The fibers that bind Kannapolis, NC

"I think the future of Kannapolis is very bright. We’ve bounced back every time, with the goal that we will succeed, we will survive, we will make this work."

• Phil Goodman, Kannapolis historian

The story of Kannapolis, NC, is one of growth and resilience. After transforming from a rural farming community to a bustling manufacturing center, the town enjoyed an explosive era of development and opportunity.

Unfortunately, like many cities built on industrial work, when the factories closed, it devastated the community.

But the people of Kannapolis weren’t willing to just move on and let the town fade into memory. They committed to building back stronger, and with the support of local partners like Kinetic, they’re thriving.
