Last week, members of the Governor’s staff were in Charlotte meeting with local leaders about the issues important to Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. I was there along with Pearse Edwards, Senior Advisor, and Budd Berro, Piedmont Regional Director. Among the topics for discussion were jobs and the economy, education, transportation, and state social services.
This meeting was just one of many meetings between the Governor’s staff and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community. We are aggressively reaching out to engage the community on the issues that matter to them, including opening the first Piedmont regional office, and we will continue our commitment to the region.
