Charlotte to Host 2020 GOP Convention

Charlotte will be the host city for the 2020 Republican National Convention.

The Republican National Committee took a formal vote in Austin, Texas Friday morning and announced the decision a short time later.

The Site Selection Committee voted unanimously on Wednesday to recommend the convention be held in Charlotte. The vote, which took place behind closed doors Wednesday morning, was the first of two votes needed to lock the Queen City into hosting the event.

On Friday, the committee voted unanimously to award Charlotte the convention.

The RNC Framework Agreement and Arena License Agreement were both released on Friday as well. They outlined what each party would be expected to cover as Charlotte hosts the convention.
