“After searching at length without success for additional industrial space I contacted the Cabarrus EDC. I explained to Samantha Grass what I needed and she informed me of a 98,450 sq/ft building that was unoccupied, not on the market, but could be bought. It was perfect for what we needed and we closed in January. Thanks to Samantha and the Cabarrus EDC team, we are able to grow and add jobs in our home city/county.”
