KANNAPOLIS, N.C. — Rowan County is in contention to land an expansion project from a manufacturer that would create hundreds of jobs.
On Monday, the Rowan County Board of Commissioners held the public hearing and summary presentation for Project Lake, an unnamed pharmaceutical manufacturer that is looking at a site in Kannapolis for a $14.1 million expansion.
