Today's riddle: What is clean when it is black and dirty when it is white? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Local police stick by Flock cameras (sovanow.com) — Clarksville's three Flock license plate cameras remain in use as part of a 27-camera network across Mecklenburg County, with local policies limiting searches to specific criminal investigations and deleting data after 21 days. Town officials report monthly audits, no improper searches, and no resident complaints so far, even as nearby counties like Halifax and Charlotte have shut their systems down over privacy concerns.
• Water curbs loom as lake flirts with 288 ft. elevation (sovanow.com) — Clarksville residents are on the brink of mandatory Stage III water restrictions as Buggs Island Lake hovers at the 288-foot trigger level, already closing all public boat ramps, including at Occoneechee State Park. If the lake stays this low, Clarksville's rules will sharply limit outdoor water use for at least 15 days, while regional drought conditions and limited rain chances keep pressure on local households and businesses.
• $615K Grants through Virginia Main Street (nrvnews.com) — Historic Downtown Clarksville is set to receive a $25,000 Virginia Main Street Downtown Investment Grant for its "Banners, Bistros & Benches" project, aimed at sprucing up the town's core. The award is part of $615,000 in statewide grants supporting streetscapes, wayfinding, and business-friendly improvements, bringing new investment and visual upgrades to Clarksville's main commercial area.
