Reflecting and preserving its rural heritage, Harrisburg is nevertheless a town on the move. Much of the area's considerable surge of development has occurred in conjunction with the boom in Charlotte's University area. Newcomers are drawn to Harrisburg for the low taxes, availability of prime land, and selection of attractive housing. The racing industry and a strong manufacturing sector blend well in this town, evidenced by the presence of the Fast Track High Performance Driving School and 600 Racing, Inc.—the world's largest mass producer of Legends racecars. The amenities and services in the county seat of Concord are less than seven miles from Harrisburg, although the world-class attractions in Charlotte are just 15 miles away. Those who appreciate the close-knit spirit of a smaller town that offers easy access to superb urban amenities will want to explore the neighborhoods of Harrisburg.
