Charlotte to Hold Annexation Informational Meeting September 9
(September 1, 2004)
The City of Charlotte will hold a public informational meeting on
Thursday, September 9 to present its plans to annex eight areas into
Charlotte in July 2005. Two of these areas are in Steele Creek, and
they total almost 5,000 acres and have over 9,500 population.
The
September 9 meeting is at 7:00 p.m. in Room 267 in the Charlotte
Mecklenburg Government Center, located at 600 E. 4th Street at the
corner of S Davidson Street. Free parking is available across
Davidson Street in the parking deck.
Staff from various
city departments will explain the annexation process and how each
area qualifies. They also will be able to explain what city services
to expect.
The Charlotte City
Council will hold a public hearing at its regular meeting on October
11. Residents will have the opportunity at that time to express
their views on the annexation to the City Council. The City
Council meeting is scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m. in the meeting
chamber in the Government Center. The public hearing likely will
occur early in the meeting. Check the
Charlotte City Council web page for the meeting agenda.
The City Council
likely will pass the annexation ordinance in November, and it will
take effect at midnight on June 30, 2005.
