On Friday, the University of North Carolina School of the Arts revealed design plans for the second and final phase of comprehensive renovations of the historic Stevens Center in downtown Winston-Salem.

The University of North Carolina System has awarded nearly $6.5 million in state-funded grants for universities, education centers and rural hospitals to support new and ongoing rural healthcare workforce training programs.

The legislation moved $319 million to the state's Medicaid program and also provided critical funding for the state's prison system, DMV and State Bureau of Investigation.

The city has continued to face questions about the hiring process for incoming Police Chief Kamran Afzal.
