This is a great time to buy in Cabarrus County-we're growing at a fast rate being so close to Charlotte-but just over the county line for lower property taxes and a strong public school system!  The North Carolina Research Campus in Kannapolis is booming right along in its construction phase and is scheduled to be open for the first few companies in 2007.  For more information on Cabarrus County, or more specific market information on any of these towns, contact Leigh Brown at leigh.brown@remax.net.
