7 Highlights From Mooresville's Town Board Retreat

MOORESVILLE, NC — Mooresville's town board met last weekend for their annual retreat and was able to cover a lot of ground in terms of the town, planning, infrastructure and more.

To condense some of their results, here is just a portion of the most important things they covered to citizens of Mooresville according to the town report.

1. Roads

The roads for the annual paving/pavement preservation program on Town-owned streets have been chosen, according to consultant prioritization, and bidding for the project will occur later this month. The project is anticipated to start in March and end in June, weather permitting.

2. Sidewalks

This project, which began in 2019, aimed to add curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements to provide pedestrian connection to schools in the Mooresville Graded School System. It included White Oaks Road, Bellingham Drive, Briarcliff Road, Whispering Oaks Court, and Kistler Farm Road, and is now substantially complete, wrapping up shortly after the contractor completes punch list items.

3. Mooresville Police Headquarters

Located on Charlotte Highway near the Mooresville Golf Club, the new headquarters is approximately 65 percent complete and once done, will double the size of the previous facility.

4. Library

Demolition is complete for the project, located at the former Walgreens on Brawley School Road and is scheduled for completion later this year. Patch reported on this in November.

5. Faith Road/115

This project realigns the existing intersection for improved traffic flow along with new left turn lanes on all legs of the intersection and is back on track, with bids to be requested shortly (likely late February or early March, subject to NCDOT approval). It was previously put on pause due to the former contractor but is predicted to restart in late spring.

6. Langtree/115

Intersection improvements for this project will fix the elevation change and skewed intersection to align it in a safer manner. NCDOT is currently reviewing traffic operations and the projected start date is Summer 2024.

7. Mooresville turns 150

This will be a year-long celebration of Mooresville’s sesquicentennial and is already in the planning stages. An internal Town committee has been formed and stakeholders have been meeting with the Town to determine events and programming. This will continue throughout 2022, in time for the celebration in 2023.
