“We have great expectations for this project…”
“We have great expectations for this project. The location, directly across the street from the McColl Center and Charlotte Ballet facilities, will only benefit from the presence of more artists and visitors.
As they come and go, and present shows and events, the artists will take what is currently a lifeless space on N. Tryon and transform it into an area of creativity, energy and cultural engagement.”
– Mark Hahn, Director of Asset and Facility Management at Mecklenburg County and Project advisor
