The Charlotte City Council approved a resolution to set a public hearing for November 24, 2025, for the voluntary annexation of the 32.3-acre Emerson Pond site. The property, owned by Michael S. Williams and Karen M. Williams, consists of three parcels in eastern Mecklenburg County. The petitioner, NVR, Inc., plans to redevelop the currently undeveloped site with 120 duplex and triplex units. Annexation will allow for more orderly development review and the extension of city services. The property is currently zoned N1-A in Charlotte’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
