Charlotte Plans Major Annexation in Steele Creek in 2005
(May 10, 2004) Next July 1,
almost 10,000 residents of Steele Creek likely will become new
Charlotte residents whether they want to or not. The city typically
follows a two-year cycle of involuntary annexations, and Steele
Creek is the major target area for the current cycle. Areas
generally qualify if they contain dense residential development, but
sparsely populated areas also can qualify if they are averaged in
with adjacent single-family, condominium, and apartment
developments. Targeted areas include virtually all new residential
developments in Steele Creek that aren't already in the city, plus
the lower density areas in between them.

targeted areas in PDF format, click on the images below.
