CHARLOTTE — One of the lead fundraisers for an uptown Charlotte park that will be named for retired bank executive Hugh McColl Jr. says that a $10 million fundraising campaign to pay for the park and future maintenance is on target.
Malcomb Coley, Charlotte managing partner and central region private leader at EY, told CBJ this week, “We’re off to a good start. It’s still preliminary (to disclose specific figures).”
