Kannapolis Business & Community

 

Planning a Project

Working with municipalities to locate or expand a business can sometimes prove daunting. Kannapolis prides itself on a business-friendly approach, professional staff, and willingness to work with interested parties to develop projects in a timely fashion. Our planning & community development staff can assist you with our Land Use Plan, Unified Development Ordinance, or explain our Site Plan Review Process. In addition, we can show you our featured sites and buildings or explain how our Business Privilege License works.
