The City of Con- <br /> cord conveyed Lake Concord an d 340 acres to Cabarrus <br /> County for development as a public park. <br /> <br />Partnerships <br />The success of the programs sponsored by the Special <br />Populations/Special Events Division is due to the ex- <br />cellent cooperation we have had with individuals, non- <br />profit organizations, local businesses and corporations, <br />and other government agencies throughout the county <br />and region. Without their financial support, individual <br />leadership, and active participation the diverse range of <br />recreation opportunities offered by this division would <br />not have been possible. <br /> <br />Due to space limitations we can not list each individual <br />name and organization, however we would like to <br />thank all of our co-sponsors and volunteers for a very <br />successful year. <br /> <br />Proposed Park at Lake Concord <br />On May 11, 1995, the officials of Cabarms County and <br />City of Concord agreed to merge their water/sewer <br />services. The City of Concord conveyed Lake Concord <br />and 340 acres to the County for development as a public <br />recreational park. On May 17, 1995, the City of Kan- <br />napolis and Cabarrus County signed a letter of intent <br />that will lead to cheaper water rates for newly annexed <br />areas of the City and a park at Lake Concord. A <br />stipulation of the letter of intent is that the City of <br />Kannapolis will pay $390,000 to Cabarrus County over <br />a period of three years to develop a County Park at Lake <br />Concord. <br /> <br />With assistance from the Cabarrus County Sheriff's <br />Department, a limited rental boat fishing program was <br />implemented at the Lake Concord facilities. Bakers <br />Creek Park coordinates the permitting and collection of <br />fees for these boat rentals. <br /> <br /> <br />
