Environmental Impact Statement for Transportation Improvements Within the West Corridor, Charlotte, NC

There is a possibility that the corridor may be extended an additional 16 miles to the West, to the City of Gastonia in Gaston County. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg region is developing an integrated land use and supportive transit plan. Building on the 2025 Integrated Transit/ Land Use Plan for Charlotte-Mecklenburg, four corridor Major Investment Studies (MISs) are being prepared for the North, Northeast (University), Southeast (Independence), and West (Airport) corridors. A previously-prepared MIS for the South Corridor resulted in a light rail transit project for that corridor. The EIS will be prepared following completion of a MIS for the West Corr
