Kannapolis Economic Development Plan

Community Investment
Partnerships
Outreach

The Economic Development Plan for the City of Kannapolis, NC has one objective- to break new ground for business. That simply means we want to help you find the way to successfully start and grow your business in our city.

Our strategic location just north of Charlotte, NC off of I-85 is the first advantage Kannapolis offers to businesses. Kannapolis is centrally located along the eastern seaboard and in proximity to a majority of the US population. Our second is accessibility to many transportation routes, railways, airports and ports.

Kannapolis' approach to supporting business growth capitalizes on these significant assets with a substantial investment in our community to ensure a high quality of life. City leaders also emphasize public-private partnerships and maintain an ongoing program of outreach and education to commercial real estate brokers, lenders, businesses leaders and state and federal representatives about the investment opportunities and new developments in Kannapolis.
