An official publication
On behalf of the Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce and our more than 1,150 active business members, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the Lake Norman region. Nestled on the banks of 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 small-town 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 fastestgrowing 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 buyers guide (beginning on page 90) 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 this magazine 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,

Other public options For other public options, families can consider charter schools, for which tax dollars provide much of the funding. These schools are required to have no discrimination, no religious associations and no tuition. If charter schools have more applicants than available slots, they must use open lotteries to fill remaining spots. n Community School of Davidson is a public charter school. In 2009-2010, the school served students in grades K through 8, with plans to add ninth grade in 2010-2011 and expand one grade level each year. â—? www.csdnc.org â—? 704.896.6262

Different is Beautiful
A multitude of faiths make up the Lake Norman community Written By Jody Seymour 2010-11
A Product of Lake Norman CURRENTS Magazine
Years ago Avery and Marsh wrote a song to be used in church to celebrate variety. The song begins with the words, “Different is beautiful, God bless variety, just look around and see, different is beautiful.� In the Lake Norman area this expression could be representative of the varieties of religious experiences that can be found. The many expressions of the spiritual quest can be discovered in our region from the quiet reflection of the Quaker meeting to the joyous swaying of the choir at Great Lake Living at Lake Norman

faith Gethsemane Baptist Church. One of my roles as senior pastor of Davidson United Methodist Church is to convene the Davidson Ministerial Alliance. Around the table we have represented Christian and Jewish perspectives. At the community
Thanksgiving service sponsored by this alliance, a rabbi opened his sermon using words from the Gospel of John. After his sermon a member of another congregation gave a blessing in Hebrew and a member of another church gave a blessing from
the Christian tradition. In a divided world where God’s name is sometimes used to build walls rather than construct bridges, and religion is manipulated into being the reason for killing others who do not conform to a certain way, it was

refreshing to worship in the midst of variety. Different “is” beautiful, at least when it comes to the many different expressions of faith. I have often said that spirituality is the water, and religion is the plumbing. We are not to worship the “pipes” nor are we to be plumbers. The true task of religion is to help thirsty people discover the source of water and to be thankful for the sustaining power that this water provides. The many different expressions of faith that can be found in the Lake Norman area are a reflection of the variety of needs that we humans have. Studies show that the form and shape of worship reflects the desires and wants of people as much as it reflects the God we worship. God is a very big God. Religion and the practice of religion can make God too small. A healthy respect for and appreciation of another’s religious expression can be a positive foundational element for the building of a vital community.
The search for God is a manifestation of our need to discover our ultimate concern. I am always amazed at the many different forms that this search takes. In our global village it is even more important that we lift up the core value that “different is beautiful” rather than bad. When I talk to young couples who are about to be married I encourage them to make sure that they discover a faith community. Many of these couples, if they are honest with me, have gotten into the habit of sleeping in on Sunday mornings. I tell them to “shop” around until they find a church that meets their needs and then offer themselves to that community so they can be reminded that life is not about taking and having but is instead about giving and sharing. I then tell them not to stop the search for a faith community if they go to a church and it is not “to their liking.” I say to them, “If you need a sofa you don’t give up if you can’t
find the right sofa at the first few places, so keep on looking if you don’t find the ‘right’ church at first. Your faith journey is more important than a sofa.” Some people don’t go to church because they feel like they will not fit in or that they will not be accepted if they do not believe exactly what they think the people who are worshiping there believe. Here again, different is beautiful. Our church is starting a satellite faith community for people who are uncomfortable with church but who want to find out more about the spiritual journey. So you might say it’s a church for people who think they don’t like church. William James once wrote a book titled Varieties of Religious Experience. His title could be one of the lenses through which the Lake Norman area can be viewed. I hope you will seek out a community where you can journey with people who are seeking God and who want to discover how to make our world and our community a better place. According to the Hebrew Scriptures, life started in a garden. That garden was not a product of those first inhabitants but was given to them “on loan.” We all still live in that shared garden, and we need to learn to get along better, remembering that there is a Creator who is the “One” who created us all. Religion at its best can help us do that. ● Jody Seymour is the senior pastor at Davidson United Methodist Church. He is the author of four books, Looking for God in All the Wrong Places, Finding God Between the Lines and A Time for Healing: Overcoming the Perils of Ministry. His newest book is titled Lost, but Making Excellent Time: Transforming the Rat Race Into a Pilgrimage.

