The Board of Mecklenburg County
The Board of Mecklenburg County Commissioners is focused on tackling a food desert in north Charlotte.
In May, county commissioners approved $1.5 million for West Coast Spanglers Market to help build a grocery store in north Charlotte.
The addition would bridge a gap in the area's access to grocery stores and healthy food options.

Loraine Moore, a north Charlotte resident, told WCNC Charlotte's Myles Harris it takes her 30 minutes to get to the closest grocery store in the area.
Mark Jerrell, a Mecklenburg County Commissioner, said it's a mission to change that.
“Let's dispense with these food deserts in areas of food insecurity," Jerrell said about the money to add a Spangler's Market to the area. “Everyone should have access to healthy food and nutrition options, without question."
