Huntersville Planning Board recommends denial of Lagoona Bay Beach Club project: Wednesday, June 28

Huntersville's planning board voted 6-2 to recommend the denial of the Lagoona Bay project Tuesday.

The vote comes as neighbors continue to fight against the development from happening.

Jake Palillo, the developer behind the massive 300-acre project, proposed several changes during a public meeting last week. Those changes included revamped housing plans, road improvements and the addition of 20 affordable housing units.

Palillo told the planning board Tuesday night he will commit at least $3 million to road improvements. However, several members said the plan is too dense for the area and they couldn't support it in its planned location.

There's an early look at state testing scores in math for high school students at Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, and the results aren’t great.

The results show less than 10% of high school students tested were considered career-or-college-ready based on math scores.

“It is disappointing. That is a really low number," CMS Superintendent Crystal Hill said to board members Tuesday night.

The scores are typically not released by the state until fall but were released for CMS on an unofficial basis to compare results to previous years.
