US 74 Corridor Comp/Downtown Plan

Wingate, NC

Randall Gross / Development Economics worked as part of a planning team on a comprehensive and downtown plan for Wingate, North Carolina, and specifically the US Highway 74 Corridor from through Wingate (near Monroe). Wingate is a town located on the eastern edge of the Charlotte Metro Area. As input to this planning effort, Mr. Gross provided retail and housing market analyses that also examined Wingate’s position within Union County and the Metro Charlotte market base, as well as strategic input on development, marketing, and management within the corridor, the town, and specifically the downtown area. Mr. Gross recommended a strategic role for Wingate University, which is the largest employer in the community, building on the strengths of its rapidly-growing pharmacy school to integrate new campus and spin-off activities within the corridor as anchors for redevelopment.
