• Richest billionaires in North Carolina (ashepostandtimes.com) — Several of North Carolina’s richest residents live right in Cary, including software billionaires James Goodnight and John Sall and gaming mogul Tim Sweeney. A new ranking based on Forbes data highlights where these ultra-wealthy neighbors made their fortunes and how they compare with the richest Americans nationwide. 
• Triangle water systems are more interconnected than you think - that's by design (wunc.org) — Cary’s water system is tightly linked with Raleigh, Durham, Apex, Holly Springs and others, giving the town backup options during the current historic drought. Regional utilities can shift water between systems for emergencies, maintenance shutdowns, and dry spells, helping protect Cary’s supply even as reservoirs drop and restrictions tighten across the Triangle.
• North Carolinian in quarantine unit after hantavirus exposure (abc11.com) — A North Carolina resident exposed to hantavirus on a cruise ship is now in a Nebraska quarantine unit, but state health officials say the infection risk back home remains extremely low. One Cary resident says the news won’t change his travel plans, instead relying on COVID-era hygiene habits. Officials are still coordinating the patient’s safe return to North Carolina.
