MECKLENBURG COUNTY, N.C. — Mecklenburg County Commissioners got their first look at the Latta Place renovation project.
The former plantation is expected to reopen in 2026.
The county plans to add a new interpretive trail so visitors can learn about the inhabitants’ relationships with the forest, the Catawba River, and the cotton fields.
The county is also planning to create a visitors center where people can learn about the property’s history.
There will also be spots throughout the property paying tribute to people who were enslaved at the site.
