Governor Pat McCrory has lifted North Carolina's State of Emergency declaration for the city of Charlotte upon notice that the city has lifted its state of emergency.

"I have lifted the State of Emergency declaration for Charlotte which coincides with the city lifting its declaration," said Governor McCrory. "I want to thank the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, State Highway Patrol and North Carolina National Guard for working together to restore order over the past week. We will continue working with local law enforcement and officials to offer any further assistance needed."

 On September 21, the governor made the emergency declaration upon the request of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney to assist local law enforcement.
