Democratic National Convention Coming To Chaarlotte September 1, 2012

As the time approaches for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to come to charlotte, NC. people are in a frenzy as to what they can do and where they can go. This is a large event and the security measures being taken are going to be a hindrance to some people. From talking to different people involved with the Democratic national Convention the road blocks and access to uptown Charlotte are set to begin around August 30th and continue until the 7th of September. It is wrecking havoc on businesses and work and home sales. A lot of attorneys are not scheduling closings starting on the 30th of August until the 10th of August because they are in fear that they will not be able to get into uptown Charlotte to record the deed at the courthouse during that time. I know clients are scrambling to get homes closed before that date which is putting a backlog on some Attorney's and buyers who anticipated moving at the end of the month and around labor day. Noone knows for sure until the convention actually starts what the true impact is going to be on the everyday events and commute in and out of Charlotte. But a lot of people I know are leaving town or avoiding uptown Charlotte altogether during that week.... I found a link to an interactive map that was designed to give you some idea of what roads will be blocked and where you can and cannot go during the Democratic National Convention. Click on the link below to see what is blocked off in charlotte for that week. http://www.wcnc.com/news/dnc-charlotte-2012/extras/bInteractiveb--Where-you-can-and-cant-go-during-the-DNC-165441176.html Dave diCecco Realtor/Broker Coldwell Banker United www.davedicecco.com
