Eastland Mall site is perfect place for a medical school

There is lip-service given to the need for a medical school in Charlotte, but no movement to fund such a project.

Yet, the Charlotte City Council is spending huge sums to upgrade our sports facilities.

And, what about Eastland Mall? A medical school complex at that site would certainly be a boost to the local community and could provide accessible health care facilities.

The economic impact from a medical school easily surpasses $2 billion a year, and it would be a realistic source of jobs. So, lets put our priorities straight and take on financing of a medical school, and offer a real asset at the Eastland site!
