Eastland Area 
 
Building off the Eastland Area Plan (2003), the Charlotte City Council included Eastland as one of five priority corridors for redevelopment in its Business Corridor Revitalization Strategic Plan.  The Eastland Area includes strong commercial and international communities along Central Avenue and Albemarle Road.  Many great opportunities exist for infill development, retail and service oriented businesses.

Reports & Studies
The 2010 Business Corridor Benchmarking Analysis, a component of the 2010 Neighborhood Quality of Life Study, provides a foundation to assess the physical conditions and assets of the priority and other business corridors, sometimes encompassing the entire corridor, and other times encompassing only segments of the corridor where conditions varied within the corridor itself.
