More than a year has passed and nothing has happened. Does anyone know what the delay is?

Good question - I can't find any useful info. The NCDOT project number is U-5806, but all I can find is "in progress"

I think it is happening as utility work seems to be happening and this affects my new Krispy Kreme store I am acutely aware.  A temporary drainage basin has been built too. I will take some photos of what I speak of next time I am over there.

REGARDING FORMER SUPER KMART PROPERTY.

Sears, as noted, will stay where it is. 

A bowling alley, Stars and Strikes, will take the middle section.

 

Elevation-Concord, will move into the section closest to Poplar Tent Rd where the auto center was,was well as some of the former store proper.  Plans are for the Church to relocate to the new location around April 2020.

Elevation Church-Concord currently meets at J.M. Robinson H.S on Pitts School Rd about a mile off of Concord Parkway (hwy 29).

The hospital in Concord has changed names like 20x over the years.

-Cabarrus Memorial Hospital 

-NorthEast Medical Center 

-Carolinas Medical Center-Northeast 

Atrium-Northeast

And now it's being called 

Atrium-Cabarrus 

haha

Anyway,

-Cabarrus County finally has a Shomar's located in Afton Village. Exit 54 off 85.

-PDQ has opened at Northlite Shopping Center in a former McDonalds. There is also a PDQ just passed Concord Mills across from Lowe's Hardware.

The West Cabarrus YMCA has gifted land for Dalton Park(which has an entrance on Poplar Tent Rd.) However the park winds it's way behind Afton Village. The YMCA is in Afton Village.
