Madison couldn't get a break to blow its way on a windy day at the Walnut Creek Softball Complex.

Beginning July 1, Weddington will have its own municipal fire service and Providence Volunteer Fire Department will be its primary service provider.

Kevin Chapman Jr. says it took two months to get permission from the county to put landscaping around the ramps I-20 and Wesley Chapel Road.

Citizens, council members and representatives from local police and fire departments gathered in Wesley Chapel on Saturday, May 12, to celebrate the opening of the new Wesley Chapel Volunteer Fire Department facility at Fire Station 26, 315 Waxhaw-Indian Trail Road.

While the Weddington town board has already voted to move forward with the creation of a municipal fire district, concerns regarding staffing, rising tax rates and coverage linger.
