CHARLOTTE — Charlotte is considering a major development near the airport, with plans calling for restaurants, hotels, office space and additional parking on 39 acres.
City Council will hold a public hearing Monday on the proposed Destination District, which Crosland Southeast wants to build near Josh Birmingham Parkway and Wilkinson Boulevard.

The development would also be located near a planned light rail stop, creating a new destination just outside Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
However, city staff is currently opposed to the proposal, raising concerns that the plans are too focused on cars rather than other ways for people to get around.
Monday’s public hearing will give the community an opportunity to weigh in on the proposed project.
