Yesterday REBIC we were with NAIOP Charlotte (the Commercial Real Estate Development Association) in Raleigh visiting with legislators and promoting economic development related initiatives. We offer a special thank you to Sen. Dave Craven and Sen. Brad Overcash for taking the group on the Senate floor during our meeting and for spearheading the effort that resulted in the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance Foundation and REBIC receiving a state grant to study the issue of adaptive reuse. The initial phase of that study is targeted for a release in the coming weeks.
We also had an opportunity to meet with Senate Transportation Chair, Sen. Vickie Sawyer, who discussed her efforts at modernizing the Department of Transportation as well as other plans underway to deliver transportation infrastructure in a more rapid and cost-effective manner.
Rep. Terry Brown also hosted a portion of our group in his office where we discussed the benefits of the growth and economic development we are experiencing here at home in Mecklenburg County. He used the opportunity to mention his work on providing tax incentives for property owners seeking to utilize land for temporary farmer’s markets in an effort to combat the problem of food deserts.
