Join SMPS Charlotte as we learn from city and county managers in surrounding areas.
 
The Charlotte region continues to be one of the fastest-growing areas in the Southeast, driven by population influx, economic expansion, and increasing demand for infrastructure, housing, and services. As growth accelerates beyond Charlotte's core into surrounding cities and counties, regional collaboration and thoughtful planning have never been more critical.
 
Join us for an engaging panel discussion featuring city and county managers from Monroe, York County, and Gastonia as they explore the forces shaping growth and development across the region. They will share how their communities are responding to rapid change, balancing opportunity with infrastructure, and planning for sustainable futures. This dynamic conversation will offer attendees a rare, behind-the-scenes look at regional decision-making and the trends influencing where and how our communities grow.
 
Don't miss this opportunity to learn from key leaders in our area.
