First phase of the expansion of the Cabarrus sewer treatment plant comes online this year. Rocky River Facility Expansion — WSACC the county is not courting water-intensive industries but there is the capacity for new industry and the county's view is that they dont want a lot warehouse distribution projects taking up a lot sewer capacity as they do not create as many jobs. Source Cabarrus EDC meetings I have attended and discussions with the county manager staff. New residential development has slowed but you would not know it from driving around Cabarrus County especially in Harrisburg and Concord.

Dilworth and Morehead high rises from Southend. The Campbell. The cranes in the distance are at Atrium Main (2nd photo)

something will be built office, hotel or residential on the rest of this block and probably be a high rise too.

they are being remedied now and for industrial job creating projects they will allocate sewer for in the county. It is just massive amounts of new houses that has been slowed but not stopped. The expansion of the sewer treatment plant should be done in a year. However the city of Concord and Kannapolis have sewer capacity for new industry. Warehouse development in Rowan has taken off due to cheaper and more available land than along I-85 in Cabarrus.

Oops I forgot that one and that is probably the biggest one . I remember the old surface parking lot there next to the old NC Federal Building at 230 S Tryon. I think Spectrum Properties did this.

Grier Heights park off Wendover getting some renovations and improvements. Grier Heights Hub to Get Much-Needed Renovations (partnersforparks.org)

that one story retail building was purposedly built there for these reasons: when the former office tower at 230 S Tryon was converted to condos that parcel was part of a surface parking lot. The pool for the condos is right behind the Ruth's Chris single story building so I doubt this building will be replaced anytime soon. Nobody wants their pool in shadows most of the day.
