"My priority as commissioner is to welcome and encourage economic development in new (non-AI Data center) directions. Rowan County is uniquely positioned with the majority of available land along the I-85 corridor between Charlotte and Greensboro/Winston-Salem corridor, presenting vast opportunities for development that works with – not against – existing neighborhoods."

Living in hope can only go so far. Compassion cannot fill the cart at the supermarket. However, human dignity is worthy of consideration, and it is people like us — and those in power — who are responsible for our neighbors — whether hungry or homeless. Evelyn Uddin-Khan

A case for regular town halls from elected officials - Rob Sand - Iowa candidate for governor. Like NC, Iowa is home to many unaffiliated voters, and the message seems clear: Government needs to work for the people, not just in service to one group.

Rob Sand was born and raised in Decorah, Iowa. As Iowa’s chief publ...

Good information for folks in our county as we approach the time for fairs and other cooler-weather fun:

🚨 POSSIBLE RABIES EXPOSURE — MOBILE PETTING ZOO 🚨

Rowan County Public Health is alerting the community after NCDHHS confirmed multiple cases of rabies in baby goats connected to Farm Adventures, a mobile petting zoo based in Iredell County.

📍 Did you visit Farm Adventures — at their Harmony, NC location or at an off-site event — between July 28 and August 27, 2026 and touch, hold, feed, or have direct contact with baby goats?

If so, please call us at 704-305-8636 to talk through your possible exposure and next steps.

There are currently no confirmed exposure locations within Rowan County. We're working closely with event organizers and NCDHHS to identify where exposures may have occurred, and we'll share updates here as we learn more.

🧠 A few facts about rabies:
It spreads through bites, scratches, or contact between infected saliva and broken skin, eyes, nose, or mouth
Early symptoms can include fever, headache, fatigue, and tingling near the exposure site
Symptoms can take weeks to months to appear
Once symptoms start, rabies is almost always fatal — but treatment given promptly after exposure is highly effective at preventing illness

Don't wait for symptoms. If you think you may have been exposed, call your health care provider or Rowan County Public Health.
