CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - What was once known as Charlotteâs âTent City,â where hundreds of tents housed those who were without a home, is now vacant.
Up until about two months ago, the homeless encampment had more than 200 residents.
That was until Mecklenburg County issued an âabatement order,â forcing all residents to leave the premises along 12 and College streets in the northern part of uptown Charlotte, effective Feb. 15, 2021. They were given just 72 hours to pack up their belonging and move on.
