Charlotte 西部 River District 举行开工仪式：1400 英亩规划社区正式动工
位于北卡罗来纳州 Mecklenburg County、Charlotte 西部的大型规划社区 River District 10月21日举行开工仪式，标志着这个 1400 英亩的综合开发项目正式动工。开发商 Crescent Communities 表示，项目将包含 2300 多套独栋住宅、2350 套多户型公寓以及老年住宅单元，合计 5000 多套住宅与公寓。
其中，500 多套公寓和 124 套独栋住宅将作为可负担住房，组成名为 Westrow 的社区，其首批住宅预计于明年年初具备入住条件。项目还规划了 800 万平方英尺的商业空间（含酒店）、40% 的开放绿地、30 英里步道，并将提供 Charlotte 市内唯一向公众开放的 Catawba River 通道。
该地块位于 Interstate 485 与 Catawba River 之间、靠近 Charlotte Douglas International Airport，是 Mecklenburg County 剩余的最大未开发地块之一。项目 2016 年首次提出，市府已投入数百万美元用于道路、供水与排污等基础设施及重新分区。Charlotte 市议员 Tariq Bokhari 出席开工仪式并表示，市府将在项目招标中做好尽职调查，确保各类企业都能被纳入，不重蹈过去只与熟人合作的覆辙。开发商表示，整个社区将分期建设，建成可能需要长达三十年。
Groundbreaking Held for West Charlotte's River District: 1,400-Acre Planned Community Breaks Ground
The River District, a large planned community in west Charlotte, North Carolina, held a groundbreaking ceremony on October 21, formally launching the 1,400-acre mixed-use project. Developer Crescent Communities said it will include more than 2,300 single-family homes, 2,350 multifamily apartments and additional senior units, over 5,000 homes and apartments in total.
More than 500 apartments and 124 houses will be reserved as affordable housing in a community called Westrow, whose first homes are expected to be ready for move-in early next year. The project also plans 8 million square feet of commercial space including hotels, 40% open space, 30 miles of trails, and the city's only public access to the Catawba River.
The site, between Interstate 485 and the Catawba River near Charlotte Douglas International Airport, is among the largest remaining undeveloped tracts in Mecklenburg County. First proposed in 2016, the project has received millions in city investment. Councilmember Tariq Bokhari said the city would do its due diligence on bidding so all businesses are included. The full community will be built in phases and could take up to three decades.
