Explanation
§ Crescent River District, LLC has purchased land on the west side of Mecklenburg County (adjacent to Council District 3), to create a development known as River One, or the River District. The River District is in need of water and sewer infrastructure to support the development.
§ Crescent River District, LLC has committed to donate surveying, design, plat preparation, and easements on its land at no cost to the City, in order to expedite the design and easement acquisition phase.
