2. It was a unanimous vote by the Board of Commissioners to approve the rezoning measure that will allow the 34-acre plot of land at Perth Road and N.C. 150 to be developed into a new residential and business district. According to a Mooresville Tribune article, "the plan has been in the works for more than a decade. The property owners, the Brotherton family, who have owned a large portion of the property for more than 90 years, have been working on how to best develop the land. The plan for Alton Village that was decided on, calls for 298 multifamily units, 47 townhomes, and space for retail businesses and restaurants all to be contained within the property."
