Focus Friday: North Mecklenburg Town Hall
Friday, July 18 | 8:30 AM – 9:30 AM
Featuring Mayor Woody Washam (Cornelius), Mayor Rusty Knox (Davidson), and Mayor Christy Clark (Huntersville)

As our region continues to grow at a rapid pace, so too do the opportunities and challenges we face. Join us for a special Focus Friday as we welcome the mayors of North Mecklenburg—Woody Washam of Cornelius, Rusty Knox of Davidson, and Christy Clark of Huntersville—for a candid, collaborative discussion about the most pressing issues shaping our towns and business community.

This engaging forum will explore critical topics including the proposed FY25–26 municipal budgets, major capital investments, transportation and infrastructure priorities, and strategic efforts to manage growth while preserving the unique character of each town. Attendees will gain firsthand insights into how our local leaders are working together to build a more connected, business-friendly, and sustainable future for North Mecklenburg.

Whether you’re a longtime resident, local business owner, or stakeholder invested in our community’s future, this is a must-attend event to stay informed and involved.

Coffee and light refreshments will be served. Space is limited—reserve your seat today!
