AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE MOORESVILLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN I Introduction The initial Mooresville Economic Development Plan was approved in 1993. This Plan was amended in March, 1997 to expand the powers of the Plan and scope of the Plan to make it compatible with changes in the community and the economic changes that had taken place during that same time period. Since 1997 the Town has expanded its corporate limits to areas adjoining the existing Mooresville Economic Development Plan territory with a large portion of this land designated to be an industrial development area. it is nov,, necessary to expand the limits of the current Economic Development Plan to include an area which adjoins SR 67 which is more particularly illustrated in the attached Exhibit "A", a map which shows the original Plan coordinated in green and the expanded district in purple. This area is consistent with the Town's Master Plan for the use of this ground and the original Plan for the Economic Development District. This specific Amendment is reasonable and appropriate when considered in relation to the original Plan, the purpose of the original Plan and the Amendment conforms to the Comprehensive Plan of the Town of Mooresville's Zoning Ordinance. The primary parcel is the Butler ground consisting of approximately 74 acres which is zoned for and well suited for industrial development. However, this area has failed to develop due to a lack of infrastructure including sewer, water, water capacity for fire fighting, internal roads and internal access. Industrial development of this area would help accomplish the Town's goal of reducing property taxes and increasing the tax base for the schools, Township, County and Town. Having this additional ground made available for development would benefit the Town in it's efforts for economic development by making a new tract of land available which offers different site advantages compared to existing ground the industrial that is available.
