Democratic National Convention 2012
Wow! This is so great for the city of Charlotte!!! We are so excited that Charlotte is being showcased nationally since it has been selected as the site of the National Democratic Convention in 2012. The convention will be
held at the city's Time Warner Cable Arena during the week of September 3, 2012.
“To be able to put Charlotte and North Carolina on an international platform, I think, is going to do great things, not only now, but long into the future,” Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx said. As many as 35,000 delegates, members of the media and political leaders will converge on Charlotte in September 2012. The event is expected to boost Charlotte’s economy, bringing new jobs, new businesses and visitor spending to the city.
“(The) decision is fantastic news for North Carolina regardless of your political party," said Gov. Bev Perdue, honorary chair of Charlotte In 2012. "A national political convention is a keystone event that will boost North Carolina's economy, while showcasing Charlotte and our state to the nation and the world."
