Special Use Permit Applications Before the Board

Recycling Program Expansion
Kannapolis is stepping up its recycling game by letting you toss more items into your curbside bin, all thanks to some fresh upgrades at nearby sorting facilities. That means less trash heading to the landfill and an easier time doing your part for the environment.

A resident questioned local leaders regarding state legislation (Senate Bill 876) that shifted Kannapolis municipal elections to partisan contests in even-numbered years, reducing local voter focus.
