The family’s hometown, touted as the 11th fastest growing city in North Carolina, shows economic promise in historic buildings such as the renovated Hotel Concord, slated to contain forty apartments and five commercial spaces.

Concord, the county seat of Cabarrus County, takes its name from the harmonious resolution of a controversy over where to locate the courthouse.
