Microsoft and Stantec outline 614‑acre Antlers Road mitigation bank to restore wetlands and streams
Summary
Microsoft representatives and Stantec presented a plan for a 614‑acre Antlers Road Mitigation Bank to restore wetlands, streams and pollinator habitat; credits would support Microsoft and other public/private projects and the site would be conserved under a permanent easement.
Representatives from Microsoft (Kristin Vaughan and Lexi Jones) and Travis Kryoski of Stantec presented a proposed 614‑acre Antlers Road Mitigation Bank intended to restore streams and wetlands, improve water quality and provide mitigation credits for future development in Mecklenburg County and the region. Presenters said the project would include habitat restoration for pollinators and monarch butterflies and be protected by a permanent conservation easement with long‑term monitoring and stewardship.
Presenters said construction was anticipated to begin in late summer and that credits generated could be used by Microsoft and made available to other public and private projects seeking wetland and stream mitigation. The Board received the presentation; no formal action was recorded at the meeting.
