    Land Use and Entitlements with Bridget Grant and Rob Nanfelt

    As we continue our examination of the home building process in Charlotte-Mecklenburg, we turn to two of the area’s leading experts on what you can and cannot do with a piece of land once you’ve acquired it. Bridget Grant is a land use and development consultant with Moore Van Allen and Rob Nanfelt is the executive director of REBIC (Real Estate Building and Industry Coalition), both located in Charlotte. Bridget and Rob join hosts Aaron Kersey and Morgan Smith for a discussion about how to get approval from the city and county to build your home.  Rob and Bridget explore the complex process of land entitlements, zoning, and community engagement in the greater Charlotte-Mecklenburg area. The team discusses how these factors influence housing costs, community opposition, and infrastructure planning, offering valuable insights for prospective homebuyers and developers.

    In the first episode of the Framing the Issue podcast, hosts Aaron Kersey and Morgan Smith talk about land acquisition. Any prospective home builder’s first step is to find a piece of land to build on, but in Charlotte-Mecklenburg County, that’s not so easy, or cheap. Joining Aaron and Morgan for a discussion on land acquisition is Chad Lloyd of DRB Group, Division VP of DRB Group and Cody King, Director of Land and Queen City Land. Chad and Cody offer insights into the land acquisition process from site selection to permitting and beyond. Connect with the Home Builders Association of Greater Charlotte at hbacharlotte.com.
