Statement on Juneteenth proclamation:

The following statement is being shared on behalf of the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners.

During Monday night’s Regular Meeting, the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution recognizing June 19 as Juneteenth.

This approval showed majority support for celebrations of the holiday locally and across the country.

As stated in the proclamation, the majority of the board recognizes that the day “represents the effective end of chattel slavery in the United States and symbolizes the triumph of freedom, justice and the American ideal that all men are created equal.”

In addition to Juneteenth, the board believes in recognizing the many celebrations that commemorate freedom in the United States.

Any comment about the dissenting vote on the proclamation should come from the individual who cast that vote.

In case you missed it, Cabarrus County Commissioners voted on Monday (June 15) to adopt the FY27 budget, which takes effect July 1.

The budget maintains the current tax rate of 57.6 cents per $100 of assessed value. With that, owners of a $361,120 home (the median single-family assessed home value in Cabarrus) would pay $2,080.05 a year in County property tax.
