D.R. Horton has outlined a comprehensive plan for a new residential community in Mooresville, aiming to address community concerns and improve local infrastructure. During the Planning Board meeting on August 26, 2025, representatives from D.R. Horton emphasized their commitment to being good neighbors to residents in the surrounding areas, including Fern Hill, Orchard Farms, and Atwater.
The proposed timeline for the project includes a tentative council meeting scheduled for October 20, where a rezoning request will be discussed. If approved, the company plans to begin site design and permitting, with construction expected to start in 2026. The first homes are projected to be completed by April 2028, with a full build-out of the community anticipated by 2032.
D.R. Horton acknowledged current capacity issues at local schools, particularly the high school, which is nearing its limit. However, they noted that new educational facilities, including a high school and an elementary school set to open in the 2027-2028 school year, will help alleviate these concerns.
Additionally, the company is working on traffic mitigation strategies, with a traffic impact analysis expected to receive approval soon. D.R. Horton is committed to implementing necessary improvements as part of the rezoning process, which aims to enhance the overall infrastructure and accessibility of the area.
As the project progresses, community members can expect updates on construction timelines and infrastructure developments, which are designed to support the growing population in Mooresville.
