2026 Charlotte Regional Networking Luncheon, presented by the NC Biotech Greater Charlotte Region

Power, Water & Infrastructure: Can We Keep Up?

The Charlotte region continues to experience unprecedented growth, creating new opportunities while placing increasing demands on the infrastructure that supports economic development. As communities compete for new investment and jobs, the availability and capacity of critical infrastructure have become key factors in site selection, business expansion, and long-term competitiveness.

Join economic development leaders and industry experts for a timely discussion on the infrastructure challenges shaping the region's future. The panel will examine the current state of electric capacity, water and wastewater systems, natural gas availability, rail access, highway improvements, and broadband, while exploring how these issues are impacting economic development today and what investments and planning are needed to support continued growth.

Whether you're involved in economic development, utilities, local government, commercial real estate, or community planning, this conversation will provide valuable insights into one of the region's most pressing challenges. Connect with colleagues from across the Charlotte region and be part of the discussion on how we can build the infrastructure needed for tomorrow's economy.
