County staff said the items on the consent agenda were reviewed at the board’s pre-agenda meeting and included multiple proclamations, budget amendments, personnel classification updates and program approvals. Commissioner Brown moved to approve the pre-agenda consent items; the motion was adopted by voice vote.

Key items approved by consent included: a budget amendment (No. 35) directing $661.25 from the general fund to repay the emergency telephone system fund for ineligible expenses identified in the final PSAP report for fiscal year 2024; a second budget amendment (No. 36) to appropriate $19,137 for Iredell County’s cost share of algae treatment in Lake Norman; the Iredell County Public Library strategic plan for fiscal years 2026–2030; proclamations establishing Public Safety Telecommunicators Week and National 9-1-1 Education Month; a one-year lease with two renewal options for the 901 West Memorial Highway solid waste convenience center site (5% increase per renewal); and the addition of two classification titles to the county schedule (Tax Real Property Appraiser Level 3 and Advanced EMT, full-time EMS).

The board also approved a request from staff to proclaim April 2025 as Child Abuse Prevention Month in Iredell County.

Separately, the board voted to restart the paused outdoor farmers market project at the fairgrounds and move it back into the design phase. Commissioner Hough made the motion to resume design and it carried on a voice vote.

Commissioners used the meeting’s general-comment and commissioner-update segments to praise the newly opened Weathers Creek / Sertoma Club baseball and recreation complex, noting heavy weekend use and some parking congestion. County staff reported there are roughly 500 parking spaces available at the park but said some users were parking closer to amenities and not utilizing overflow lots. Commissioners also discussed emergency communications (ECOM): a meeting was scheduled for Friday at 11:30 a.m. to review an equipment list submitted by stakeholders and staff said no equipment has yet been ordered while staff continue to explore grant funding.

The board confirmed it met in closed session earlier in the day under North Carolina General Statute 143-318.11(a)(5) to discuss property acquisition.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REGULAR MEETING - Apr 01 2025","oneSentenceSummary","By unanimous consent the board approved administrative items including budget amendments, proclamations and a one-year solid waste lease; it also voted to restart design work on an outdoor farmers market at the fairgrounds and held a closed session on property acquisition.","taxTitle","Iredell County, North Carolina","taxId",13718,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6092606,"Iredell County approves performance-based incentive for Project Ascend (Kozlowski Advanced Manufacturing)",259,553000,812000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2852662-d92d4b10f4742f8adec6a9da0be6bb0b&start=553&end=812","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2852662-d92d4b10f4742f8adec6a9da0be6bb0b/thumbnail_553000.jpg","/articles/6092606/Iredell-County/North-Carolina/Iredell-County-approves-performance-based-incentive-for-Project-Ascend-Kozlowski-Advanced-Manufacturing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6092606-57494357c3111a07d7b75aa06aed7c63/orig.mp4?Expires=1773078950&Signature=HrHmWOy1TcdeOfO21pe8EPDYvj2iffoUJ0JHYXOdaZFBnwrizifaqfTIx9zIMy5d6V4W7tzVdjigYGlH~XekK81YDoH~30VuGfxQBNokomRLvXFekAmQw24YSenlbq2gPsfXAzIdtPjSz-Q69K9FikRLnux7x9-T9J9wevm3z8tA5QcxSqWGffHNpB-4GUCzC0FyoKKFRTYcHtsy-3JtQOVeosW~Z3GNMYLRabUP1a5Ovcq0Vy5EKEF4o0u5GKuu2q6x9sR-ognQwLTsBJMW9KV9-zBsFdaCFMr3L4vrmJ-d~U0KqYdpFIdv-ZNDVc8YU9sIRqUwQKoYQQG3Be5nIg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Iredell County Board of Commissioners approved a performance-based economic development incentive for Project Ascend, an expansion at Kozlowski Advanced Manufacturing LLC (CAM).