More Than Medicine
Area hospitals work to provide quality care, modern technology to patients
Lake Norman boasts beautiful shorelines, abundant recreational opportunities, plenty of shopping and superb dining choices. But for many newcomers looking to find a permanent home in the area, proximity to medical care also ranks high on the checklist. Fortunately, there’s no shortage of quality and cutting-edge health care in Lake Norman. With everything from birthing facilities to cancer care centers, in modern architecture or in hospitals owned by

county residents, these medical centers provide plenty of services that don’t require a drive to Charlotte. Here’s an overview of the four major hospital systems and what makes each of them shine.

Great Lake Living at Lake Norman
Iredell Memorial Hospital first opened its doors in 1954 and is unique because it is the only not-for-profit hospital in the area. The citizens of Iredell County own the buildings and grounds of the facility and all revenue is reinvested into medical technology and staff. The main campus, which currently holds 247 beds, is located in Statesville, and there are several offices in the nearby towns of Mooresville and Mocksville, and in northern Iredell County. Iredell Memorial Hospital has earned the Gold Seal of Approval from The Joint Commission for Primary Stroke Centers, making the hospital the first and only stroke-certified hospital in the county. In addition, the hospital’s
diabetes program is certified by the American Diabetes Association.
n Lake Norman Regional Medical Center 171 Fairview Road, Mooresville www.lnrmc.com The hospital that eventually became known as Lake Norman Regional Medical Center began providing care to local residents as far back as 1926 under the name of Lowrance Hospital. Also in Iredell County, LNRMC is a comprehensive medical center with a medical campus located in Mooresville that includes 117 beds, an orthopedic specialty center, an outpatient surgery center, a comprehensive women’s center and a surgical center for weight loss.

LNRMC is also recognized for its Cardiopulmonary Department by the Quality Respiratory Care Recognition and holds a Gold Seal of Approval from The Joint Commission for health care quality.

10030 Gilead Road Huntersville www.presbyterian.org
In October 2004, Huntersville welcomed Presbyterian Hospital Huntersville, a 50bed facility providing services in surgery, cardiovascular and cancer care, and maternity. In the works are an Ambulatory
Surgical Center, which will house two large operating rooms for a wide array of minor outpatient procedures such as tonsil removal and plastic surgery. The hospital also offers the use of the state-of-the art da Vinci Robotic Surgery, a surgical tool that provides robotassisted technology for procedures such as hysterectomies and procedures that help treat prostate cancer. In addition, an Endovascular Suite is scheduled to open in the coming months and will encompass the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral vascular disease, which is a condition that causes the arteries to become obstructed. n Carolinas Medical Center-Lincolnton 200 Gamble Drive, Lincolnton www.cmc-lincoln.org Serving the West Shore area of Lake
Norman is Carolinas Medical Center-Lincolnton. In 2008, Carolinas HealthCare began construction on a modern building to be located on 55 acres on Highway 150 North in Lincolnton that will house 101 beds and offer maternity services, intensive care, operating and endoscopy rooms. The new hospital will replace the current medical center located three miles away on McAllister Road. In addition to the hospital, the new location will also accommodate a large medical office park with several primary and specialty care physicians. Construction began in November 2008 and is scheduled for completion in July of this year. ● Renee Roberson is a freelance writer in the Lake Norman area.

Small and large businesses find Lake Norman to be a good fit Written By Sam Boykin 2010-11
A Product of Lake Norman CURRENTS Magazine
Business is booming at Lake Norman. With its proximity to an international airport, easy access to major interstates and a one-of-a-kind waterfront setting, it’s easy to see why. Helping Lake Norman’s thriving business community grow even stronger are organizations like the Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce. With more than 1,150 members, it offers programs, information and outreach opportunities to positively impact economic development. In 2009, BusinessWeek magazine ranked Cornelius number seven in the magazine’s list of “Best Affordable Suburbs in the U.S. 2009.” In addition to that, Money magazine named Huntersville one of the “Top 100 Best Places to Live” in 2005 and did the same for Mooresville in 2007. Those accolades have proven to be strong tools in luring businesses both large and small to this area. The Lake Norman area’s skilled workforce, efficient infrastructure and friendly business climate convinced Newell Rubbermaid to expand its campus in Huntersville, investing millions of dollars and creating hundreds of jobs. Newell Rubbermaid, a leading manufacturer and marketer of household products, is headquartered in Atlanta and employs approximately 26,500 people in the U.S. and Europe. Its $5 million, 50,000-square-foot facility at Huntersville’s Northcross Center Great Lake Living at Lake Norman

