Good morning, Mooresville.

Iredell-Statesville Schools Superintendent Jeff James announced that Nic Allen is the new principal at Lake Norman High School and will replace retiring principal Bill Shapcott, with Allen set to start on July 7.

At the June 16 meeting, town officials approved a new contract amendment with Balfour Beatty to start preliminary work on a downtown multi-level parking deck—designed to add 451 parking spaces (rising to 512 with adjacent improvements), a police annex, retail space, and open areas—and raise design costs to nearly $1.6 million. A complete design and final cost estimate will be ready in about nine months as part of the town’s broader downtown improvement plan.
