Contractor Surrenders License After Stalled Renovation

A Greensboro contractor has surrendered his license after a homeowner reported a $107,000 renovation project stalled for nearly two years. The case drew attention after the homeowner said the work was left incomplete despite significant payments.

State licensing officials confirmed the contractor voluntarily gave up his license amid the dispute. The situation serves as a reminder for homeowners to carefully review contracts and verify credentials before starting major renovations.

Brixx Pizza Locations Permanently Close

Brixx Wood Fired Pizza locations in Greensboro and Winston-Salem have permanently closed, according to company announcements. The closures affect multiple Triad restaurants and have left customers surprised.

Property Tax Assessment Notices Sent Out
