Kannapolis Receives Governor’s Innovative Small Business Community Award
Kannapolis - The City of Kannapolis and the North Carolina Research Campus are recipients of Governor Beverly Perdue’s 2011 Innovative Small Business Community Award. Kannapolis is one of nine North Carolina communities honored in the award’s inaugural year.
The Governor’s Award recognizes projects, strategies and initiatives that reflect excellence in community economic development, small business and entrepreneurship, and sustainability in North Carolina. Communities were selected based on their creative solutions to improve quality of life and well-being through job creation and job sustaining activities.
“We are honored to receive this award from Governor Perdue,” comments Kannapolis Mayor Robert Misenheimer. “The partnership between the City and the North Carolina Research Campus is essential to our future growth. We appreciate this recognition and look forward to continuing our work with community stakeholders to make Kannapolis a great place to live and to work.”
The City of Kannapolis was recognized for the redevelopment of the former Fieldcrest Cannon and Pillowtex industrial complex into a bioscience research campus and for the public-private partnerships formed to support development of the North Carolina Research Campus. Communities selected to receive the Governor’s Award will be recognized at an awards ceremony at the Executive Mansion in Raleigh on November 14. |
