The planned Catawba Village apartment complex on N.C. Highway 150 would consist of eight apartment buildings. Photo provided by Catawba County.

Two development projects near N.C. Highway 150 were approved by the county board Monday evening.

A rezoning for an apartment complex along N.C. Highway 150 and a new sewer line nearby, slated for future economic development, were both approved at Monday’s Catawba County Board of Commissioners meeting.

 

The rezoning changes 16 acres from residential and highway commercial districts to a planned development district to allow for a 250-unit apartment complex. The land is along the southern side of N.C. 150 just west of the highway’s intersection with N.C. 16 Business...

    Why are y'all building more apartment complexes around here? The road can't handle this. Stop destroying the beautiful land and just leave it th alone.

    Ok question, I voted for the people who was running for county commissioners and not one thing said you supported expanded and rapid growth in the 16/150 area, I have lived here for a long time and unless you plan on making roads bigger putting a new hospital in upgraded all schools in the entire area we don’t have room. Ok you may say hey this is what Charlotte needs so people can commute to their easily, wrong. First forget what Charlotte needs, basically we are allowing companies to come and build these huge housing projects cheap built homes using terrible home builders, apartments, have your drove or tried to try to Mooseville in the last 2 years. If you have you would know 150 gets backed up starts backing up with traffic around 7:45 at the 150 bridge at pinnacle boat access, Denver same thing, 5:00 is no different. My request is the commissioners need to come spend a two week period with people who actually work in this area and live here. When and if 150 does get expanded I do not see it helping because by that time Sherrills Ford Terrell and Denver will have become so over populated with people this issues will only get worse and be small businesses will be gone due to not being able to keep up on a timely time frame for working for the public in this area. If these issues keep happening and I don’t see a future living here with in Catawba Co an option. We are a small town and have always been.
