Charlotte's economic future: The Energy Center (Waxhaw: park, area, business)

[adavi215]

I like to read the Charlotte Business Journal. One thing that has come up is the the fact that the political and business leaders of Charlotte are trying to mobilize this area as an energy hub. Given the recent bad news I figure I will post several threads talking about the future of Charlotte. Let's start with the energy field. How will Charlotte's energy hub sector industry look?

Well, it will be based in Waxhaw...

Check in with the mayor, she spends her days rubbing elbows with the energy sector folks.

Waxhaw will only be one place. I believe that is where the Energy research park will be. However, much of the engine that will propel this will come from UNC Charlotte. Check this out.

This does not undermind the progress in Waxhaw, but will only help it in the future. This is really looking like more of a reality for the Charlotte economy and not just a bunch of political/economic development talk. Exciting news.
