loan delinquencies are usually an early warning signal of a recession.

“At this point, we have seen no indications of a recession as there has been no increase in loan delinquencies,” Engel said.

New loan requests remain strong.

“Our biggest challenge remains recruiting and retaining the best team members to provide truly personalized services to our existing and new customers,” Engel said.

G ROWTH S TRATEGIES

Tap into every department before you make changes Partnership parity supports sales Due process in vetting new ideas should be collaboratively meticulous so sales aren’t put at risk. Each unit of an organization can offer strength and add to the competitive advantage of an organization-if they rely upon each other and work in equitable partnership.

Sales processes depend on all units working toward error-free outcomes. And no one part of an organization should be above being scrutinized thoughtfully by other units in the partnership; they must support one another.

As an example, much of our ability to sell well is connected to technology. Order placement is more efficient, order fulfillment less expensive. We can act on customer communications faster. Operations and administration are made stronger. And critical data can be collected and analyzed more accurately.

Technological innovation drives so much of our sales and operational processes sometimes we easily fall victim to a myth that if it’s new it is guaranteed to make us more effective and competitive. In some organizations it may seem technological units are treated as invincible or untouchable, therefore reliable unit partnership vetting of new processes or change may be skipped, or limited in scope.

Include all unit partners Whoa. Inclusiveness is a strong foundation for success; omitting partners reduces expert insight and puts the investment in the change at risk of failure

or inferior effectiveness. Relationships in a partnership matter. Don’t push strong critical thinking aside, welcome inquiry. All units impacted by any substantial change should be included in due process vetting so it is thorough and transparent to all

partners throughout the decision and implementation processes.

Endure questions Sometimes it is the annoying devil’s advocate who keeps asking, “Why?” “How?” “Why right now?”, and “Have we considered what if ‘x’ happened?

(Read: What is our backup plan?” who showcases the weaknesses, and lead to the strongest outcomes.

Welcome analysis An objective, demanding economic analysis of benefits and costs can make a decision unbiased.

Document & follow the plan A supportive partnership implementation of a plan will be fiercely monitored for accuracy, and completeness.

Missing partners can mean outcome failures Don’t allow exuberance to undermine prudence. I think I’ve experienced some of these missing partner failures recently, all of which reduced my ability to complete a sale to my satisfaction.

• On a Tuesday I tried to make a reservation at a conference center I am loyal to. This quality hotel serves a global clientele and frequently sells out; their web site wasn’t working well so I called. I was dumbstruck when asked, “Can you call back on Friday? Our computers are down.” It was six more days before my reservation was finalized. A computer system change had apparently gone awry-they had been down for a few days already; they had no backup system when the unexpected occurred.

• I noticed a paper invoice had a new look—better organized and easier to read. However I failed to notice the tearoff section was almost three-fourths of an inch smaller on all sides than the envelope sent with it. In transit, the invoice shifted so far out of the envelope window the post office returned it to me “Undeliverable.” Apparently no one tested the new invoice with the old envelope.

• A national service provider bundled a secondary service with the primary product I purchased. When I tried out the secondary service it didn’t work.

I spent 2.9 hours so far talking to five people over five days on their so-called help line. Four of them made me do the same 7-8 steps at my end then told me there appeared to be a technological issue at the company’s end. Each referred me to a “higher level” representative. The fifth person confirmed the error and that it will take a “few more days” to fix; “I don’t have an ETA” for you but once someone gets to it, it should only take a bit of time to correct as “we have a coding error on your account.” Monitoring the original work was not complete.

Strong unit partnerships equal stronger sales processes The specialty partner units in our organizations are invaluable. So none should outrank the others when it comes to helping each other make excellent decisions which support flawless sales processes. Encourage probing questions, balance good decision making with thorough analysis, listen to all the voices in the organizationdon’t leave their views out. Unit partnership parity can best support strong sales outcomes.

Carvana: On the road to Concord

Aug. 29. Carvana, the e-commerce platform for buying and selling used cars, officially announced plans to open a $30 million inspection and reconditioning facility in the old Philip Morris plant in Concord.

Over the course of a dozen years, the Carvana investment is expected to grow the state economy by half a billion dollars and 413 new jobs.

Gov. Roy Cooper said the Cabarrus workforce is a major reason why thge Arizona company chose to grow and invest here. Carvana’s Car Vending Machines forgo the traditional dealership

Carvana calls it “The New Way to Buy a Car.” Used cars aren’t beaters any more, so the business is hot. It only stood to reason that a company could essentially roll up the industry—again—with the help of technology. Its stock has soared more than 600 percent since its IPO in 2017.

