The address for the Harris Conference Center is 3216 CPCC Harris Campus Dr. At this budget conference, the expectation is that the Board will: Receive briefings on fiscal policies and the financial status of the County; Receive an update and projection on assessed valuation; Receive a briefing on strategies being considered for Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB); Receive an update on the Board’s recently adopted strategic planning agenda; Receive a briefing on proposed modifications to the Community Service Grants funding process; and, Receive a briefing on funding strategies for school health nurses. In addition to the aforementioned items, I have set aside time on the agenda to have a discussion regarding the FY2015 tax rate. Also, during the two-day retreat, the Board will receive briefings from directors in a panel format that will highlight service delivery and challenges the agencies are experiencing. I am really excited about incorporating these agency briefings into the budget retreat. This budget retreat is a critical step in providing guidance for our activities for the next fiscal year. The binder has background materials that should be read in advance of the conference. In addition, staff will hand out additional materials, including all presentations, at the conference. I anticipate that the 2014 Budget Retreat will be a positive experience for the Board and for staff as we begin preparing for the upcoming budget cycle. I look forward to partnering with the Board as we move the organization in a new direction and restore the public’s trust in County government. Sincerely, Dena R.

Phase I Reconnaissance Survey Methodology In 2012, the City of Charlotte was awarded a federal grant from the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (HPO) to conduct a Phase I (reconnaissance level) architectural survey of Charlotte. The Phase I survey is anticipated to be the first of five (two reconnaissance-level and three intensive-level) investigations of architectural resources within the central city.

  • Post World War II Survey Study
    Final Report: Post World War Two Survey Sherry Joines Wyatt & Sarah Woodard for David E. Gall Architects. Click here to see National Register eligible properties UNCC students in the History 6000 Historic Preservation class spent hours examining newspapers and journals of the post-World War Two era. Without their work this report would have been impossible to produce. Click here to see the results of the students' work. In 1945, the western world was emerging from a long, dark tunnel of economic depression and world-wide war. In the United States, the light at the end of that tunnel illuminated the deficiencies and shortages left after years focused solely on survival. Thus, with the conclusion of war, the country rushed to satisfy the needs and wants of a population overwhelmed and exhilarated by returning servicemen and a newly invigorated economy. The post-war years saw common citizens experience economic prosperity not previously known. This, in turn, sparked a renewal and explosive expansion of trends begun in the wealthy 1920s. Some of the most notable and important of these patterns, with respect to the built environment, were suburban expansion, transportation improvements and accessibility, and a renewed interest in Modernist ideas about architecture. These three national trends created the three local contexts of community planning, transportation, and architecture in which Charlotte’s post-war Modernist architecture developed. An examination of these contexts and the dynamic changes in the booming, post-war New South City of Charlotte between 1945 and 1965 can serve as a case study of the historical climate in which post-war architecture evolved throughout North Carolina.
