THE Focus

To Shape Cabarrus County's future.

Public Safety

While Cabarrus County's violent crime rate of 16.3 is lower than the US average of 22.7, we must maintain this safety advantage by supporting those who protect us. When you call 911, help should arrive quickly, with well-trained, well-equipped, and well-supported first responders ready to serve.

Public safety isn't a luxury, it's the foundation of everything else we want to achieve in Cabarrus County.

Economic Development

Here's the key: smart economic development strengthens our tax base WITHOUT raising tax rates. Visitor spending in Cabarrus County reached a record $566.74 million, with state and local tax revenues totaling $37.7 million from travel, representing a tax savings of $159.86 per resident, More businesses and better jobs mean a stronger economy that supports essential services while keeping taxes affordable for families.

Economic development done right means prosperity shared by all, not just a few at the top.

Healthcare

Healthcare is a family issue. When parents can't get their child's asthma under control because the specialist is too far away, when someone delays cancer screening because they can't afford the co-pay, when a mental health crisis sends someone to jail instead of treatment, these aren't just healthcare problems, they're community crises.

Quality healthcare close to home is a necessity for a healthy, thriving community.

Housing

A county where teachers, firefighters, nurses, and retail workers can't afford to live is a county in trouble. Housing is about ensuring the people who serve our community every day can afford to be part of it. Every worker deserves the chance to own a home or rent affordably in the community where they work.

Affordable housing is economic development. It's workforce development. It's keeping Cabarrus County a place where families can thrive.
