A significant streetscape improvement project in Hickory is ongoing and will continue through August. City officials urge residents and visitors to plan for possible delays, stay alert, and follow posted signage to ensure the safety of all who use local roads.

Art enthusiasts in Hickory can explore miniature masterpieces this February at the Tiny Art Show. The opening reception, scheduled from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 19, at the FCA gallery, offers a unique opportunity to view small-scale creations up close and in detail.
