Cabarrus Today

The City of Concord government offices will close on Veterans Day, Thursday, November 11. Several services will operate on modified schedules due to the observed holiday. The city is once again partnering with Cabarrus County and the Boys & Girls Club of Cabarrus County to host a Veterans Day drive-thru tribute and televised special honoring local veterans.

The community is invited to a special drive-thru tribute to local veterans on November 11 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Boys & Girls Club of Cabarrus County. Members of the community will greet veterans with cheers and thank you signs as they parade through the parking lot. The first 300 veterans will receive appreciation bags filled with cards from local students, Food Lion gift cards, and goodies from community partners, chamber members, and county departments. According to the announcement, more information about the drive-thru event and televised "Reflections of Service" special is available online.

Regarding city services, garbage, recycling, and bulky waste collection will operate on a normal schedule, but customers are reminded to place yard waste at the curb by 6:00 a.m. at the start of the week. Although there will be no yard waste or loose leaf collection on Veterans Day, all yard waste and the scheduled loose leaf route will be collected by the end of the day Friday.

Rider Transit will operate on a normal schedule on Thursday, November 11, while all city parks and greenways will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Academy, Hartsell, and Logan Multi-Purpose Recreation Centers will follow holiday hours and open from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on November 11. However, the David Phillips Activity Center will be closed on Veterans Day.
