The County was incorporated in 1768, named after the German homeland of Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III, the then-reigning monarch. The economy and the community transformed from one primarily tied to the textile industry to a major banking and financial center in the U.S. and is home to several Fortune 500 companies including Bank of America, Duke Energy, Nucor, Honeywell and Truist Financial.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT

The North Carolina Constitution gives residents of all counties the right to elect a Board of County Commissioners (BOCC).

The BOCC are committed to serve the residents, workers, and visitors as a premier service provider. The County Manager serves as the Chief Executive Officer, managing the daily affairs of the county departments with its 5,800 full-time employees and $2.16 billion operating budget.

DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

Created in July 1973 by joint action of the Charlotte City Council and the Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission (HLC) derives all of its powers from State Enabling Legislation. The fundamental purpose of the Commission is to recommend the designation of properties (real and personal) for historic landmark designation and to secure the preservation of same through exercising design review and by acquiring and selling fee simple or lesser included interests in endangered historic landmarks.

The HLC is an agency of Mecklenburg County. The HLC has 12 members with five key committees: Executive, Survey, Design Review, Projects, and Nominating. The Board of County Commissioners appoints 6 members, the Charlotte City Council appoints 4 members, and the Mayor of Charlotte appoints 2 members. All members are appointed for 3-year terms and are eligible for reappointment for an additional 3-year term.

The Historic Landmarks Commission protects properties in four fundamental ways.

• It recommends the designation of individually significant properties as historic landmarks.

• It buys and sells fee simple or lesser included interests in endangered historic landmarks through its revolving

fund (currently containing funds in excess of $2.5 million) and places preservation covenants in the deeds

when the properties are sold.

• It educates the general public about the significance of historic landmarks.
