Charlotte is growing fast—but growth alone doesn’t create a sense of place. PlaceCLT was created to help ensure the stories, spaces, businesses, and community identity that define Charlotte are preserved, celebrated, and carried forward.

The PlaceCLT Foundation preserves and creates the places that define Charlotte’s identity, character, and charm. We support placemaking, cultural heritage, preservation, and urban design initiatives that connect residents to the spaces and stories that matter most, ensuring Charlotte remains a city of meaning and belonging.
