The committee heard that Charlotte’s current small-business and workforce base is not large enough to meet the expected demand from major mobility projects without more training, outreach, and contracting support. Staff also previewed several Eastland Yards items that are headed to Council, including two long-term ground leases priced at $1 a year and an amendment that would extend key redevelopment deadlines. A city advisory committee asked Council to fund a $1.3 million annual business inclusion budget and create a formal process for filling open seats.
