Abstract:

"The once 'dead' mill town has come back to life with a revitalization strategy similar to Durham's. It is a new antidote to Charlotte's skyrocketing real estate prices." In 1982,California billionaire, David Murdock bought then struggling Cannon Mills and all of Kannapolis. Kannapolis incorporated as a city two years later.
