Welcome to Telling Our Stories, a podcast by Regency on the Lake, a premier luxury real estate firm based in the Lake Norman and greater Charlotte, North Carolina area. In this episode, Josh Johnson sits down with Cornelius Mayor Woody Washam to explore the past, present, and future of Cornelius and its surrounding communities. From family roots to the town's exciting growth, they share heartfelt insights on what makes Lake Norman, Davidson, Cornelius, and the greater Charlotte region such special places to live, work, and invest. Mayor Washam discusses his lifelong connection to Cornelius, his decades of community service, and his perspective on thoughtful growth, infrastructure, and preserving the unique fabric of Lake Norman's towns.
