Charlotte prepares as the transient home for 50 000 soldiers with a vast cantonment soon to rise north of the city. The plan includes aviation field remount stations rifle ranges and hundreds of acres for maneuver grounds as business leaders fund the project.
About 10 000 acres near Charlotte are being converted into a cantonment for Western States troops and army air corps. The 2 500 acre main camp sits three miles west of the city with thousands of workers, streets, rails, water mains, and telegraph lines rapidly taking shape. Charlotte’s climate and transport links, power plants, banks, hotels, and civic facilities are highlighted as reasons for selecting the site, named Camp Greene in honor of General Nathaniel Greene.
