A popular Lake Norman Chick-fil-A closed temporarily on Saturday, Nov. 26, to undergo weeks of “much-needed” renovations, store officials said.

The restaurant at Interstate 77 Mooresville exit 36 is getting new double drive-thru lanes and “renovations to our store, both inside and out,” management said on Facebook.

Expect “a fresh new look on the inside,” according to the Facebook post.

The store will be under construction and closed “for the next several weeks,” management said.

The restaurant’s address is 457 River Highway (N.C. 150).

Store officials suggested patrons visit the Chick-fil-A that’s 1.7 miles away at 420 Talbert Road.

Renovated Mooresville skate park opens Dec. 3

The town of Mooresville will open its renovated skate park at 748 W. Iredell Ave. with a free public celebration noon-4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3.

The park is the largest in the mid-Atlantic, town officials said in a news release.

The original park was built in 2008 for $436,000, officials said.

In February, the Mooresville Board of Commissioners unanimously approved spending $2.8 million to redesign, construct, renovate and improve the park.

The park now features new skateboarding bowls and ramps, new bathrooms, water fountains, lights and a shaded viewing area.

Starting Dec. 3, the park will be open sunrise to 10 p.m. daily.

Public hearing scheduled for subdivision proposed in Denver

Villages of Denver LLC submitted a request to rezone a 126-acre tract to permit the construction of The Meadows at Denver, a subdivision with up to 267 single-family homes. The property is located north of Kenyon Drive’s end and south of Hagers Hollow Drive.

In the original proposal for Villages of Denver approved in 2001, Lincoln County commissioners signed off on plans for 685 lots, according to county documents. As of December 2021, 523 lots had been recorded, meaning the developer could still add 162 more to the subdivision if the new rezoning request is denied.

If approved, a traffic signal and northbound left turn lane would be installed at the intersection of Hagers Hollow Drive and N.C. 16 Business to mitigate traffic, according to county documents.

A public hearing for the request will be held at the Lincoln County Administration Building, 353 N. Generals Blvd., on Monday, Dec. 5 at 6:30 p.m.