doing business focuses on several business units, such as power tool accessories, hand tools and foodservice products. Lowe’s Companies, Inc., the world’s second-largest home improvement retailer, moved its corporate headquarters to Mooresville in 2003 and has been a huge economic boon to Lake Norman. The 165-acre campus is currently home to more than 2,000 employees. Eventually, Lowe’s headquarters will employ between 8,000 and 10,000 workers. Since the home improvement giant has moved to Mooresville, it’s spurred other growth, including new retail and residential developments, hotels, and dozens of home improvement vendors and suppliers. Lowe’s currently operates more than 1,700 stores in the United States and Canada. And it continues to expand, opening a new store on average every week. Davidson is home to Ingersoll Rand, a $13 billion global, diversified industrial

company. Officials at the high-tech company indicate that it’s easy to attract top-notch talent to the company thanks to Lake Norman’s many recreational opportunities, cultural amenities and affordable living costs. The company is situated on an expansive complex on Lake Davidson. Ingersoll Rand operates 28 additional plants in the United States, 31 plants in Europe, 14 plants in Asia, six plants in Latin America and one plant in Canada. The company manufactures non-electrical industrial machinery and equipment including air compressors, architectural hardware products, construction equipment, as well as services and solutions to transport and protect food and perishables. Huntersville has the distinction of being home to the largest single-site greenhouse in the United States. Metrolina Greenhouses is spread out over 150 acres, or approximately 5.8 million square feet. That’s a lot of plants and flowers. In fact,
the greenhouse uses a fleet of tractortrailers and smaller trucks to ship about 75 million plants a year — mums, marigolds, pansies, petunias, dahlias, begonias, roses and more — all across the region to major retailers including Lowe’s and Wal-Mart. The company employs nearly 700 full-time workers and 200 part-time seasonal employees. Workers use high-tech, automated equipment to spray the plants, replant seedlings and transport large pallets of plants. Mooresville, known as Race City USA, is home to many of the nation’s top autoracing programs. Making their home in Mooresville are Braun Racing, Cagnazzi Racing, Dale Earnhardt Inc., Foley Racing, Kasey Kahne Racing, JR Motorsports, MTJ Sports, Penske Racing, Red Bull Racing and Rusty Wallace Inc. ● Sam Boykin is an award-winning freelance writer in Mooresville.

where to shop
Written By Lori K. Tate
Talk to any old-school lake resident and they’ll tell you about the days when the Lake Norman area only had one grocery store. If they wanted an item of clothing, aside from a life jacket, a trip to Charlotte was in order. Never could anyone imagine that one day, you’d be able to buy designer jeans by True Religion and dresses by Diane von Furstenberg without heading to The Queen City. But as the population of the Lake Norman area has grown, so has its shopping choices. It doesn’t matter if you’re a fashionista or a home design diva, there’s a shop to fit your style here. Let’s begin at Exit 18, where you’ll find Northlake Mall, filled with every chain

you could want, from Macy’s to Anthropologie to Ann Taylor to Belk. Surrounding the mall is a selection of big boxes, including one of Mecklenburg County’s two REIs. If you can’t find what you need at this exit, you might want to rethink what you need. Exit 25 brings you to Huntersville, where you’ll find Lowe’s, Target and Kohl’s, along with Birkdale Village, a mixeduse shopping center that serves as the unofficial town square. With a nice mix of fun shops and chains (think Banana Republic, Gap and Talbots), Birkdale offers a pleasant shopping experience even for those who don’t enjoy shopping. Stop by on Friday or Saturday evenings during the summer for the Mingling on the Green Concert Series, where you can enjoy a
Downtown Mooresville (Exits 33 and 36) also offers an old-fashioned shopping experience with a true hardware store and other cozy galleries and shops. There’s even a bakery, where you can take care of your sweet tooth fix after a day of retail therapy. West of I-77 in Mooresville, you’ll find any big box store you need, including Best Buy, Michael’s, Super Target and Staples. Throughout the Lake Norman area there are plenty of mom and pop shops eager to please with personalized customer service and an inventory of specialized items. During the past year various campaigns have encouraged residents to shop local whenever possible. So the next time you find yourself looking for that perfect gift or pick-me-up, remember to shop local. ●

