About Charlotte Center City Partners

Charlotte Center City Partners (CCCP) is a non-profit organization focused on making our downtown and surrounding neighborhoods great places to live, work, and visit. South End is supported by the professional services of Center City Partners. The organization has existed since the 1980s and has provided services to South End since 2006.

Our role is to work with neighbors, public agencies and private partners to fulfill the community vision for South End: a place that is people-first, walkable, urban, vibrant, built along light rail transit, and fueled by the energy and innovation of diverse and creative people.

Our services for the district include communications, marketing and promotion of the neighborhood, producing special events and programs, advocacy, economic development, and management of some public spaces, especially along the Rail Trail.
