Governor Roy Cooper was on hand Tuesday morning at the Cabarrus Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship to make a major announcement.
A beverage manufacturing, filling and distribution campus will soon call Concord, North Carolina home, bringing with it an investment of over $740 million and the creation of over 400 jobs with an average wage of $50,377.
It is the largest economic development announcement in Cabarrus County history.
Red Bull and Rauch North America are partners on the project, which includes planned construction of a state-of-the-art 2 million-square-foot beverage production hub at The Grounds at Concord – site of the former Philip Morris plant.
N.C. Commerce Secretary Machelle Baker Sanders, Concord Mayor Bill Dusch, Cabarrus County Commissioner Chair Steve Morris and Cabarrus EDC Executive Director Page Castrodale also made remarks.
