2008.05.21 • 09:52 Comments Off on Charlotte, North Carolina (NC) leads the nation as top destination for relocating
This year, Charlotte is in the top spot, the site announced late last week. Last year’s winner was Asheville, which slipped to No. 7 on this year’s list. "North Carolina is very active on our radar," said Steve Nickerson, president and CEO of HomeRoute. "It continues to get a flood of interest from all over." Charlotte’s diversity of housing options and home affordability were two of the reasons users nominated the city, Nickerson said. The city’s strong economy, boosted largely by the banking industry, was another selling point. [read more]

The 24-county project on new urban growth, released Tuesday, paints the clearest picture yet of how population increases and commercial development are changing the region. Read more!
I know that it is inevitable that as urban development increases in the area, many of our green spaces diminish. However, a part of me also feels that if Charlotte would require developers to retain more trees and green, it would add to the community so much. Clear cutting is really undesirable.
