Cleveland County commissioners approve large-scale battery storage facilities

Cleveland County commissioners have approved an amendment to the county’s unified development ordinance allowing large-scale battery storage facilities in industrial zones. The ordinance governs zoning and land-use decisions throughout the county. Commissioner Johnny Hutchins, who said he has experience working with lithium, was the sole vote against the amendment. Chris Martin, Cleveland County planning director, said Duke Energy petitioned to add the facilities to the UDO. A Duke Energy spokesperson said the text amendment does not approve a specific project, but instead establishes a pathway for future battery storage proposals while preserving local oversight. Martin said the approved amendment includes the definition of battery storage facilities, creates development standards and safety guidelines and outlines compatibility requirements with properties around the facility. The facilities will only be allowed in the county's light and heavy industrial zones. "There are very few parcels that would permit this use if approved," Martin said. The amendment defines lithium battery storage facilities as battery storage systems that store electricity, supplying it to the power grid, and are connected to an electric public utility's transmission system. "That would limit it to facilities with an agreement with a power supplier owner and redistribute power back into public utilities,"

Club West Brewing distribution facility sells to prominent Charlotte developer

An entity tied to Club West, the rebranded Sycamore , has sold the brewery's offices and production facility near Camp North End to a prominent Charlotte developer for $6.65 million. Why it matters: While Club West Brewing's taproom has been consistently packed since the Sycamore scandal, the brewery previously acknowledged the distribution business wasn't rebounding the same way. The latest: West Twenty Fourth LLC, an LLC tied to Sycamore's co-founder Sarah Taylor, sold the building to Summit Avenue West 24th, an LLC tied to Matthew Browder, owner at Browder Brown real estate firm, on Nov. 4, property records show. West Twenty Fourth LLC previously bought the building for $5.2 million in 2024. Flashback: CBJ reported in 2017 that Sycamore was investing $2.5 million in building out the North End facility. It would grow its beer production by 16 times, with enough capacity to produce up to 80,000 barrels a year, the report stated. The lease between Club West and West Twenty Fourth LLC was terminated the same day as the sale, records show. The big picture: Browder for years has been assembling more than 30 acres of land in the surrounding area, including the Starbucks down the street and 9-plus
