Mecklenburg County is located in the heart of the Southeast and is comprised of seven (7) municipalities: the City of Charlotte and the Towns of Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Matthews, Mint Hill, and Pineville, within the southern Piedmont area of North Carolina along the state’s border with South Carolina. 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. As of 2021, the population was over 1.12 million and continues to grow with the strong economy, excellent services and schools, as well as a diverse and friendly population.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT

The North Carolina Constitution gives residents of all counties the right to elect a Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). Since 1994, Mecklenburg County has been governed by a nine-member BOCC with six members elected by districts and three elected at-large. 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.

About Asheville

Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, Asheville boasts ruggedly beautiful scenery and maintains a reputation as an arts colony and healing resort. Its picturesque setting at the confluence of the Swannanoa and French Broad Rivers is a draw for nature lovers, while those interested in rich and varied architecture will find its mix of Art Deco, Beaux Arts, and Neoclassical styles irresistible. Notable downtown buildings representing this architectural heritage include Asheville’s city hall, the Battery Park Hotel, the Grove Park Inn, the S&W Cafeteria Building, and the Basilica of St. Lawrence, all of which offer a historical peek into the design trends of yesteryear. This beautifully preserved mountain town offers plenty to see and do; the funky, trendy downtown core boasts a variety of locally-owned shops and art galleries, live music and entertainment, and a cutting-edge culinary scene where local chefs showcase the best of Appalachian cuisine. Due to its higher elevation, Asheville enjoys a temperate climate; summer temperatures rarely climb above 90 degrees, making it one of the cooler spots in the state, while snowfall in winter is mostly confined to the nearby ski resorts. Kids will enjoy trips to the zoo or a plunge down a 60-foot natural waterslide, while a zipline tour of the city will delight folks of all ages. With its beautiful natural setting, rich historical past, and plentiful cultural opportunities, Asheville is a great place to call home!
