Corridors of Opportunity logo

The Albemarle Road and Central Avenue Corridor serves as the commercial center for established neighborhoods and has the opportunity to thrive as East Charlotte continues to grow. It is also one of Charlotte’s most diverse corridors with over 50 languages spoken.

Working hand in hand with the community, a corridor playbook was developed to understand the vision and shared future of the Albemarle/Central corridor. During the playbook process, corridor residents and businesses shared their needs, desires and visions for their community. Through collaboration with the community and key stakeholders. The Albemarle/Central corridor playbook will serve as the community's vision for the corridor over the next 3-15 years. View the playbook(PDF, 12MB).
