Kannapolis saw the effects of COVID-19 in 2020 just like every other town center in the area but did its best to continue to improve.
While sales tax was down, along with several other revenue streams that aid in the growth of the ever-developing Kannapolis, the city pressed forward in its quest to not only revitalize its downtown but bring jobs and homes for those looking to move to the area.
âAs growth happens in the Charlotte region and moves up the I-85 corridor, companies and people look for nearby cities to move to that offer a welcoming business atmosphere and great quality of life for their employees,â said Kannapolis City Manager Mike Legg in a statement. âWe have a forward-looking City Council and staff who have invested in the right things to ensure we attract quality companies and grow responsibly.â
