City Council Meetings in Concord, Kannapolis and Harrisburg: Schedules, Public Comment and How to Watch
City councils make many of the decisions you feel close to home, from city budgets to streets, parks and land use. Every regular meeting is open to the public, and you do not need to be an expert to attend or speak. Here is when each council in our area meets and what to expect. If you live outside city limits, your local body is the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners instead.
Concord City Council
Concord City Council holds its regular meeting on the second Thursday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 35 Cabarrus Avenue West. The remaining 2026 regular meetings are November 12 and December 10. Council also holds a work session at 4:00 p.m. on the Tuesday before each regular meeting, plus a second work session from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on some Tuesdays. To see some of what council decisions shape, read how downtown Concord is coming back to life.
Agendas are posted on the Council Agenda page at concordnc.gov. The city pages we read did not explain how to sign up to speak or whether meetings are streamed, so call the City Clerk's office at 704-920-5201 before you go.
Kannapolis City Council
Kannapolis City Council meets on the second and fourth Mondays of the month at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 401 Laureate Way. Agendas are posted the Thursday before each meeting, and dates can shift around holidays, so check the city calendar.
Meetings stream live on the city's YouTube channel, and past meetings are saved in a playlist linked from the City Council page. The council's Public Hearing and Public Comments Policy was amended August 24, 2026. It explains that council generally does not debate speakers or act on public comment items that night, though the Mayor may ask staff to follow up. If you need an interpreter or other accommodation, contact the city's Human Resources office at least one week ahead; it is provided at no cost. City Clerk Pam Scaggs can be reached at 704-920-4303 or pscaggs@kannapolisnc.gov.
Harrisburg Town Council
Harrisburg Town Council holds regular meetings on the second Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. at Town Hall, 4100 Main Street. The next listed meeting is Monday, November 9, 2026.
To speak, sign up in person when you arrive, before the meeting starts. You will be asked to state your name and address for the record. The town asks speakers to be courteous, avoid repeating points others have made, and keep remarks on the topic. The calendar page did not mention a livestream; the Town Clerk at 704-455-7705 can answer agenda questions.
Tips for Speaking With Confidence
Arrive 15 minutes early so you can sign up and find a seat. Write out your main point in a few sentences, and bring a printed copy to hand to the clerk if you like. Listen for the time limit the presiding officer announces and stay within it.
Speak to the whole council, stay respectful, and expect that members may not answer right away. Public comment is for residents of every background and viewpoint, and calm, specific comments are the ones most likely to be followed up.
