By fostering an environment that encourages businesses to grow and hire, we empower individuals with stable employment opportunities, bolstering families and reducing financial strain.

    Fueling Progress

    Over the past several years, Cabarrus County has seen unprecedented growth and accomplishment.

This can only happen when companies know there are leaders in places who support business growth. By stimulating investment, nurturing innovation, and creating dynamic job opportunities, it not only elevates the quality of life for residents but also fosters a sustainable environment for long-term success.

This intentional strategy not only reinforces local accessibility but also amplifies investment attraction, solidifying Cabarrus County as a thriving nucleus for innovation and progress.

Our Mission

Quality Cabarrus is committed to supporting and improving the way Cabarrus County and our municipal governments view their role in creating jobs and economic development. We believe that strong, informed leadership is critical to advancing new employment opportunities for the Cabarrus community.

Quality Cabarrus’ mission is to educate Cabarrus County elected officials and the general public about the value local county and state economic development programs offer to advance job creation. An active and thriving corporate community partner should support and improve our county tax base, have thriving relationships with our non-profits, improve educational opportunities, and support current local businesses and work well with our government employees and officials. These relationships will help Cabarrus County continue to be a great place to work that will enable employees and families to thrive, live and grow for generations to come. 

Quality Cabarrus believes that effective leaders should:

  • Support the efforts of the Cabarrus Economic Development Corporation and The Chamber
  • Acknowledge that economic incentives are necessary for Cabarrus County to compete with other local and state governments in recruiting new industries and expanding existing industries
  • Support economic incentives that create additional jobs for the citizens of Cabarrus County and increase tax revenue for local governments
  • Support the elimination and/or modification of county regulations that unnecessarily and unreasonably constrain the growth of business and the creation of new jobs
  • Support vigilance over and good stewardship of public funds, efficiency in county government and reasonable efforts to reduce unnecessary public spending
  • Support efforts to balance good government with constant efforts to control and reduce, where possible, the tax burden on individuals and businesses in Cabarrus County

These guidelines lay out a commonsense way to foster economic development and the growth of jobs in Cabarrus County.

Economic Development

How do incentives impact Cabarrus County?

When you look at the last 25 years, the county has awarded $38.5 million in incentives and netted $252.2 million in tax revenue from those companies.

That means the county received $6 for every $1 it has awarded in incentives.

Do you have more questions about how incentives work in Cabarrus County?
