Community Proposal for Parcel 20517125 Development​

​

Residents in the Nations Ford/Arrowood area propose the following plans for the 15-acre parcel at the corner of England and E. Arrowood:

​

​

​

​

1. Creation of a Community Park

• Request that the City of Charlotte sell undevelopable acres from Parcel 20517125 to Mecklenburg County for $1.

• Mecklenburg County would then develop a park featuring:

  • Basketball courts

  • Soccer fields

  • Playground

  • Skate park

  • Pickleball courts

  • Outdoor amphitheater

• This park will provide essential recreational and gathering spaces for families and youth in our community.

​

2. Non-Profit Hub in Mixed-Use Commercial Spaces

• Designate a portion of commercial spaces within the development for non-profits serving our community, such as:

  • ourBRIDGE for Kids

  • Despierta

  • Transforming Nations Ford

  • Urban League of Central Carolinas' Alternatives to Violence Program (ATV)

• Offer subsidized rent of $1 annually for these organizations to ensure their resources remain accessible to residents.

• These non-profits offer intergenerational programs supporting education, violence prevention, and community well-being, fostering a region where every individual can thrive, regardless of background or circumstance, within the 28273, 28217, and 28210 zip codes.
