Mooresville council approves first reading to rename East Harrison Avenue
Summary
After a public hearing with no speakers, the council passed the first reading of Ordinance 2-20-26 to rename East Harrison Avenue; legal counsel said no fees apply and the council may act on first reading. Council discussed installing new signs to reflect the change.
The Mooresville Town Council opened a public hearing on Ordinance 2-20-26 and, after hearing no members of the public, approved the measure on first reading.
The item would rename East Harrison Avenue to Harrison Avenue East. Legal counsel told the council there are no fees associated with the change and that the town may act on first reading. The chair closed the hearing before a motion to approve the ordinance was seconded and carried on a voice vote recorded in the minutes as "Josh Kirk, 5 0."
Council members asked administrative questions about next steps such as ordering and installing new street signs and notifying property owners; one member asked whether the council had considered alternative names (including Bryant Avenue). The chair said staff will notify residents and order signage.
The ordinance affects three to four property owners along the affected stretch; council did not receive public opposition during the hearing. The council recorded the vote as affirming approval on first reading. The item will remain on the docket for finalization and sign installation.
The council moved on to other agenda items after confirming there were no further questions on the ordinance.
