Odell School, North Carolina

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Odell School is a community in northwestern Cabarrus County, North Carolina, named for Odell School, an elementary school that is part of the Cabarrus County Schools system. The township occupies an area between Huntersville and Concord.

As of late there has been considerable push to incorporate the community. In a movement known as BLOCK (Better Land-use for Odell, Cabarrus, and Kannapolis), citizens have pushed for incorporation to halt the recent attempts by the city of Kannapolis to annex the area and use it as an enlargement for their tax base.

The Cabarrus County seat of Concord is located some 11 miles east of Odell School. To the west lie the North Mecklenburg towns of Huntersville and Davidson, located on the eastern bank of Lake Norman. The community consists of a volunteer fire department, gas station, elementary school,and 1,100 residences. The community center lies at the crossroads of Odell School Road and North Carolina Highway 73.
