1947 - City zoning laws allow industry to move into Second
Ward.
|
 |
In 1947, the Charlotte Planning Commission
begins the first comprehensive zoning plans for the city. Although
white neighborhoods remain residential areas, black neighborhoods
become industrial areas. Businesses and industries are allowed to
move into Second Ward and other black sections of the city.
This makes houses more difficult to sell and encourages the flight
of African Americans to the northwest part of the city. |
