Join Sustain Charlotte in McCrorey Heights for a powerful neighborhood walk led by resident volunteers who know and love their community. We’ll explore this vibrant, historic neighborhood—long home to influential Black leaders and families who have shaped Charlotte’s story.
You’ll learn how the construction of I-77 more than 50 years ago cut the neighborhood off from Uptown, and why it now faces renewed threats from the planned I-77 South toll lanes. Hear directly from residents about how they’re organizing to protect their community and advance a more equitable future.
This event is the first in our 2026 Discover Charlotte series. Each event spotlights a different Charlotte neighborhood, where you’ll explore local gems and hear directly from residents about what makes their community unique—and the sustainability and equity challenges they’re working to address. Along the way, connect with fellow sustainability champions, enjoy light refreshments, and learn from local experts in engaging, accessible ways that make big ideas feel practical and inspiring. These events blend discovery, learning, and social time. What a perfect chance to build new relationships with people who care about Charlotte’s future. You’ll leave energized, informed, and equipped with the knowledge and connections to help build a stronger, more sustainable community for all.
Come connect, learn, and discover how you can stand alongside McCrorey Heights neighbors in this important effort!
