The Town of Davidson is considering doing away with the charette process, but not eliminating public input completely. Town planners will still hold public meetings, just not quite as many as before. I hope you enjoyed the article. Thanks for your comments, Jan. The Town of Davidson is considering doing away with the charette process, but not eliminating public input completely.

Town members want to be competitive and inviting to businesses but want to be tactful and methodic (and well informed) in their approach. As a broker working on commercial development, I see the issues and challenges firsthand that the developers have in getting sometimes simple projects through the red tape and yet as a resident of Waxhaw, I, too, want tasteful projects that enhance our small town. There has to be a way of bringing these two together and making it work.
