Just over a year ago, Holly Springs Update (site) began with a simple observation and a clear need: Holly Springs [North Carolina] had no consistent, locally based news coverage. In media terms, it was a news desert. Important decisions were being made, neighborhoods were growing, schools were opening and residents deserved a reliable place to stay informed.
I moved to Holly Springs in early 2018, and I quickly noticed the gap. At first, I settled in like everyone else. But over time, it became harder to ignore. I kept hearing neighbors trade rumors or well-intentioned guesses about what was happening at Town Hall, with new developments, or around new businesses. When I tried to help answer those questions, I often found there wasn’t a clear, reliable place to point people. By the fall of 2024, that realization finally pushed me to act.
That’s why I launched Holly Springs Update in November of 2024.
