r/huntersville

I wanted to bring something happening in our area to the attention of the Charlotte/Huntersville community. I live two blocks from this proposed development so it's very personal to me, my family, and my neighbors.

A Sheetz gas station is being proposed for the corner of Eastfield Rd & Prosperity Church Rd, and the rezoning is currently moving through the process.

I know there’s already a lot of development happening around here — the construction behind across the street is expected to become a McDonald’s and Taco Bell. We can't stop every development project, nor should we. But I do think it's worth asking whether another gas station is really the best use for this particular corner, especially when there are already 5 gas stations within a 2 mile radius of this spot.

And to be clear: I actually like Sheetz. This isn't about being anti-Sheetz. It's about whether this location is the right place for another gas station and what our community could get instead.

A group of Eastfield Ridge neighbors have put together a small campaign website and petition to raise awareness and encourage City Council to deny the proposed rezoning:

If you live anywhere in Charlotte (particularly Huntersville or District 4 - University area), please take a look, sign if you agree, and share it with anyone who might be affected. Even if you don't live in this area, I'd genuinely be interested in hearing what other Charlotte residents think about the proposed development.

We're also looking for neighbors who want to help with things like:

• Door-to-door/community outreach
• Flyers
• Yard signs (printed or homemade?)
• Organizing neighborhood meetups
• Getting the word out online

If you're interested in helping, feel free to comment or send me a DM.

We're your neighbors, too, and we're just trying to make sure the people who actually live here have a voice in what happens at this intersection.

Hello, my name is Nina, and I am currently a dental hygiene student at Central Piedmont Community College. I am looking for patients for the Summer 2026 semester beginning in mid-May.
If you are due for a dental cleaning or have not had a cleaning in a long time, this would be a great opportunity to receive care at a reduced cost. If you or someone you know may be interested in scheduling an appointment, please feel free to contact me using the phone number or email listed below for additional information.