Carvana’s “car vending machines ” stand eight stories tall and hold 30 vehicles. In as little as 10 minutes, customers can shop more than 15,000 vehicles on the site, finance, purchase, trade in, and schedule as-soon-as-next-

Carvana’s newest vending machine near Los Angeles stands eight stories high and holds 30 vehicles. Customers that choose to pick up their vehicle at the Car Vending Machine are greeted by a “Customer Advocate” and receive a commemorative, oversized Carvana coin to activate the fully automated vending process.. infrastructure that allows consumers to shop online. The new facility brings the inspection, reconditioning, photographing and storage process to a centralized site for the Carolinas.

The procedure includes a 150-point inspection and a photography process using high-definition cameras and patented, proprietary technology.

day pickup at a vending site or home delivery of that vehicle.

Carvana’s new location here in Concord provides access to half the U.S. population within a day’s drive from North Carolina, simplifying the logistical equation.

Although wages will vary depending on position, the average individual, an-

nual salary for the new positions are estimated to reach more than $38,000, in line with the Cabarrus County average wage.

Carvana will get a Job Development Investment Grant from the state.

The old Philip Morris site was more recently the site of Alevo, a battery maker which operated briefly out of the Philip Morris plant before declar ing bankruptcy in 2017. Only a few

months earlier the company had announced a major expansion with 200 new jobs with the help of government incentives.

Alevo made large battery storage units called a Gridbank, which could be recharged multiple times.

It was a big change from cigarette manufacturing. Philip Morris was a mainstay of the Cabarrus economy until 2007 when it announced plans to close the 2,100-acre campus.

It had more than 3.5 million square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space, much of which has been torn down to help market the property.

Partnering with the North Carolina Department of Commerce and the EDPNC on this project were the North Carolina Community College System, Cabarrus County, the City of Concord and Cabarrus Economic Development Contacted at their headquarters in Arizona, Carvana officials would not disclose any information about a possible site for a car vending machine in or around Concord, home of one of the nation’s top retail locations, Concord Mills.

TDS plans to buy Continuum for $80 million Aug. 14. By Dave Vieser. TDS Broadband Services, one of the nation’s largest telephone, broadband and television services, has a tentative agreement to purchase Continuum for $80 million.

Mooresville-based Continuum is the municipally owned cable system that serves customers in Davidson, Mooresville and Cornelius. The deal, which must be approved by voters in

Davidson and Mooresville, was unanimously approved by the Davidson and Mooresville Town Boards.

The proposed sale would raise $80 million for Davidson and Mooresville, about what the two towns paid to take over the old, scandal-plagued Adelphia system back in 2007 and subsequently renamed it MI-Connection. Two years ago the company rebranded from MIConnection to Continuum.

Record visitor spending across NC in 2018 Aug. 15. Tourism spending in North Carolina rose to $25.3 billion last year, a record. The data, which comes from an annual study commissioned

by Visit North Carolina, has Mecklenburg County once again at the top, with $5.68 billion in visitor spending last year, up 5.6 percent from 2017.

Domestic visitors spent a record $25.3 billion statewide in 2018, also up 5.6 percent from 2017. State tax receipts as a result of visitor spending were close to $1.3 billion in 2018, and local tax revenues directly resulting from visitor spending totaled $774.6 million. Visitor expenditures directly supported more than 230,000 jobs and generated more than $6.3 billion in payroll income across North Carolina.

The state’s tourism industry set a new record last year in visitor spending despite the effects of major storms. Here are the state’s Top 10 tourist sites: www.attractionsofamerica.com/attractions/northcarolina. php Noting that North Carolina ranks sixth in the nation for overnight visitation, Visit NC Executive Director Wit Tuttell said the spending growth in all 100 counties confirmed the appeal of the state’s destinations. “There’s a lot of competition for travelers’ time and money,” Tuttell said. “But people

come to North Carolina when they know about the state’s natural beauty, our residents’ welcoming spirit, and the irresistible mix of tradition and innovation.”

In Cabarrus County, Charlotte Motor Speedway is No. 9 on the AttractionsofAmerica.com list of Top 10 NC destinations.

The visitor spending study commissioned by Visit North Carolina is conducted by the U.S. Travel Association. The study uses sales and tax revenue data, employment figures and other industry and economic data to determine the overall impact of visitor spending in North Carolina. Highlights include: Wake County ranked second with $2.40 billion, followed by Guilford County with $1.49 billion, Buncombe with $1.21 billion and Dare with $1.19 billion in visitor spending.

Cabarrus County tourism brought in $469 million—the 12th-ranked county—and Iredell came in at No. 18 out of 100 counties, with $271 million in tourist spending last year.

The largest percent increases in visitor spending were seen in Onslow (8 percent), Beaufort (7.7 percent), Johnston (7.1 percent), Cherokee (7 percent) and Madison (6.8 percent) counties.

