Good morning, Mooresville.

The Rotary Club of Top of the Lake-Mooresville dedicated two Peace Poles at Lowe’s YMCA and Liberty Park, installing one near the flags and a second by the playground and covered shelter.

Mayor Chris Carney and Town Manager Tracey Jerome attended the ceremonies, and the 8-foot poles display messages in English, Spanish, German, and Japanese to honor community ties.

Mooresville police searched a local man's home—seizing electronics during the investigation—as he faces 14 counts of sexual exploitation.

A new $52 million elementary school will be built in Iredell County and is designed to serve about 720 students — set to offer a fresh learning environment for local families.

Following Monday's board meeting, Superintendent Jeff James announced new leadership roles for the 2025-2026 school year in Iredell-Statesville Schools.

Marissa Holbrook will serve as principal at Cool Spring Elementary — Tammy Sharpe will head Harmony Elementary, and several schools have gained new assistant principals.

County commissioners voted unanimously after a three-hour hearing on Tuesday evening to deny a rezoning request for 20—30 acres for a proposed solar farm along Wilkesboro Highway and Highway 115.

Local residents raised concerns about potential environmental impacts such as risks to a nearby creek—officials noted that government subsidies formed a key part of the proposal.

NCDOT contract crews began work on the $249 million NC 150 widening project starting July 14 by closing right lanes on I-77 to build a new bridge at the interchange with NC 150.

Drivers will face nightly lane closures from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. as traffic shifts to inside lanes — future phases will add eastbound and westbound lanes and start right-of-way acquisition in fall.

The Iredell County Health Department said it will continue to inspect public swimming pools at hotels, apartment complexes and schools to ensure water quality and safety.

The strict process remains in place even after a state law change on July 1 that exempts some privately owned residential pools used for short-term rentals from permit requirements.
