The Town of Mooresville Board of Commissioners has narrowly approved a request to rezone a 96.8-acre area off Transco Road, paving the way for a large multi-family development along Lake Norman. Liv Development plans to build 579 units, a 3,000-square-foot restaurant, and various amenities on the site. The developer has also agreed to construct a 1.45-mile public walkway along the lake and donate 14 acres to the town for a park. However, commissioners deadlocked 3-3 on a vote to annex the property into town limits, and the matter will be taken up again on May 15.
Commissioners Eddie Dingler, Lisa Qualls, and Gary West voted against the rezoning, citing concerns about the area being designated for industry and technical jobs, the road infrastructure’s inability to handle additional traffic, and the schools’ inability to accommodate a significant influx of new students. It’s not what I would’ve liked to have seen for that area but I don’t get to make those decisions.
