Charlotte, N.C. (March 28, 2022) – Charlotte City Council tonight adopted the final recommended draft of the Charlotte Future 2040 Policy Map in a 8-3 vote.

The policy map provides a guideline for possible future growth and development throughout Charlotte. Through three different phases of engagement, the policy map has been evaluated by the community as well as City Council members.

"I'd like to thank the Charlotte City Council for voting to adopt the Charlotte Future 2040 Policy Map, which is an important first step in implementing the Charlotte Future 2040 Comprehensive Plan" said Alyson Craig, the city's interim planning director. "I am appreciative of the hard work by our staff and grateful for all the input we have received from the community throughout this process. We ask the community to remain engaged as we embark on the community area planning process set to begin later this year after the adoption of the Unified Development Ordinance. We aim to identify needed improvements in communities as well as conduct a parcel-specific review of the adopted policy map."
