A consultant working for the city of Charlotte says the city can earn more than $137 million from selling the naming rights to the new Charlotte Transportation Center project. The approved plan will bring a Charlotte Hornets practice facility to the bus depot. The buses will be underground with retail, restaurants, and towers on the site. The city envisions Brevard Street as a “festival street” with the ability to be shut down for major events.
“I think there is a way to accomplish both a transportation outlet and an economic generator for the community,” Councilman Malcolm Graham said.
