City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County to host Quality of Life Explorer training sessions
|
|
The City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County recently released the updated Quality of Life Explorer, an online tool that provides snapshots of social, housing, economic, environmental, health and safety conditions in local neighborhoods.
On Wednesday, June 3, the City and County will host two training sessions at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center, located at 600 East 4th Street in Charlotte. Stop by to learn how the Explorer can help you determine neighborhood priorities, plan for the future and connect to resources that will help you take action on issues that matter most to you.
The sessions, which will be held at 3:30 and 6:30 p.m., will also feature a tour of the Quality of Life Explorer, examples of how the community is using the tool to drive change, and a hands-on dashboard tutorial.
