CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte City Council is seeking input on several topic areas, with a focus on housing and jobs.
This is in preparation for the upcoming Housing and Jobs Summit will be held on Jan. 9 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Bojangles Coliseum.
Those who would like to help the city council identify and prioritize areas for future investments can fill out this survey online.
People interested in filling out the survey will be asked to rank housing issues facing the Queen City in order of importance so the city knows what things concern its residents the most. Participants will also be able to weigh in on strategic job initiatives in Charlotte.
After ranking those, if people are employers, they will be asked a series of follow-up questions. All said and done, the survey takes just a few minutes to complete.
WCNC Charlotte is part of seven major media companies and other local institutions producing I Can’t Afford to Live Here, a collaborative reporting project focused on solutions to the affordable housing crisis in Charlotte. It is a project of the Charlotte Journalism Collaborative, which is supported by the Local Media Project, an initiative launched by the Solutions Journalism Network with support from the Knight Foundation to strengthen and reinvigorate local media ecosystems.