During a public hearing, Iredell County Economic Development Corporation staff presented the request. The company plans about $23 million in new tangible personal property investment by Dec. 31, 2027, including additional 3D printing and CNC machining capacity. The project is expected to retain 43 jobs and add up to 20 new jobs with average salaries above the county wage, according to the presentation.

The Economic Development Corporation requested a grant from the county of up to $235,468, calculated as 50% of the actual increase in tangible personal property tax value resulting from the investment and payable over five years. The grant is performance-based and will be paid only after the company meets the terms of the contract and demonstrates the investment and job metrics.

During the presentation, staff acknowledged an earlier advertising error that listed a higher incentive amount; they said the correct figures were in the board packet and in the offer letter to the company. No members of the public signed up to speak during the hearing. Vice Chair Neider moved to approve the incentive; the motion carried on a voice vote.","The board voted to award a performance-based economic development grant of up to $235,468 over five years to support Kozlowski Advanced Manufacturing’s planned $23 million equipment investment and job growth under Project Ascend.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6092611,"Iredell County commissioners approve two rezonings along White Fox Trail",338,193000,531000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2852662-d92d4b10f4742f8adec6a9da0be6bb0b&start=193&end=531","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2852662-d92d4b10f4742f8adec6a9da0be6bb0b/thumbnail_193000.jpg","/articles/6092611/Iredell-County/North-Carolina/Iredell-County-commissioners-approve-two-rezonings-along-White-Fox-Trail","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6092611-12ecbe9d08fe04221dbc45a9727b1cec/orig.mp4?Expires=1773078950&Signature=dBNBd~fPY3Q7Xwq3KDrdEp4Vf2pAdZIfV-tY8rIEV6S~3Bw3tRhiXF2KEiCtvNw4Eal8apty6XSjjGMkJVszjUs98Yqgw3ZMYEfue02sQ5xkJX~ZEkRO3YHuSjHRbBRPgiJxZqPeXOhDCiF1QvfQvaGCjMuHOWNR3Dp3gd~GIEdRDadxxglQlWmiZSt3KR627LPhH~zkIhdcgQHEAnNL90cXgy70fNOD2ozurwLC3T9XHw8IreE29pE-355UlmnSpQciSgp3b5qhqlgstqkvpUXrtmSjBRFaLUysAiIex1EzZGvtlQvsad-SaOjfP9F38cAzkheaIg5hkZzyUbg07A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a public hearing April 2025, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners approved two zoning map amendments to reclassify parcels along White Fox Trail to a general business (GB) district.

County planning staff and the planning board recommended approval for both requests, saying the changes fit the 2045 Horizon Plan designation for Employment Center / Industrial Flex Office and align the parcels with nearby commercial GB districts. No members of the public signed up to speak at either hearing.

Planning staff presented the first request as a rezoning of about 4.23 acres along White Fox Trail. The staff report said the property is vacant except for a house toward the rear and stressed the parcel’s proximity to existing commercial uses. The planning board voted 9-0 to recommend approval. Commissioner Howe moved to approve the zoning map amendment and amend the 2045 Horizon Plan designation for the site; the motion carried on a voice vote.

The second request covered about 8.86 acres at the corner of White Fox Trail and Old Moxville Road. Staff again recommended rezoning based on the 2045 Horizon Plan and the parcel’s consistency with surrounding GB districts; the planning board also voted unanimously to support the change. Commissioner Stroud moved to approve the map amendment and the plan amendment; the motion passed on a voice vote.

Both rezonings were presented as expansions of the Employment Center / Industrial Flex Office designation and were described by staff as consistent with nearby commercial zoning and recent rezoning actions in the area. The applicant and identified landowner for both requests was Chris C. Cartner (Fort Dobbs LLC).","The Iredell County Board of Commissioners approved two zoning map amendments for parcels on White Fox Trail after staff and the planning board recommended rezoning to a general business (GB) district consistent with nearby commercial development.","actionData","errors"]
