Mr. <br />Osborne reviewed the activities of the last 18 months in downtown Concord, <br />including 16 new businesses and creation of 53 new jobs. He outlined the <br />future planned developments, including the continuation of numerous <br />renovations into office, retail and residential spaces as well as the <br />completion of the design for a new police station at the corner of Cabarrus <br />Avenue and Spring Street. Mr. Greene outlined a number of reasons to keep <br />the Courthouse downtown, including the Courthouse brings over 1,300 visitors <br />daily to downtown Concord, it is a ~destination" for downtown and it is <br />symbolic to Concord's downtown. Finally, Mr. Greene stated the City's <br />willingness to work with the County in finding a suitable location for the <br />new facility. <br /> <br /> There was lengthy discussion regarding downtown Concord and the <br />construction of a new Jail/Justice Center. Issues addressed during the <br />discussion included the following: (1) Plans to build a jail/courts facility <br />that will serve the citizens for 40 to 50 years; (2) Location of ~downtown" <br />Concord in future years; and (3) Desirability of locating a new jail/court <br />facility in downtown Concord. <br /> <br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Carruth, seconded by Commissioner Privette <br /> and unanimously carried, the Board named Chairman Freeman and vice Chairman <br /> Suggs to the Architect Screening Committee.
