Greetings
On behalf of the Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce and our more than 800+ active business members, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the Lake Norman region. This past year presented a tremendous challenge to our nation and region as we dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic. Our business community responded to those challenges with determination, resilience, and innovation and we have emerged stronger as a community. Those dark days behind us, the sun is again shining brightly as we embrace our new opportunities.
Nestled on the banks of the beautiful Lake Norman, our lake towns offer the perfect opportunity for both visitors and newcomers to enjoy the lake living lifestyle of Cornelius and Mooresville, the smalltown college charm of Davidson, and the vitality of Huntersville with its abundant shopping and recreational facilities.
Lake Norman, located just outside of Charlotte, provides visitors and newcomers with a window to the past and an eye to the future. The lake is home to the land where the Catawba Indians once walked, and the early European settlers made their stand. Today, it is home to vibrant business parks and retail centers. New neighborhoods have emerged, and families have relocated to the region, making Lake Norman one of the fastest growing regions in the country.
Our proximity to the cultural opportunities of Charlotte, mixed with the charm and lake living lifestyle of our small towns make Lake Norman a great place to work, live and visit. We encourage you to use this important resource with our buyer’s guide (beginning on page 54) to Shop the Lake and enjoy our diverse array of retailers, shopping centers and restaurants.Treat yourself to the Charlotte region’s premier parks or take in one of our historical sites.
We hope Great Lake Living gives you a glimpse into why so many new families are making Lake Norman their home. Visitors and residents can browse VisitLakeNorman. org for more information on dining and entertainment, and newcomers and prospective businesses can find out more about the region at LakeNormanChamber. org. Again, on behalf of our business community and our lake towns we welcome you to Lake Norman.
Sincerely, W.E. “Bill” Russell, CCE President Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce
Lake living is a state of mind.
