🌱High Price Real Estate In Mooresville + Beware It's Tick Time

Hey, neighbors! It's me again, Karena Garrity, your host of the Mooresville Daily.

First, today's weather:

A thunderstorm in spots. High: 78 Low: 61.

Here are the top three stories today in Mooresville:

1. The Mooresville Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on May 16, to consider annexation and utility extension requests from LIV Development who is seeking to annex a large site on Lake Norman into the town of Mooresville for a significant residential project. The 96.8-acre site, off Transco Road, is currently vacant. (WSOC Charlotte)
2. The most expensive listing in Mooresville hit the market this week with a price tag of $5.15 million. The lakefront home is nearly 6,300-square-feet. Located at 153 Sleepy Cove Trail, the home is in the Bay Crossing subdivision, on the northern portion of Lake Norman — about 33 miles north of Charlotte. (WSOC Charlotte)
3. The weather is warming up, which means more outdoor activities are being enjoyed, however, with warmer weather comes the risk of tick bites. According to US News, a new tick-borne virus, the Heartland Bandavirus, is spreading across the country. The symptoms of this virus are very similar to those of COVID-19 with high fever, diarrhea and muscle pains. The tick population is currently reportedly booming so protect yourself with insect repellent and proper clothing. (69News WFMZ-TV)
