Today's riddle: What do you call a paper airplane that can't fly? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Institute for Child Success CEO Jamie Moon awarded Order of the Palmetto (greenvillejournal.com) — A Greenville-based early childhood advocate has just received South Carolina's highest civilian honor, with the award presented during a gala at the Poinsett Club in Greenville. Jamie Moon's leadership of the Greenville-headquartered Institute for Child Success and his service on local boards, including United Way of Greenville, underscore the city's growing influence on statewide child and family policy.
• New technology, skills: students get look at future of manufacturing (greenvilleonline.com) — Students from across the Upstate, including Greenville County, are getting a hands-on look at advanced manufacturing careers through BMW Spartanburg's Manufacturing Careers Day and a broader "More to be Made" campaign. Local educators and state workforce officials say new technologies like humanoid robots are changing job skills, not eliminating opportunities, and stress that schools must adapt so Greenville-area students can step into these high-demand roles.
• Rising Rates Force Commercial Real Estate Price Cuts as Deals Come Under Pressure (citybiz.co) — A recent sale of a 65,000-square-foot retail property in Greenville closed only after the seller agreed to cut the price by $100,000, reflecting how rising interest rates are pressuring commercial real estate deals. For local residents and business owners, it's a sign that higher borrowing costs may influence property values, development, and even future tax revenues in Greenville.
