Charlotte, NC.- Social districts, designated areas where people can walk between bars, restaurants and liquor stores, are one step closer to becoming a reality in Charlotte.
The city’s Committee on Secure Communities voted unanimously to recommend them. The proposal now goes before the Charlotte City Council.
LOCATIONS
They are considering Plaza Midwood, South End and Uptown as possible locations for a social district, but will consider them on a case-by-case basis.
Councilor Tariq Bokhari recommended a public forum on August 15 and be ready for council consideration on August 22.
From there, businesses could apply to be part of emerging districts that they hope will become destinations for patrons and also attract more businesses.
