Help shape the future of the region’s business landscape

Lauren Harley

Under the direction of our current legislative agenda, the CLT Alliance has successfully championed the business community’s priorities at all levels of government.

Your voice has been instrumental in achieving significant wins for our region and state, including Medicaid expansion, sports wagering, upgrades to Bank of America Stadium, juvenile justice legislation in North Carolina, and enhanced apprenticeship tax credits, job development credits, and retraining credits in South Carolina.

As we look ahead to 2025, we need your continued input. Please take a few moments to share your feedback through our legislative survey.

Your insights are critical in shaping the issues we prioritize, the policies we champion, and how we represent your interests to policymakers.

Thank you for your participation and commitment to making the Charlotte Region a great place to do business. Your voice directly influences the future of our region’s business landscape and helps ensure that our advocacy efforts reflect the needs and aspirations of the entire business community.
