- ➤ The City of Concord has faced criticism over a D.R. Horton proposal to build over 2,000 homes and commercial space at Concord Farms on George Liles Parkway, as city officials gave the project a zero on sewer allocation due to zoning issues—leaving many questions unanswered. Downtown wi-fi tests showed mixed results, Wells Fargo will close its 50 Union St. branch by Sept. 10, and Earthfare in the Concord Mills area will close later this month while a former reporter launches a new local venture.
