Business Leaders Make Case Against Toll Road

RALEIGH — A group of Lake Norman-area business leaders traveled by chartered bus to Raleigh on Tuesday to urge state legislators to support a bill that would cancel the state’s contract with a private company to build and operate toll lanes on Interstate 77 between Charlotte and Mooresville. Sen. Jeff Tarte, R-Mecklenburg, hosted a press conference at which he reiterated his pledge to introduce legislation doing just that.
