Charlotte City Council · City Council Business Meeting on 2026-01-12 5:00 PM - Jan 12, 2026 · 12 Jan 2026 meeting

So let's zoom out a bit and think about a $25 billion, 30 year, um, mobility plan and that $25 billion economic impact that happens to

the city, the county, the biggest, I would say, economic development project in their history.

And it's great to have the chair of the MPTA here also, because part of what we try to do as a city is to make sure that we did a gap analysis.

Because we're talking about jobs and the ability to scale up businesses over a 30-year period.

So we did the gap analysis.

and there are capacity issues over time.

And so if we get this right, as we get it right, there's opportunities to make sure that jobs for our residents as well as opportunities for our small businesses to scale up.

So I zoomed out because I think that's extremely important.

Now we're getting to the point of making sure that we have the framework in place to deliver on that concept.

So over and over again, even at the,

annual strategy meeting, you'll see them again.

And we'll continue to talk about the opportunity that's here.

And it's just not that the 1% sales tax got passed in November and we started from scratch.

We've been working on this for a couple of years.

Council Member Driggs, I totally agree with you.

One of the things that we've discussed, and Danielle, Ms.

Frazier started this with our E2E program where we have pipeline from high school directly to coming to work for the city.

So now that we know the jobs that are out there, project manager, engineers, you name it, we are going to work with CMS and to make sure that these students understand that

what the opportunities are out there.

And the other thing I think is extremely important is this is actually building out a system.