Its downtown district, which is certain to grow once Antiquity, a smart-growth community adjoining downtown Cornelius and Davidson Elementary School comes to realization in the near future, only adds to the town’s charm. Also in the mix are home interior shops that offer one-of-akind accessories to make your nest even cozier. Davidson, Exit 30, offers a Norman Rockwell take on downtown shopping, complete with a bookstore and a Ben & Jerry’s. Be sure to stop by ’Cats on Main for all of your Davidson College gear. After all, it’s always a great day to be a Wildcat.

Most are ultra casual with a laid-back atmosphere where live music fills the air. There’s no better way to end the day than by grabbing a seat at a table on the deck and enjoying a fantastic sunset with a cold beverage and a sandwich or burger. Dining out around Lake Norman can be a memorable experience, and delicious food awaits you wherever you choose to go. ● Casual fare is abundant in the Lake Norman area.

The Lake Norman area is a quick drive to some of the Carolinas’ best vacation spots Written By Trent Pitts 2010-11
A Product of Lake Norman CURRENTS Magazine
The Lake Norman area could not be better situated on the map. Interstate 77 runs through three of the area’s towns, and Interstate 85 is only a few miles away. Interstate 40 is approximately 25 miles to the north. As a result, traveling to regional vacation destinations is no problem, with the mountains of North Carolina and the South Carolina coast among the most popular and easiest to access. Out of all the effortless travel possibilities within reach of the area, three stand out as favorites. Great Lake Living at Lake Norman

Charleston Driving time: Approximately three-and-a-half hours. Charleston, South Carolina, a beautiful, historic port city, features a
stunning array of Italianate, Colonial and Victorian architectural examples, with many dating back to the 1700s. Browsing downtown at “The Market” with the sea grass baskets woven by locals is a tradition. Nearby antiques shops, cobblestone streets, courtyards and statuary add to the charm of this town that is a wellpreserved time capsule. Nearby, Folly Beach, The Isle of Palms, Kiawah Island and several barrier islands offer beachcombers plenty of variety. Charleston is often thought of as the cultural capital of the South, and its performing arts scene has certainly contributed to its reputation. A symphony orchestra, several local ballet companies and community theater groups all perform regularly. In the spring, Charleston hosts Spoleto Festival USA, a twoand-a-half-week arts festival featuring
world-renowned talent. Best of all is the food — Charleston’s “Lowcountry” cuisine, centered on seafood, is a dining experience like no other. ●

Great Lake Living at Lake Norman
Living in Denver puts the wind in my sails. My husband, Mike, and I joined the Lake Norman Sailing Club in 1998 and two years later moved to the Westport community — a haven that boasts about four miles of winding shoreline. Westport is the oldest waterfront community on the lake, and the display of mature foliage and flowering trees is beautiful. These days, Mike and I mostly use our pontoon boat on weekday afternoons with our dogs, Norman and Ollie. We like to do some slow cove cruising, followed A Product of Lake Norman CURRENTS Magazine

When we have a chance, we still enjoy sailboat racing in the Wednesday night regatta. We’ll be a bit busier this summer after the birth of our first child, but we’re really looking forward to lots more family days on the lake. As real estate agents, Mike and I have helped bring many new residents to our favorite town on the lake because the people in Denver are so kind and welcoming. I’m also a part owner of Déjà Divas here because women need to be able to pull together a new outfit without driving an hour to the other side of the lake. The west shore has so much to offer — from community festivals and parades to an annual art tour and a Christmas event. Denver is a hotbed

