Huntersville Parking Deck Battle | Charlotte News

Huntersville’s push for a new downtown parking deck has hit a snag — the town wants a prized .7-acre lot owned by 81-year-old Ernie Lee, who’s holding firm. Initially offered $650K, Lee felt it was too low given the area’s rapid development and his home’s $450K appraisal (over $100K above tax value). Now, with negotiations through his agent and attorney, the town’s raised its bid to $795K. Lee, open to selling but wary of pressure, insists he deserves a “fair share” before retiring. Meanwhile, Commissioner Edwin Quarles skipped a meeting after a 21-year-old in his household was charged with murder.
