February 9, 2015 4 City Council Agenda Attachment 1 Briefing Memo Draft Ordinance 4. Airport Master Plan Update Resource(s): Jack Christine, Aviation Brent Cagle, Aviation Time: 20 minutes Synopsis . The Airport Master Plan Update was adopted in 1997. The Airport contracted with Landrum & Brown Aviation Consultants in December 2013 to simultaneously prepare Airfield and Terminal Capacity Enhancement Plans (ACEP/TCEP) to address forecasted demand over the next 20 years at CLT. Together these documents represent an update to the Airport’s Master Plan. Over the past year, a working group comprised of Airport staff, the Federal Aviation Administration, the airlines, and a consultant conducted a series of five stakeholder meetings to facilitate the design, analysis, and decision-making for the capacity study. The ACEP/TCEP will be released in April 2015 with the following recommendations: - Airfield enhancements to include a fourth parallel runway and additional taxiways to enhance safety and improve aircraft movement; and - Terminal enhancements designed to accommodate the forecasted demand of both domestic and international growth for the hub airline as well as other airlines, increasing the current gate count from 93 to 164. A key deliverable of the study is the update of the federally-mandated Airport Layout Plan (ALP). The ALP is a set of drawings that shows the near-term, intermediate, and long-term facilities for an airport. The ALP is a key component to the Airport’s master planning and federal funding processes. Future Action The presentation is for information only. 5.

  • SHARE Charlotte Challenges Charlotte Community to Raise $8 Million for #Givingtuesdayclt
    SHARE Charlotte Challenges Charlotte Community to Raise $8 Million for #GivingTuesdayCLT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 15, 2016 ​ (CHARLOTTE, N.C.) – Today, local nonprofit SHARE Charlotte kicks off its 3rd annual #GivingTuesdayCLT campaign, presented by Google Fiber and Wells Fargo. The two-week campaign (Nov. 15 - Nov. 29) engages the Charlotte community to support more than 170 local nonprofits and raise $8 million. Giving Tuesday, globally known as the first day of the “giving season” was made hyperlocal in 2014 through SHARE Charlotte’s #GivingTuesdayCLT and presents a unique opportunity to get everyone involved in making Charlotte a better place. “It’s not often we, as a city, get the chance to come together around something positive,” says Kelly Brooks, Founder of SHARE Charlotte. “After the unrest in September, Charlotte needs goodness and positivity more than ever to begin to heal. We can each bring something to the table; we can all do something GOOD for this city.” In 2015 the two-week #GivingTuesdayCLT campaign raised $4.2 million for 108 nonprofits and partnered with more than 40 sponsors, local businesses and community organizations. This year, SHARE’s goal is to raise $8 million and the organization has rallied more than nonprofits, more than 80 local businesses, sponsors and community partners spanning from Lake Norman to Center City to Ballantyne -- with one unifying goal of doing good for Charlotte. Campaign Events The campaign starts today with a market-style event at Unknown Brewing Co. from 7-10 p.m (free admission). Fifteen local vendors will showcase their “GOOD(s)” and six local breweries have created a custom brew for the event.
