KANNAPOLIS – The city of Kannapolis is seeking residents to serve on several boards and commissions.

Members are needed for the Board of Adjustment, Planning and Zoning Commission,  Community Development Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, and Downtown Kannapolis Inc. Commission.

To serve, residents must complete an application and be appointed to the board or commission by the City Council.

Most of the boards and commissions participate in the city’s policy decisions by making recommendations to the City Council.

Board terms are staggered three-year terms and generally end June 30 of each year. However, applications are accepted on a continual basis and kept on file for consideration in the event of a vacancy.

Applicants must be 18 years old and a resident of Kannapolis, with the exception of the extraterritorial jurisdiction seats on the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Adjustment.

Meetings are typically held once a month in the evening, but each commission varies.

Anyone interested in finding out more about each commission or who wants to apply can fill out an application at www.kannapolisncgov.
