The State's New Pitch to West Charlotte: Toll Lanes, With Sweeteners

03min | 07/27/2026

Description

Two months after Charlotte's City Council rejected the $4 billion I-77 South toll lanes by a single vote, the state is back with a sales pitch — a grocery store for west Charlotte's food desert, greenways, and a cap over the highway — ahead of a make-or-break regional revote in September, with a $60 million penalty hanging over a "no." Plus: MLS All-Star week hits its main stretch, the Panthers lose Nic Scourton for the season, the Levine Museum's new South End home is open, and free pro soccer tonight in Matthews.
