“Kannapolis is a thriving city of 40,000 located along the I-85 corridor just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. A central point in the high-growth area north of Charlotte’s city center, Kannapolis is less than 30 minutes from I-77, Uptown Charlotte, Charlotte Douglas International Airport and the University of North Carolina Charlotte.
Kannapolis is home to the NC Research Campus, a $1.5 billion life sciences hub that is home to eight universities. The Campus, which will be completed within the next five years, is already home to private firms like Red Hat, PPD and PepsiCo. You can check out the Campus by clicking here.
Not only is Kannapolis an emerging biotech powerhouse, but the City also has a proud motorsports tradition. The hometown of Dale Earnhardt, the City continues its strong racing legacy with major teams like Stewart Haas Racing headquartered here. For more information about Dale Earnhardt, click here.

For families, Kannapolis offers a Summer Events Series that features concerts, live arts, storytelling and movies each weekend. Our park system boasts a train, splash pad, athletic facilities and greenways. Our minor league baseball team, the Kannapolis Intimidators, provides outstanding entertainment, fireworks and of course, professional baseball for much of the year.
Nearby Charlotte also offers a wealth of opportunities to enjoy the arts, cultures and sports. The NFL Panthers and the NBA Bobcats call Charlotte home. The Mint Museum of Craft & Design is in the process of building a major new campus in uptown Charlotte, and the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center hosts operas, symphony performances and Broadway musicals.”
The North Carolina Research Campus is located in the heart of downtown Kannapolis, North Carolina. Kannapolis is part of the greater-Charlotte area, and the region surrounding this city is one of the top growth areas in the country. This Bio Tech facility is the brain child of Mr. David Murdoch of the Dole Fruit empire. It is a field Mr. Murdoch is very passionate about, and his commitment to this new venture is evident with the support from major universities, pharmaceutical companies, and international organizations with a vested interest in these studies.
North Carolina is consistently at the top of Site Selection Magazine’s business climate ranking, and Kannapolis’ competitive tax structure, incentives, location, and eagerness to partner with business make the city attractive to relocating or expanding businesses. The city is strategically located along the I-85 corridor, just a 30-minute drive from uptown Charlotte.
As an area native, I am most excited that the new North Carolina Research Campus has arrived in Cabarrus County. What a wonderful opportunity to create something amazing by making a mark with cutting-edge research in the field of biotechnology.
