CHARLOTTE—Chatham Park is set to generate $80 billion in spending for Chatham County, $140 billion for the Triangle region, and $154 billion for North Carolina by the time construction is complete 40 years from now. That's according to a recent economic impact study North Carolina State University conducted.

Chatham Park is a 7,000-plus acre master-planned live, work, play sustainable community under construction in Pittsboro, NC. The project has zoning approval for 22 million square feet of commercial, office, and civic space, along with 22,000 resident units.

That will make it one of the largest master-planned communities in the nation. Nearly 2,000 acres will be set aside for parks and open space, along with 50-plus miles of walking and biking trails that will interconnect homes, offices, and shopping, and offer residents direct access to nearby Jordan Lake and the historic Haw River.
