Pleasant Highway along Adams Creek was identified as part of the approved Cabarrus CTT (Carolina Thread Trail) Greenway Masterplan, specifically, the Connector Loop to Dutch Buffalo Creek. There are 5,415 feet of identified greenway adjacent to Adams Creek on this property. Access to the property is available via an existing pump station road which WSACC (Water Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County) has an agreement to use; and, via an easement from Oldenburg Drive. The property (Parcel No. 5579356630) is currently owned by Augsburg Communities, LLC and is for sale at $282,000.00. The property owner has agreed to sell the land to the County for $141,000.00, a 50 percent reduction. A Clean Water Management Trust Fund grant for $141,000.00 was approved for this project.
