These Charlotte Democrats have majority for first time. How will they use power?

Democratic Mecklenburg legislators say they’re eager to execute on long-awaited priorities after their party captured a majority in the North Carolina House for the first time in 16 years. House Democrats are expected to have a near-supermajority in the new legislative session after flipping seats across the state in Tuesday’s election. Republicans appear to have narrowly held onto their majority in the state Senate, if potential recounts and the final canvass don’t change outcomes. But Democrats picked up several seats there, too. In Mecklenburg County, state Sen. Vickie Sawyer will be the only Republican left in the legislative delegation after former Matthews town Commissioner Ken McCool defeated GOP state Rep. Tricia Cotham. State Rep. Mary Belk easily secured a sixth term in the House, where she represents south Charlotte’s District 88. Despite her long tenure, this will be her first time in the majority. Belk told The Charlotte Observer she had an inkling it could be a good year for Democrats given frustration among voters with the status quo and indicators of high voter turnout. But she “had no idea it was going to be this much.” “Very rarely do we get to move things forward and have them heard,

Here’s a look at plans for 450 new homes and townhomes pitched across the Rock Hill region. Details are still pending on a 309-home subdivision proposal in Lancaster County. Homebuilder True Homes applied to build in the Edgewater community on 106 acres with a project called The Pinery East . The site is off Monterrico Drive and Antela Lane.

Mayor Pro Tem: Why Charlotte should move forward on airport agreement | Opinion

Charlotte Douglas International Airport is one of our community’s greatest assets. It connects Charlotte to the world, supports jobs and economic growth across our region, and has helped make our city an attractive place to live, visit and do business. An asset that important deserves careful stewardship. Council members should ask hard questions about what Charlotte receives from a long-term agreement, how it protects the public interest and whether it positions our airport and our community for the future. After considering those questions, I believe the proposed Airline Use and Lease Agreement is good for Charlotte, and I support its approval. While I will not be able to attend the Council meeting when it comes up for a vote, I want my position to be clear. The agreement provides the framework for roughly $2 billion in investment at Charlotte Douglas. For travelers, that means real improvements: additional gates, a new passenger tunnel connecting the terminal with an expanded Concourse C to help reduce crowding and improve movement, renovations to our international arrivals facilities, and airfield improvements supporting greater safety, reliability and efficiency. It also lays the groundwork for Charlotte’s continued international growth, including additional international capacity. As our city becomes
