Good morning, Florence.

On Wednesday, more than 400 middle school students joined the third-annual Teal & Tech Experience at CCU and HGTC, where they explored college options and technology careers.

The School Foundation held Dancing for our Future Stars to raise funds for Florence One schools by drawing a sold-out crowd of 800 attendees.

The event supported local education programs & will help fuel future school initiatives.

Florence officials adopted a housing study showing the need for 7,000 housing units over the next five years, with about half for rent and half for ownership; they plan to ease development barriers by allowing denser townhome projects while a pending AESC battery plant project might boost housing demand.
