Welcome to Columbus County Community Chat (CCCC), a new feature linked to whiteville.com.
This blog spot is a place to air ideas and share different points of views. Hopefully, it can become a positive and proactive environment for the betterment of our community via its news coverage and citizen involvement.
In other words, this blog is meant to be a medium where constructive critique of our community can take place…with the ultimate aim of hearing from those living in Columbus County, N.C. or others who are somehow connected to the county.
Have a word of encouragement?
We want to hear it!
Have a legitimate concern?
We want to know about it.
Heard a bit of local humor?
We hope you’ll share it. 
Think you might have a good idea for The News Reporter?

So, go ahead. Make a contribution to your community….be a part of the CCCC!
