Two major publically ~wned land areas should be considered, and if at all possible, both should be acquired outright or otherwise committed to future public use. The first of these areas is Lake Concord Formerly the principal water supply fo-~--~he City 'of Con. ford, Lake Concord contains 262 acres of land and 80 acres of water. This area zs extremely well-located to serve residents of both Concord and Kannapolis. The dam which impounds this Lake is in need of major repairs, and estimates have varied greatly as to the cost of repairs. It is strongly recormnended that the County acquire title to this property by purchase or lease and that it be made available for public use. The second major area is Lake Fisher. This Lake is also strategically located. With ei~miles of shoreline, it represents an opportunity for the provision of a variety of waterbased recreations. Since this is Class I water, its potential recreation uses are somewhat limited; however~ it still represents an extremely valuable resource which should be utilized. The area comprises 48 acres of land and 277 acres of water. As in the case of Lake Concord, this land should be controlled by the County and made accessible to the public. In the event that these two properties are not made available to the public, approximately 110 acres of land for active recreation and 300 acres of land for passive recreation should be acquired in the Kannapolis area, and if at all possible, potential sites for water activities should be utilized.
