Smart Growth for Cabarrus County's Future
A Plan to Keep Cabarrus County Livable, Affordable, and Strong
The Conrad Growth Plan:
Cabarrus County is experiencing rapid growth, bringing both opportunities and challenges. To ensure our community thrives, we need a strategic approach that balances development with the preservation of our county’s unique character. The Conrad Growth Plan offers a common-sense roadmap to manage growth responsibly, protect taxpayers, and maintain the quality of life we cherish.
Build Infrastructure First
Ensure roads, schools, and utilities are in place before approving large-scale development.
Growth That Pays Its Way
Development should include the cost of the roads, schools, and services it impacts—not shifting them to Cabarrus County taxpayers.
Preserve Rural Character
Protect farmland, green spaces, and community identity by limiting sprawl and overdevelopment.
Coordinate with Our Cities
Work hand-in-hand with local municipalities to plan growth strategically and responsibly.
Transparency & Public Input
Involve residents early in the process. Make development decisions clear, open, and accountable.
