Charlotte, NC has been picked to host the 2012 Democratic National Convention, which will take place the week of September 3, WCNC reports:
"Charlotte beat out St. Louis, Cleveland and Minneapolis in the bid to land the convention, which is expected to be worth big dollars to the city. City officials estimate the convention could bring $150 million to $200 million to the Queen City, according to Charlottein2012.com. Hosting the convention will also mean new construction and other jobs for the two years leading up to convention week."
