Lowe’s Companies revisits site plan
By Luann Laubscher

In 15 to 20 years the Lowe’s Companies campus in Mooresville could contain more than 3-million-square-feet of office space in several seven-story buildings.

Lowe’s received a positive recommendation from the Mooresville Planning Board last Thursday for its amended Conditional Use (CU) site plan for 163.58 acres of the campus. The Conditional Use permit would allow the increase in building square footage from about two million to a little over three million square feet. It would also allow the building height to exceed the maximum limit up to seven stories.

The Mooresville Town Board of Commissioners will consider the Conditional Use request at its Sept. 6 meeting.

Lowe’s should employ about 8,000 people at build-out, which chould be reached in 15 to 20 years, according to Ames Flynn, vice president of administration for the company. Campus construction is being staggered in seven phases. There are currently about 1,350 employees working at the Mooresville headquarters of the home improvement company. There are still about 2,000 Lowe’s employees working at its offices in Wilkes County.

Last month, Lowe’s announced its plans for the third phase of construction on the campus located on Lowe’s Boulevard across from Lake Norman Regional Medical Center

The Lake Norman yacht club is the premier water enjoyment organization for this fantastic area. See a sunset here and you will never leave - Club history - In 1960 when Duke Power announced plans for construction of Cowan’s Ford Dam, eight landlocked sailors led by Stan Livingstone organized and developed the concept for a yacht club which would promote class racing. In 1961 Lake Nonnan Yacht Club was incorporated with 25 charter members from Charlotte, Hickory, Salisbury, Statesville, Asheboro and Greensboro. Obviously the idea was for an “area” club, rather than a “Charlotte” club. Because of the size of the lake and the location, the hope was that the club would develop into “The Inland Yacht Club of the Southeast.”

Lake Norman is the right place to buy a home ?

Look for a Lake Norman expert in Real Estate > huntersvilerealtor.com

Owner financed homes in Lake Norman > NCown.com

The next big question about your first home is deciding where to buy. As the saying goes, what matters is “location, location, location.”

The first step is to identify a neighborhood where you would like to live. People take into account factors such as crime rates, school quality, commuting time, and neighborhood amenities. Also, families with young children want to make sure that there will be other children in the neighborhood. List the criteria that are important to you, and focus on neighborhoods that meet those criteria.

Many people find that they cannot afford the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood. This means that you have to compromise. In the long run, most people find it easier to live with a less-than-ideal house in the right neighborhood than the other way around.

The best time to engage the services of a real estate agent is when you have identified the criteria that matter for you in choosing a neighborhood. Once you can articulate the factors that you consider important, the agent can tell you which neighborhoods meet your criteria and help identify houses that fit within your budget
