CAMP NORTH END - CHARLOTTE
Butner has an area along the Norfolk South Railroad corridor that is a vestiage of our past as Camp Butner. Camp North End in Charlotte is a model for what can be replicated in Butner. Today, there are a few hundred people working at Camp North End for respected companies across sectors that range from renewable energy technology to contemporary art + home decor. They are in firms large and small, but they all push their respective fields and believe in community building and supporting the neighborhoods around it. As Camp North End grows, there will be many more jobs to come, too, and more amenities and attractions for the north end district. Click on the image above to read more.
