December 2024 Luncheon: “Cultivating Prosperity: Development Insights from Cabarrus and Iredell Counties”

December 10, 2024 In Luncheon Summary

December 2024 Luncheon: “Cultivating Prosperity: Development Insights from Cabarrus and Iredell Counties”

Submitted by Julie Pruett, Marlboro Development Team

Grant Miller, Executive Vice President at Colliers, moderated an engaging panel discussion on economic development and key projects in Cabarrus and Iredell Counties during CREW Charlotte’s final luncheon of 2024. Miller was joined by Jay Blanton, Managing Partner at Insite Properties, LLC; Jenn Bosser, President & CEO of the Iredell County Economic Development Corporation; and Irene Wong, Economic and Community Development Director for the City of Kannapolis.

The panel highlighted the recent growth in the thriving northeastern communities within the Charlotte MSA. Jenn Bosser shared how Iredell County has prioritized industrial product development over the past five years, noting that they were “in the right place at the right time” with strong support from elected leaders. Similarly, Irene Wong emphasized that Kannapolis has experienced its most significant economic development project announcements in history within the last few years. With major additions like Eli Lilly and Red Bull, Cabarrus County is flourishing. Meanwhile, Jay Blanton detailed how his team at Insite Properties capitalized on this growth by acquiring property surrounding The North Carolina Research Campus and proposing substantial residential development on many of the adjacent parcels.

 

A common theme among the panelists was the importance of collaboration in making communities attractive for development. They emphasized strong relationships with governmental bodies, including economic development organizations, permitting offices, and elected officials. Additionally, they discussed how existing and planned infrastructure improvements—including utilities—have been and will continue to be a key driver of growth in these communities.

 

The insights shared by the panel underscored the importance of strategic planning, collaboration, and visionary leadership in shaping the future of these vibrant communities. Cabarrus and Iredell Counties hold tremendous potential for continued growth, further strengthening the Charlotte Region as a dynamic hub for business and development.

October 2024 Luncheon: Inspiring Fireside Chat with April Simpkins on Mental Health and Suicide Awareness

 

Submitted by Julie Pruett, Marlboro Development Team

 

April Simpkins, a dynamic advocate for mental health, spoke at CREW Charlotte’s October luncheon. April is certified in QPR Suicide Prevention Training, Mental Health First Aid, and Emotional CPR. After the heartbreaking loss of her daughter, Miss USA 2019 Cheslie Kryst, who battled depression, April co-authored the deeply moving memoir By The Time You Read This: The Space Between Cheslie’s Smile and Mental Illness, now a New York Times bestseller. At the luncheon, April shared powerful insights from her story and highlighted important mental health resources.

April emphasized that there were two emotions she refused to allow on her grief journey: guilt and blame. “You cannot blame an illness,” she explained, focusing instead on gratitude for the 30 years she had with Cheslie. She also addressed the coping mechanism of staying “busy” and the importance of transferring grief from the mind to the heart, urging the audience to truly feel their grief in order to heal. April credited empathetic women leaders and her close-knit community of friends for supporting her through her grief, reminding us all not to be afraid to lean on others.

April stressed the importance of speaking openly and frequently with children about mental health, ensuring they feel seen and heard. She advised against talking at your children about your own experiences, which may not resonate with the challenges they face today. Instead, she encouraged teaching children that it’s okay not to be okay, while guiding them toward healthy coping strategies, such as expressing their emotions and identifying next steps.

To best support others, April recommended familiarizing yourself with helpful resources, such as:

– National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)

– Dial 988 – Suicide & Crisis Lifeline

– Emotional CPR resources on AprilSimpkins.com
