The Ag Building represents an era of our history which reminds us of our roots as a rural community. The Town of Cornelius Historic Preservation Committee is in the process of obtaining Historic Landmark status for the Ag Building from Mecklenburg County. This would ensure that the building be preserved and encourage a thoughtful re-purposing of the space for future generations.
