Good morning, Mooresville.

Mooresville resident Steve Odell bought 10 acres in Salisbury in 2019, planted tea trees at his house, and began East Bay Tea Company in 2023.

He plans a 10-year agritourism venture and a sustainable legacy using repurposed materials and volunteer help — a move that brings local farming and tea culture together.

County officials warned Mooresville residents about a scam email circulating today that asks for wire transfers as part of rezoning requests—official emails end in @iredellcountync.gov and fees are paid only in person.

Mooresville’s Art Academy of Southlake opened in March to offer beginner art training based on a three-part model of knowledge, guided practice, and personal commitment; the academy holds weekly classes including youth drawing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (5:15 to 6:15 p.m.) and painting sessions for preteens, teens and adults (Saturdays 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and additional evenings).

The Mooresville Graded School District Board approved fee changes for the 2025-2026 school year Tuesday that raised out-of-district tuition to $2,333.06, increased the marching band fee to $250, set the laptop fee at $20, and lowered wrap-around care fees for EC Pre-K from $375 to $180. They also approved a three-year i-Ready contract for grades K-9, renewed school nutrition bids, maintained current facility fees, updated local AIG and CTE plans, and honored Cindy Tyler with an Above and Beyond Award — steps that will guide the district’s future operations.
