The Mooresville Board of Commissioners meeting on June 16, 2025, highlighted significant developments in the town's infrastructure projects, particularly regarding the upcoming construction on Center Avenue. A key focus was the decision to bury power lines, with Duke Energy contracted to design the underground utility work. This initiative aims to enhance the aesthetic appeal and safety of the area, with a projected timeline of approximately nine months for completion.

Commissioners discussed the design phase, emphasizing that while the project will include essential infrastructure, it will not accommodate future expansions such as additional building levels. This decision was based on cost-effectiveness and potential disruptions during construction. The board noted that the feasibility of adding future floors would significantly increase costs and complicate the construction process.

Another important topic was the retail space planned for the development. The project will provide a shell for future tenants, allowing flexibility in the design and size of the retail areas. This approach aims to attract businesses and enhance the downtown experience for residents and visitors alike.

The meeting also touched on the potential for collaboration with interested developers, encouraging them to engage early in the process to take advantage of lower construction costs. The commissioners expressed enthusiasm about the project's ability to revitalize the downtown area, particularly with the new plaza that will connect Liberty Park to the development.

As the project moves forward, the Board of Commissioners remains committed to ensuring that the infrastructure improvements align with the community's needs and aspirations, fostering a vibrant and accessible downtown for all residents.
