CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte City Council unanimously voted at its Monday meeting to set $20 million aside for the future development of Eastland Yards.
The city hasn't quite figured out what to do with the site but has narrowed it down to two options.
The first option, called QC East, would bring multi-use sports fields, an amphitheater, and a place to hold events for esports or STEM teaching opportunities.
Another option would be the Eastland Yards Indoor Sports Complex, which would have an indoor facility with room for 10 basketball courts that could function for other sports. There would also be an outdoor area for soccer fields, a running trail, and more.
City leaders are asking for the public to weigh in on which plan they like better.
