CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A WBTV Investigation Monday shed light on the lack of communication from Mecklenburg County Manager Dena Diorio leading up to the Tent City abatement order last week.
On Tuesday, county leaders are trying to move on from those mistakes and focus on helping the people moved from the encampment.
In just over 24 hours, Mecklenburg County reports helping move 214 people from the Tent City encampment to hotels late last week. An abatement order issued because of a rat infestation gave people until Friday at 5 p.m. to leave.
