Charlotte in National Spotlight Again
More Good News Charlotte!
Today, Vice-President Dick Cheney made a visit to Charlotte NC and spoke before the Charlotte Chamber. As expected, Mr. Cheney did speak about how great President Bush has been for the country. That was no surprise by any means.
However, one of the items that excited me was the acknowledgment of Charlotte’s great economy. Mr. Cheney described Charlotte as “one of the most vibrant economies.”
Let me also thank Bob Morgan, Pat Riley, and the members and the staff of the Chamber this morning for arranging my visit. It’s a pleasure to be in Queen City, here in Charlotte. You’ve built one of the most vibrant and diverse local economies in America. In this community, enterprise is encouraged, and hard work is rewarded; optimism is the order of the day. You’re a model to others, and you’ve helped make North Carolina’s economy among the fastest growing in the country. I appreciate the chance to pay a visit this morning, and I bring good wishes to all of you from our President, George W. Bush.

I love this. With all the national news about how bad the world is, how horrible the economy is and the fear of a recession, Charlotte still stands out as one of the few bright stars! In an economy where home values have fallen across America, Charlotte’s real estate market is one of just a few metropolitan areas that has actually seen an increase in values and still remains strong!
Get excited my fellow Charlotteans! You are part of a great community, and even those at the White House (during an election year no less) are taking notice!
