Let's get rockin!

On Friday, May 17, we’re teaming up with the Pottstown Heritage Group to host Rock the Block in the Pottstown neighborhood of Huntersville.

The neighborhood holds a rich history as one of Mecklenburg County’s oldest Black communities, built by and for African Americans in 1909. The community remains strong today despite the persistent desire to develop areas surrounding the neighborhood. In an effort to help preserve the legacy, history and stability of the neighborhood, Habitat Charlotte Region and the Pottstown Heritage Group will bring volunteers together to complete basic home repairs, maintenance and beautification projects such as mowing lawns, replacing mailboxes, cleaning gutters or planting flowers for residents of the neighborhood.
