The Rogers Lake Road extension in Kannapolis, NC, will open on Sept. 6, 2008.
The Village at Kellswater Bridge, along with the City of Kannapolis and Merrifield Partners, are planning a one-mile fun run to open the new road.
George Kiser, managing partner of Kellswater Bridge, said he wanted to highlight the partnership with the city in building the extension - which now stretches Rogers Lake Road from Kannapolis Parkway all the way to Dale Earnhardt Boulevard.
James Bennett remembers buying copies of the Independent Tribune nine years ago when he regularly ate breakfast at the Bob Evans restaurant off Speedway Boulevard in Concord, NC. He often envisioned how he’d improve the newspaper if he were editor.
Bennett got his chance Monday.
He began as the Independent Tribune’s third editor since the merging of the Concord Tribune and Kannapolis Daily Independent in 1996. He succeeded Kathy Nelson, who left the newspaper earlier this year for the Charlotte Business Journal. - Independent Tribune
Despite the area’s overall economic prosperity, leaders of Cooperative Christian Ministry envision increasing need for the nonprofit crisis assistance agency’s services in coming years.
Under a new strategic plan nine months in the making, the 27-year-old organization intends to reach further and more efficiently into the neighborhoods of its clients and work harder at empowering them to move beyond immediate needs.
“We see tremendous and in some cases unprecedented increases” in need, Hosack said. “We recognize the challenges that are coming amidst the economic glamour.”
