Teresa Earnhardt Plans to Transform 399 Acres into Mooresville Technology Park
Teresa Earnhardt, the widow of the late NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt, is set to embark on a new venture by transforming 399 acres of rural land in east Mooresville into an industrial park. This ambitious project is detailed in her rezoning application for the vast former farmland property, signaling a significant development in the area.
Location and Details of Mooresville Technology Park
The proposed Mooresville Technology Park would be situated between Patterson Farm Road and Rustic Road near Cabarrus County, with convenient access from N.C. 3, also known as Dale Earnhardt Highway. This strategic location places the park just 2 1/2 miles away from Dale Earnhardt Inc., the iconic racing headquarters that served as a cornerstone of Earnhardt’s legacy.
Remembering Dale Earnhardt
Dale Earnhardt, a beloved figure in the world of NASCAR, tragically passed away in a last-lap crash at the Daytona 500 on Feb. 18, 2001. His enduring impact on the sport and the community continues to be felt, with tributes and memorabilia honoring his legacy.
Key Players and Timeline
Earnhardt Farms LLC is listed as the property owner, with Teresa Earnhardt as the sole managing member of the LLC, as per N.C. Secretary of State records. The upcoming rezoning request by Teresa Earnhardt is scheduled to be presented at the Oct. 22 Mooresville Planning Board meeting, where recommendations will be made to the Mooresville Board of Commissioners for final approval.
