CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte celebrated the grand opening of The Pearl, a new medical innovation district, on Monday.
“It brought tears to my eyes to think what this was … it was nothing but ground,” Brooklyn Coalition member Minnie Thompson said. “We played on this playground.”
The public-private partnership between Atrium Health and Wexford Science & Technology aims to bring together medical education, surgical training and health technology innovation. The new complex is located on McDowell Street and is bringing in thousands of new jobs.
