KANNAPOLIS, N.C. - David Murdock told the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce in a speech that he plans to construct three new buildings at the N.C. Research Campus in Kannapolis. The billionaire owner of the campus and Dole Food Co. did not give details.
After a flurry of activity that resulted in four buildings and a parking deck that opened in 2008, construction at the $1.5 billion life sciences complex has slowed during the recession. Only the new Rowan-Cabarrus Community College building is under way.
Lynne Scott Safrit, president of campus developer Castle & Cooke North Carolina, would not elaborate on Murdock's comments, made during the Charlotte Chamber's annual planning retreat in Pinehurst.
"We're not ready to announce particulars yet," Safrit said in an e-mail.
