Interested in a greenway for Mooresville?
Be sure to join the discussion tonight at 7 p.m. in the Peddler Room of the Charles Mack Citizens Center.
Here's some information that was passed along to me today regarding a potential greenway for the Town of Mooresville. I haven't had time to verify all the information, but if it's all accurate, it's very interesting:
The Town of Mooresville has a 2008 Greenway Comprehensive Master Plan. Almost 100 percent of people surveyed said they'd like a greenway in Mooresville. In the master plan, one mile of greenway is proposed to be built within the next four years. Four more miles could be built from 2013 to 2020.
The four-mile stretch is projected to cost $1 million.
The proposed greenway would begin at Liberty Park and follow Dye Creek. The proposal also recommends a total of 22 miles of greenway that would connect downtown to Brawley School Road, but that is not part of the 2009-2020 projections. Eventually, the Carolina Thread Trail could connect to Mooresville's greenway, which could tie together the greenways of more than 15 counties.

Sounds like a fantastic idea--if it comes to fruition. A dedicated bicycle/jogging path, in Mooresville? Pinch me.
$225,000/mile!!!!!!!!! Oh Gee that sounds reasonable. I wonder if anyone related to our fearless leaders ownes any of that land.
The new plan is to build 2 miles of a greenway which is by their definition is a ten foot wide paved path. The two miles is estimated to cost 2 million. The greenway will start at Liberty Park and end at Bellingham Park. I moved here from Roswell Ga. and we had a greenway like this and it was awesome. There were people using it all the time. This is something that all the citizens of Mooresville could use not like baseball fields or soccer fields which mostly kids use. As soon as I hear about another meeting I will notify the Gatton report. We need a lot of support to get this done. At the last meeting there were mostly property owners there that were against it.
