Abstract:

A school facility is the most expensive public facility that is provided by North Carolina state and local governments. Beyond academic instruction, the school facilities can become activity centers for the communities surrounding them. Land costs, however, are usually the bottom line in school development rather than the positive and negative implications that the location of schools facilities can have on an area. Lentz discusses the school location and development issue and describes what steps Cabarrus County took to improve the process.
