Kannapolis, North Carolina, was once home to Cannon Mills, at one time the largest manufacturer of sheets and towels in the world. Cannon Mills later became Fieldcrest Cannon, Inc., and then, in 1997, part of the Pillowtex Corporation. In December of 2004, David Murdock purchased the former Cannon Mills Plant One at auction and in 2005, in partnership with the University of North Carolina system, announced plans for a 1.5 billion dollar scientific and economic revitalization project. In 2008 the first buildings were dedicated on the new North Carolina Research Campus.
