Locust Town Center

When people realize just how thriving Locust Town Center really is, they ask “Why Locust?” Why has this modern-day “new” town with its many shops, businesses, professional and municipal services grown in spite of our challenging economy and will soon celebrate the grand opening of its new expansive city hall and government center?

As most visitors would admit, they expected a town center of this scope, land planning and distinctive architecture to have emerged closer to one of its neighboring metropolitan areas, perhaps Charlotte. But Locust Town Center and the City of Locust had the rare opportunity to recreate and centralize the town itself, the way small towns in America grew up originally...and in a setting that's simply refreshing.

The City of Locust’s most distinguishing assets are its small hometown character, its lifestyle and people who value their evolving history and traditions.

The City of Locust calls itself a "city with a soul"- we say it's a city with a future.
