Downtown Belmont, NC.
Erin Keever

For years, those in the know have referred to Belmont as a hidden gem. Just down I-85 from Charlotte, Belmont started as a railroad and textile hub in the late 1880s and today is thriving with a burgeoning Main Street with restaurants and antique shops, a nearby college and the Daniel Stowe Botanical garden. There’s even talk of bringing trolley service back to town. Belmont is benefiting from the region’s growth and we look into how they’re handling it.
