PulteGroup Eyes Davidson Grove for Up to 99 Homes Off Ralph Knox Road

An Atlanta-based homebuilder is pushing forward with plans to fill nearly 48 acres of mostly vacant land at the end of Ralph Knox Road in Davidson with dozens of new homes. PulteGroup's proposal, known as Davidson Grove, calls for a mix of single-family houses and duplexes on a site tucked between two existing subdivisions, and the project has already cleared one of the town's biggest planning hurdles.

Will your Charlotte neighborhood trees be clear-cut for billboards? Here's a list

Charlotte and state leaders are requesting that billboard owners put a pause on cutting trees to improve visibility to their signs. The request comes after Adams Outdoor Advertising cut down a 500-foot stretch of trees — perhaps more than 100 trees — to improve visibility of a billboard along U.S. 74 or Independence Boulevard in Plaza Midwood. The tree clearing caused a massive outcry from local businesses owners along Commonwealth Avenue and residents. Business owners said the trees blocked out noise and pollution coming from the highway. There are 40 active permits around Mecklenburg County where Adams Outdoor and Lamar Outdoor either intend to cut trees or have already. The Plaza Midwood site is one of those places. Here’s a list of the active permits that were issued between July 14 and Nov. 2:

Mecklenburg County buying 56 acres for park, housing in northwest Charlotte

Mecklenburg County commissioners quietly approved a $12 million purchase this past week of more than 55 acres for parks and housing at 400 Radio Road in northwest Charlotte. Why it matters: That's sizable acreage, near Sunset Hills Golf Course, that will eventually be turned into multiuse sports fields and mixed-income housing, two things Charlotte needs. Plans for the site have yet to be designed, so details are scarce and there's no timeline, a county spokesperson told Axios. Between the lines: Commissioners approved the purchase from Charlotte Broadcasting, LLC almost unanimously following a closed session. Commissioner Elaine Powell, a staunch parks advocate, cast the lone "no" vote. She told Axios she didn't approve of the funding method because it "depleted" the money available to acquire top priority properties. Half of the purchase price will come from Environmental Leadership Plan dollars. The land is appraised at $3 million, according to county records , a quarter of the purchase price. But the county says an independent third-party appraisal valued the property at $13.1 million.
