CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles held a regularly scheduled news conference with local reporters Thursday afternoon.
The mayor's news conference was about no singular event or topic but rather allowed the mayor and reporters to address a variety of questions and concerns.
The event, which started at 3 p.m., was hosted virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