Huntersville has something for everyone Written by Trent Pitts 2010-11
A Product of Lake Norman CURRENTS Magazine
Moving to Huntersville is one of the better decisions that my family and I ever made. We’ve lived other places around the state, and don’t get me wrong — North Carolina in general is a great place to be. Yet, Huntersville is definitely something special. If you want the sights and sounds of a big city, Charlotte is just down the road. We travel there often to take advantage of the museums and sporting events. But the realization that we can escape the crowds and head back to our idyllic little town is a good feeling. And what we have right here in Huntersville, no large metropolis can offer — the slow pace of life, the friendly residents, the rolling pastoral countryside, and the natural magnificence of our lake. When it’s time to shop, most any market or boutique desired is typically just a few blocks away. When it’s time to play, Huntersville Great Lake Living at Lake Norman

My wife and I have called Mooresville home since 2007. Newly married and aghast at the home prices in Charlotte, we decided to check out the Lake Norman area, and were both pretty much sold as soon as we turned down the shady, tree-lined street where we now live. Our home — a two-story bungalow built in 1901— is just a short walk from Mooresville’s historic downtown, and that’s one the neighborhood’s great perks. My wife takes art classes on the weekends at the Mooresville Art Guild, located in an old railway depot, and I love to go rambling through the old D.E. Turner Hardware Store, which opened in 1899.

Another reason my wife and I decided to move to Mooresville is because we liked its friendly, small-town feel and felt like it would be a great place to start a family. Turns out we were right.

TOURISM is economic development Why We Matter... North Carolina visitors spent an estimated $22 Billion last year. Those additional dollars helped many of our local businesses stay afloat, with visitors spending huge amounts on retail, restaurants, lodging, gas, and recreation. Okay - great! But...I don’t own one of those businesses so why should visitor spending matter to ME? The most personal benefit of visitors is the impact on our taxes. A surplus of $1.4 Billion in state and local taxes per year is generated by the direct visitor spending in NC.* These additional funds save every NC household hundreds in tax dollars, put our kids in school, build and expand our roads, and provide precious services like police, fire, and rescue. Visit Lake Norman remains committed to bringing tourism generated dollars into our towns. For more information on how tourism and Visit Lake Norman translate into a better life for you, go to visitlakenorman.org.

about why tourism matters Domestic visitors to and within NC spent $16.9 Billion in 2008* Mecklenburg County is ranked #1 in visitor spending for NC* Tourism directly employs over 190,500 North Carolinians and supports 378,000+ jobs*

There’s also a smaller lake, where visitors can go fishing and boating. Perhaps the biggest draw is the extensive hiking and biking trails, most of which are designed for both mountain biking and hiking. There’s more than 20 miles of rolling trails that wind through mature hardwood forests, along the lakeshore and between creeks. Another popular destination for folks who love to spend time outdoors is Jetton Park in Cornelius.

Already a respected albeit relatively unassuming team, that all changed in 2008 when the Wildcats made a historic run during the NCAA Men’s Division 1 Basketball Tournament. The Wildcats may have lost their bid to reach the Final Four, but the team gained national respect and recognition as it played in the Elite Eight and expectations remain high. While the team’s star player, Stephen Curry, has gone on to the pros, crazed fans still fill up John M. Belk Arena to cheer on their team or crowd into Davidson’s Alvarez College Union or the nearby Brickhouse Tavern to watch televised games.

When you think of golf in North Carolina, chances are good you envision either the ocean courses that dot the coast, the hilly mountain courses in the highlands or the tree-lined courses that fill the Sandhills around Pinehurst. If you are looking for an area that combines the best of all three, then look no farther than Lake Norman. Golfers who call Lake Norman home know full well that the area has developed a reputation for bringing the best of the three regions together. Golfing is a way of life in North Carolina, and it is a passion for Lake Norman residents and guests. A dozen Great Lake Living at Lake Norman

A golf explosion David Ross, director of golf at River Run Country Club in Davidson, came to the area in 1990 and has watched golf explode over the last two decades. He says the golf industry has kept pace with residential development as more and more people relocate to the lake from out of state or move up from Charlotte. Courses such as Cowan’s Ford Golf Club in Stanley and Westport Golf Club in Denver have tweaked their layouts and upgraded their facilities to attract new members, while others, such as Pine Island Country Club in Charlotte, have undertaken multi million dollar renovation projects to create an entirely new look and feel. Several private courses afford golfers the luxury of living and playing in the same neighborhood. The Peninsula Club in Cornelius, The Point Lake and Golf Club in
