The City of Charlotte has begun construction to replace the former Economy Inn site on W. Sugar Creek Road with new affordable housing. This project is part of the Corridors of Opportunity initiative, which focuses on improving economic mobility, neighborhood stability, and community investment in key areas across the city.

The redevelopment will create new, attainable housing units for local families and supports the broader vision for strengthening the I-85/Sugar Creek corridor through safer environments, increased housing options, and long-term economic growth.
