Charlotte’s nightlife crown jewel is in some trouble. The Ghazi Company has apparently failed in securing the proper permits required by Mecklenburg County.
The Charlotte Business Journal reported today that most of the businesses in the Epicenter have had their temporary occupancy permits either expired or will be expiring soon. Due to construction problems, delays and other disputes the permanent permits will not be issued anytime soon. The Ghazi Company has failed in several aspects of observing construction codes, for example, the elevators across from First Charlotte Physicians are still not operating. The bottom line in the dispute is that no new venues or businesses will be able to open. The current businesses will stay open, but for how long, who knows?
