Indoor courts coming
MOORESVILLE The town intends to open youth and adult basketball and volleyball courts by the fall in a building it owns in Talbert Pointe Business Park, Mooresville town commissioner Chris Carney said.
The Mooresville Board of Commissioners last week voted unanimously to award construction contracts to build two full-size basketball/volleyball courts. They can be divided into four junior basketball courts.
The former Gym Co. building, which the town bought for $800,000, also can accommodate wrestling, cheerleading and gymnastics tournaments, Carney said.
The commissioners awarded a $38,940 contract to PR Building Systems Inc. of Mooresville to demolish freestanding walls, finish upstairs walls, repaint all walls, rails and stairs, remove debris and do other work.
The commissioners awarded a $127,067 contract to RoyalWood Associates Inc. of Raleigh to supply and install about 16,500 square feet of a maple hardwood floor system for the two full-size basketball/volleyball courts, including court markings and town logos for each.
A third contract, for $112,871, went to CLS Construction Supplies of Knoxville, Tenn., to supply and install 12 suspended, retractable basketball goals with height adjusters, breakaway rims and safety straps; two full-court volleyball nets and supports; and three foldup divider curtains - one 100 by 18 feet and two 54 by 22 feet - among other equipment and work.
Town officials originally estimated owning a building and equipping it for such sports would cost about $3million, Carney said.
"We probably saved taxpayers about $2 million," he said.
Town commissioners say they want another month to study a request by the Mooresville Graded School District to close Magnolia Street between Center and Cabarrus avenues from 2 to 3 p.m. on school days beginning Aug. 25.
The town staff recommended that commissioners consider endorsing the closing for a 90-day trial period.
The school system wants the street closed during those hours to improve safety for the hundreds of Mooresville High School and other students who have to cross the street then. The closing also would allow buses to line up near the high school.
The school system staff would be responsible for placing barricades on Magnolia at its intersections with Center and Cabarrus avenues each school day.
The town staff recommended keeping local access open to any resident along Magnolia as well as to fire and police vehicles.
