Mobile Workshop: Moving from a Banking Center to a New Uptown (Ticketed Event)

WALKING TOUR:  Charlotte is the second largest banking center in the United States. The two largest banks here (now Bank of America and Wells Fargo) have transformed the center city with their growth, but also in the cultural and entertainment-oriented places and projects they have supported. Most of the development has been a huge success, but there are a few bloopers in the mix and this tour will visit those places as well. In a walking tour from the Convention Center throughout the Central Business District, attendees will see places that would have never been built were it not for the leadership of the city’s financial institutions and critical public-private partnerships.  Note: Please enjoy lunch on your own before the tour.
