Description

Ask questions and get answers directly from your community leaders in regards to economic development in Cabarrus County. Cabarrus County has been fortunate enough to make several significant economic development announcements in the last year, highlighting that our community is not only a great place to live but also the right place to do business. These companies will make investments in the county that will diversify the tax base and improve the quality of life for residents, making it easier for Cabarrus County to thrive. But growth in any community often comes with concerns and your local leaders want to hear what those are. Senator Paul Newton and Representative Kristin Baker are inviting members of the community to come together from 8am-10am on March 28 at the Laureate Center in Kannapolis to ask questions and learn about how state and local governments work together with education and workforce partners to both recruit new industry and support existing businesses of all sizes. You’ll also hear more details about recent economic development announcements, as well as future goals and strategies of the Cabarrus Economic Development Corporation moving forward. Joining Senator Newton and Representative Baker are: Page Castrodale, Executive Director, Cabarrus Economic Development CorporationSteve Morris, Chair of the Cabarrus County CommissionersHolly Grimsley, Chair of the Cabarrus County School BoardCraig Lamb, Vice President of Corporate and Continuing Education, Rowan-Cabarrus Community CollegeIn preparation for this event, the Cabarrus EDC is encouraging the public to text their questions ahead of time to 704-610-7601. This is a way for those who are unable to attend to ask questions regarding economic development and get answers directly from your community leaders.
