The future of the Charlotte region is a shared responsibility among key City of Charlotte Departments, other municipalities, and local citizens.

The City realizes that there is a need for a comprehensive Growth Strategy. It's a set of plans, policies and regulations that will address the future growth and development in our area.

 

A key recommendation of the 2025 Corridor System Plan, the Charlotte Streetcar Project also has implications for future growth.

Its presence would not only be a part of the area's overall public transit system, it has potential business and neighborhood impacts as well.
