Decks in a suburb younger than Charlotte's growth
Harrisburg wasn't incorporated until 1973 and didn't get its own town hall until 1980, so most of its neighborhoods were platted as suburban subdivisions rather than laid out around a historic core. Sitting in the southwest corner of Cabarrus County against the Charlotte line, its lots tend to be larger and more open than older mill-town lots nearby.
What that means for outdoor living space
A 1970s-or-later subdivision lot in Harrisburg typically has more usable open yard than an older in-town parcel, giving a deck more room to work with for entertaining space, but also less mature tree cover for shade, something worth planning for in Piedmont summer heat.

Planning notes for Harrisburg
Cabarrus County and its towns generally require a permit for an attached or elevated deck, and Harrisburg's setback and floodplain rules can affect where a new deck can sit, worth checking before design work starts.
