Whoa, big loss for Charlotte CRE coverage. @CBJFahey is a total pro and was a scoop machine — best of luck on the new venture!

Today is my last day at the Charlotte Business Journal. Covering growth, development and land use here over the past five-plus years has never been dull. I’ll miss covering this city tremendously but I’m excited for what’s next.
