CHARLOTTE — People who live in west Charlotte are a step closer to finally having a grocery store in their area.
The Charlotte City Council approved $1.5 million Monday night to build the Three Sisters Market near the intersection of Clanton Road and West Boulevard.
Neighbors in the area say it’s long overdue.
“Right in our own neighborhood we have children and elderly starving,” resident Vanessa Atkinson said.
