| 9 | 2022 | House | Alma Adams | Adams | Alma | A000370 | Democrat | NC | Transportation, Housing and Urban Development | Three Sisters Market Food Cooperative, Charlotte, NC, Mecklenburg County, NC-12 | THREE SISTERS MARKET FOOD COOPERATIVE, CHARLOTTE, NC, MECKLENBURG COUNTY, NC-12 | Three Sisters Market Food Cooperative is a good use of taxpayer funds as this is an innovative, community-led and community-driven solution for food security, economic disadvantage, and disenfranchisement. This initiative is targeted to address generations of food instability, and the complex interplay of dynamics of which food insecurity is only a symptom, such as community wealth, health equity and economic mobility. Food security is a public health issue that has risen to the fore in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, however for residents along Charlotte's West Blvd corridor, the pandemic has only exacerbated many facets of their lived reality in years prior. Support for the Three Sisters Market Food Cooperative is a great use of taxpayer funds in that these funds would be used to directly impact North Carolina taxpayers whom have long been under-resourced, under-employed and malnourished. | 2901 Romare Bearden Dr., Charlotte, NC 28208 | 750000 |
