2. WCC to Offer Building Construction Technology Program (goldsborodailynews.com) — Wayne Community College in Goldsboro is launching a Building Construction Technology program this fall, preparing students for in-demand local construction careers. The program offers multiple credentials, hands-on carpentry and safety training, and even house-building projects, with clear transfer options to ECU and strong ties to Goldsboro-based employers.
   

3. UPDATE: Two arrested following attempted robbery at Goldsboro Dollar General (witn.com) — Two men have been arrested after police say they tried to rob the Dollar General on North William Street in Goldsboro last weekend, with one suspect caught after a brief foot chase in Mount Olive.

4. First Judicial District symposium focuses on mental health and the criminal justice system (islandfreepress.org) — A recent regional symposium spotlighted how courts and jails handle inmates with serious mental illness, repeatedly pointing to Cherry Hospital in Goldsboro as a key but understaffed treatment hub. Speakers detailed long waits for Goldsboro-based beds, new alternatives like the NC Rise program, and the complex decisions around involuntary commitments across eastern North Carolina.
   

5. Jaleeyah's Law clears House 111-2 (newsargus.com) — State lawmakers have advanced Jaleeyah’s Law, a gang-crime bill inspired by the December killing of 13-year-old Jaleeyah Tune in Goldsboro. The measure, which passed the House 111-2, would stiffen penalties for gang members, especially those recruiting minors, and give law enforcement more tools to target organized criminal activity across North Carolina.
