Under Pressure: Development Pressures on Historic Districts

Southend was the old warehouse district you didnt want to be 20 years ago. The only thing it had going for it was Charlotte’s historic neighborhoods on each side in Wilmore and Dilworth. Fastforward 20 years and the towering landscape of Southend has run out of warehouses to turn into midrise office and MF so they are looking to push out, into those historic neighborhoods of Wilmore and Dilworth. This walking tour will look at that development pressure into those historic neighborhoods and how the HDC is keeping development in check to fit in with the historical places of Charlotte.
