With developments in the works all along the I-85 corridor, one of the most active locations is at the Kannapolis Crossing development at the Old Beatty Ford Road interchange at exit 65. Development is in progress at the 318 acre site, and the City of Kannapolis has started extending water and sewer lines, which should be completed by summer 2022. Once complete, there will be 500 residential units, two hotels, office and retail space, as well as restaurants plus more than 1 million square feet of industrial property.
