Governor Cooper shared the following statement on the announcement that Charlotte will host the 2019 NBA All-Star Game:
“Today’s NBA announcement is positive news for Charlotte. Hosting the All-Star Game will pump millions of dollars into our economy and provide an incredible showcase for our state, but it will also remind us of the work that remains to ensure equal rights and protections for all North Carolinians. I’m glad the NBA recognizes the progress we’ve made and will continue to be a partner as we push for statewide LGBT protections."