HOT PROPERTIES Charlotte home prices still climbing as much of the country slows down

BY DAVE YOCHUM The rate of home-price increases fell in June to the lowest level in nearly seven years, according to the latest Case-Shiller Home Price Index from S&P Down Jones Indices and CoreLogic. June 2019 saw an annual increase of 3.1 percent for home prices nationwide, falling from the previous month’s 3.3 percent gain.

Phoenix, Las Vegas and Tampa reported the highest year-over-year gains among all of the 20 cities.

And Charlotte is doing just fine, with a 4.5 percent increase in sales prices from June of last year to June 2019.

“Home price gains continue to trend down, but may be leveling off to a sustainable level,” said Philip Murphy, the boss man at S&P Dow Jones Indices.

There are only six other cities among the Top 20 in the US with home prices seeing bigger annual gains: Los Angeles; San Diego; Washington, D.C.; Detroit; Minneapolis; and Cleveland.

In super-heated Seattle, prices were down 1.3 percent year over year.

Besides net in-migration, part of

Shaded area indicate U.S. recessions

what’s keeping the Charlotte market tight—and supporting higher prices— is the population of Baby Boomers who are staying put, said Angela Standish, sales manager for Standish

Allen Tate in Cornelius.

“Boomers tend to live in their family homes longer than the preceding generation, choosing to either downsize later in life or remodel and age in place,” she said.

This generation has seen large financial swings over their career, Standish said, and some are working well into

their 70s prior to making a move. “ A d d i t i o n a l l y, many boomers’ millennial children came home to roost after college, shortly followed by aging parents in need of Murphy

care,” Standish said.

About 42 percent of the housing inventory in America is “outdated and unloved,” said Pat Riley, CEO of Allen Tate.

That is exacerbated by the fact that Boomers are not downsizing now until age 74, vs. their early 60s as in the past.

“And at age 74, they are not buying down, but rather renting or moving into assisted living.

Every year they remain in their homes is a year they are failing to update,” Riley Riley said.

Abigail Jennings, president of Lake Norman Realty, said 2019 continues to be a “very strong” year for real estate in the Charlotte region.

“We expect this trend to continue through the remainder of 2019 and into 2020,” she said.

Nevertheless, there’s been a 1% decline in closed sales compared to 2018, but sales are 1% higher than 2017.

“This could simply be due to lack of inventory and next month we may trend back up to record-levels,” Jennings said.

Real estate observers say Charlotte

has historically been more of a steady market, less inclined to have dramatic ups and downs, like a Phoenix or Seattle.

“There were times we coasted through without the impact felt by the rest of the nation,” Jennings said.

Limited inventory post-recession has played out in above-average appreciation rates and equity growth for homeowners.

For the first-time buyer, appreciation rates are not being sufficiently offset by low interest rates, Jennings Riley explained.

Meanwhile, Millennials are saddled with college debt, not to mention high rents that make it difficult to save for that first home.

Riley said the squeeze is coming from both ends.

“First-timers are gumming up the system because of affordability and savings. The Boomers—the largest generation—are squatting,” The over-arching issue is good inventory, which Riley doesn’t see improving anytime soon.

September 2019 ROC continued from page 1 The programs ultimately helps rebuild the local building industry which was devastated by the 2008 recession. Adding to the challenge is the fact that fewer high schools operate robust career and technical educational programs, especially high-poverty schools where students could most benefit, and the fact that the aging construction workforce continues to retire.

ROC takes on the notion that every student should be on a 4-year university track, regardless of that student’s learning ability or interest.

Meanwhile, a Harvard University/UC Berkeley study ranked Charlotte 50th

out of 50 in upward mobility among the largest U.S. cities.

The Lake Norman Home Builders is donating $5,000 to ROC. The funds were raised by events sponsored by the Professional Women in Building of the Lake Norman Association to help transport young workers.

The goal of ROC is to provide a career path for underserved teens through a youth apprenticeship in the construction industry where skilled labor is in high demand.

“Parents want success for their kids and are starting to see the attractive wages paid in career fields such as construction management,” Ash said.

Charlotte faces a triple challenge and

opportunity.

In addition to the upward mobility problem—which manifests itself among teens and younger adults—there are thousands of well-paying construction jobs and not enough qualified people to fill them.

A recent survey by the Department of Commerce found that a majority of construction companies in NC had hiring difficulties – especially prevalent in the carpentry (60 percent) and electrical (53 percent) industries.

With 33,000 new NC construction related trade job openings projected by 2024 (11,000 alone in Mecklenburg County), current training pipelines will be inadequate to meet this demand.
