Groups call on NC county to reject rezoning for Duke Energy project

On Monday, the Davidson County Planning Board will decide whether to rezone hundreds of acres along the Yadkin River for a new Duke Energy project. Opponents contend it will harm surrounding communities and the environment. A Duke Energy subsidiary wants to build its Davie-Davidson Energy Complex along the Yadkin River, which requires major infrastructure and rezoning approvals. Davie County officials certified two proposed methane power plants as public utilities, allowing Duke Energy to build on land zoned residential and agricultural. The decision was made without a public hearing or special use permit. Davidson County officials voted in favor of rezoning land for a liquid natural gas storage facility for heavy industrial use. A final vote is scheduled for Monday. Nicole Eastman, Yadkin Riverkeeper, argued the facility isn't a public utility and said such a project should only be built in areas zoned for heavy industrial use. "It really doesn't make sense for two massive power plants that would draw a lot of water from the Yadkin River, and also would be discharging back into the river and contributing to air pollution," Eastman stressed. If approved, it would be the largest liquefied natural gas storage facility in the corporation’s history. The

Faced with defeat, developers nix plans for 450 Lake Norman homes on jammed road

Facing probable no votes by the Mooresville Board of Commissioners Monday night, Georgia and Florida developers permanently pulled their plans for a total of 450 apartments and townhomes along jam-packed N.C. 150 at Lake Norman. Commissioners voted unanimously to accept the developers’ requests to withdraw their rezoning applications for the homes. “This is not a table (of the requests) and not a rescheduling,” commissioner Gary West said. “When it’s withdrawn, it’s done.” “They kind of read the tea leaves that there was a chance of it not going through,” commissioner Eddie Karriker said about each request. “It wasn’t the right thing or the right time.” Developments along congested highway The developments would have sprouted along one of the Charlotte region’s most bottlenecked highways , N.C. 150, which led the Mooresville Planning Board in June to unanimously recommend denial of the requests. Georgia-based Davis Development wanted to build 261 apartments and two commercial outparcels on nearly 30 wooded and vacant acres in the 800 block of River Highway (N.C. 150). The homes would have been in eight three-story buildings on the south side of N.C. 150 across from the Water Oak subdivision, according to the developer’s plans. The development also would
