Mountain Island Monitor Reports on Jan. 24th Meeting

The current issue of the Mountain Island Monitor has several articles about issues impacting the quality of life in our area.

The Monitor's website is a little bit behind, so we cannot link to the stories yet, but the current issue is well worth spending time with if you are interested in efforts to reduce crime in the area and concerned about the escalating the size of the Mountain Island Promenade project.

The paper's coverage includes an article and an editorial about the Jan. 24th meeting among representatives of a number of neighborhoods and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department at Cooks Memorial Presbyterian Church. There is a column by Judy Rozzelle that questions whether Charlotte city officials are paying attention to issues important to the area. She gives out phone numbers and email address for elected officials. There is also a story about the developers of Mountain Island Promenade attempting to tack on additional apartment units even before the groundbreaking for the massive project at Route 16 and Mount Holly-Huntersville Road. The Mountain Island Neighborhood Organization claims Cambridge Properties, developer of the Promenade, is trying to back out of previous agreements.
