§ The Charlotte Department of Transportation is a partner in the Project.
§ City Council approved by resolution dated November 10, 2025 (RB 56, Page 132) the sale of a portion of city-owned property located at 6514 Freedom Drive, together with granting of an easement (Property), in Council District 2, to NCDOT.
