Project Description

Driving economic growth at Charlotte-Douglas Airport through strategic land use planning and regional connectivity initiatives.

MXD Development Strategists led an international consortium of planners, engineers, developers and urban designers, including Kimley-Horn, to create the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport Area Strategic Development Plan (CLT AASDP). The CLT AASDP now functions as a market-ready land use master plan built on a solid foundation of Market, Economic and Financial Analysis. MXD identified the “Highest and Best Use” Development Program to fully “Optimize Economic Development Opportunities,” within the CLT competitive context. The AASDP is a key priority in ensuring a cohesive spatial framework for CLT as well as the generation of revenues to further off-set operating costs. A key component of the AASDP is to champion regional transportation & mobility initiatives as well as to establish a Complementary and Compatible Land Use and Economic Positioning Framework for the adjacent areas and jurisdictions.
