The Town of Davidson’s South Street Steering Committee invites community members to learn about and provide input on public/community uses for the Davidson School building (former Davidson IB School and former Lake Norman Christian School), located at 251 South Street. The Town of Davidson purchased the property at 251 South Street from the Charlotte Mecklenburg School system in December 2018.

The building contains three distinct spaces -- classrooms & offices, a large open room (formerly the cafeteria), and a historic auditorium -- each of which can be put to a variety of uses. During Phase I of the Steering Committee’s work, they seek your input regarding how these spaces can be used in a way that maximizes the building’s value to the community. Please complete this short survey.

Please help us name our new park. More details are available at this link.

Should the Davidson Board of Commissioners be allowed to vote remotely during a meeting? The board of commissioners would like to amend the rules of procedure to allow voting by remote participation, if there is a physical quorum present at the meeting, and have the vote count. They requested that a question be added to Open Town Hall to gather public input. They will likely consider a vote on a potential change in rules of procedure on October 23.

The Davidson Board of Commissioners have listed public facilities as a priority in their 2018-2019 Strategic Plan. The provision of adequate space for employees to serve the citizens of Davidson into the future is a fundamental aspect of the services provided by the Town of Davidson.  After several years of planning for improvements to our public facilities, including a space needs assessment, the town has been setting aside funds for the past three years to address our public facilities needs.

The Davidson Board of Commissioners would like to hear from more citizens on this topic. Could you please take our very short survey?

At the May 8 meeting, the Davidson Board of Commissioners approved a revised 2018 meeting schedule. This new schedule reflects the cancellation of the Davidson Coffee Chat on May 21 because we have outgrown the space at The Egg at Davidson.

The new meeting schedule reflects the following: The first Tuesday of the month will be a work session at 6:00 p.m. with an agenda, starting June 5. Starting in August, we will transition to the following schedule: Meet on the first Tuesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. for a work session with an agenda Meet on the second Tuesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. for a work session with an agenda Meet on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. for a regular meeting with an agenda (includes a public comment period) The mayor and commissioners are available for one-on-one meetings with citizens. Please arrange these meetings with them individually.   

We'd like to get your input on coffee chats and the overall schedule. Could you please complete our survey?
