The Purpose of the 2012 ED & RD Plan Amendments `Ibis"2012 Amendment"will reflect amendments to both the ED/RD Plan and the RD Plan in order to minimize the number of policy documents in circulation,and to improve transparency for public access. Time to Review Progress The Mooresville Redevelopment Commission originally prepared Redevelopment Plan(and declared a Redevelopment Area in 1990. 'the Redevelopment Plan&RD Arca were then amended in the Autumn of 1990,in 1993, in 2004 and again in 2008. The Economic Development Nan and ED Area were first developed in 1993,and amended in 1997,2004 and 2008. Each of these iterations in the ED&R )Plans/Areas was driven by the advent of economic development projects and opportunities,as well as community-driven needs for infrastructure investment. The documents,and the policies and projects which were contained therein,have evolved to serve the community very well,and the evolution of Economic Development and Redevelopment Strategies by the Mooresville Redevelopment Commission (MRC) continues.
