Anthony Foxx to speak in Charlotte next week
Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx, a former Charlotte mayor, will speak at a smart-cities event in the city next week.
Envision Charlotte, an initiative to boost sustainability in uptown’s commercial buildings, will host the three-day Envision America workshop. The event will be closed to the public.
Ten U.S. communities will meet with technology experts and business partners to learn how to launch initiatives that, like Charlotte’s, use innovative technology to address energy, water, waste and air issues.
Foxx will talk about technology impacts on transportation at 9 a.m. Thursday.
