Here are the top three stories today in Mooresville:

1. Mooresville is growing! To better serve the growing community, the town of Mooresville had seven major new facilities construction projects completed in 2022 or are currently in progress. These projects, funded by a direct investment of over $33 million by the Town Board of Commissioners, will provide residents and visitors with innovative facilities, enhancing quality of life and making Mooresville even more of a destination, according to an article in Iredell Free News.

2. If you're looking to add a fuzzy ball of love and affection to your life, look no further than these shelters in and around Mooresville for a pet up for adoption. Over 6 million pets are surrendered to adoption agencies each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Of those, approximately 3.3 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats. Shelters often look after other animals in search of a permanent home as well, including pigs, birds and even horses.

3. It's that time of year! Time for High School Football scrimmages. Here’s a schedule of upcoming scrimmages this week. (Charlotte Observer)
