Opportunities
Brooklyn Village is a unique opportunity in Charlotte's history. Over the next 10 years, we will work with vendors to design, construct and operate nearly 2.3 million square feet of housing, office, retail and cultural facilities.
Minority, Woman-owned, and Small Business Enterprises (MWSBE) will find tremendous opportunity along with forward visibility and an adequate timeframe to strategically plan to achieve long-term personal and business goals. We are committed to racial and economic diversity for this project with a 35% MWSBE participation goal. Hundreds of millions of dollars are to be funneled directly into the minority and small business community, but only if you get involved. We hope you will.
