One of the best and often worst things about living in a growing city is the expansion of the airport. A busier airport equals more access and is a critical part of the economy. However, those, who live along the traffic patterns of the Charlotte airport, have literally had their windows shaking. If that made you want to put the for sale sign up, there may be a simple solution that offers mutual benefits. Don’t think about moving until you have considered windows that reduce noise. Better windows keep spaces quiet.
Neighbor sees pros and cons of airport expansion
In a recent Charlotte Observer Op-Ed, a resident shared that he understands why the traffic has increased. Charlotte is a hub; it’s an advantageous position. Along with the increase in flights, the FAA made a change to traffic patterns, the biggest one in decades. These long-known patterns were used for property owners and developers. This shift has now become a disruption to thousands of Charlotte homeowners. You may have lived in your neighborhood for years. Don’t leave because of shaky windows. With quality window replacement from your Charlotte area expert, Belk Builders, you can expect a robust, durable window that reduces noise.
