1. Heads up motorists, starting the week of June 12, construction crews will begin the Brawley School Road Forcemain Repair work. This is expected to be a six-week project, if the weather cooperates. Work lane closure both day and night. According to the Town of Mooresville Facebook page here is what residents and travelers need to know, "The construction area: Brawley School Road between Williamson Road and I-77. Lane closures: Morrison Plantation Parkway at Brawley School Road & Talbert Road at Brawley School Road. The first half of construction will consist of night work to install new pipe in the median. That means crews will close lanes between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., Sunday-Thursday. -There will be no closures on July 3 and 4 for the holiday. Work will continue July 5. Daytime lane closures are anticipated to begin around July 10." (Town of Mooresville NC via Facebook)
2. In an effort to make a positive difference in the lives of people he hasn't even met, Michal Bay, the owner of Merino Mill in downtown Mooresville, has teamed up with a Belmont nonprofit to donate thousands of solar panels that are being removed from the Mill to make way for new air conditioning units. The panels will go to homes and businesses in need in Haiti. According to The World Bank, less than fifty percent of Haiti's population has access to electricity. (WCNC.com)
3. Mooresville's own Kyle Strickler is at Eldora Speedway for the three-day event at the legendary Tony Stewart-owned track. According to FloRacing, "Strickler will try to treat the weekend like any other, at least as much as a driver can with a six-figure payday on the line while climbing in a brand new race car." Good luck Kyle! (FloRacing)
