CHARLOTTE, N.C. The historic Ervin Building on Independence Boulevard is under renovation to become a modern office space and restaurant, according to officials with Gvest Capital.
Officials say the renovation will take 12 months to complete, and the project will start with demoing the interior of the building down to the original structure, while preserving the historic exterior of the building that has been a landmark for east Charlotte since its inception in 1962.
Each floor of the building will be rebuilt into modern office space, and officials say the penthouse will be converted into a rooftop bar and restaurant offering 360 degree views of the Charlotte skyline.
LANSING Health officials are blaming social gatherings over last week s spring break for a spike in COVID-19 cases at Charlotte Public Schools.
Classes, including some in-person learning, resumed at Charlotte schools on Monday as students returned from spring break the week before. Since then, Barry-Eaton District Health Department has confirmed 14 new COVID-19 cases and 222 students in quarantine, according to Anne Barna, spokesperson for the health department.
Barna stopped short of calling the 14 cases an outbreak, as outbreaks involve two or more related cases.
None of the 14 cases are connected, she said, but added that the uptick could become an outbreak if case numbers continue to climb in Eaton County.
