Mooresville, NC – According to a rezoning application, Dale Earnhardt’s widow Teresa Earnhardt plans to change 399 acres of her property into an industrial park. What used to be a sprawling farm is now a rural property in Mooresville, North Carolina.
Joe Marusak of The News & Observer reported on the change. The new industrial park is set to be named Moorseville Technology Park. It will be off of N.C. 3, Dale Earnhardt Highway.
The report from Marusak states that the property being rezoned is 2.5 miles from Dale Earnhardt Inc. where the NASCAR icon operated his own race team for many years.
At an upcoming Mooresville Planning Board meeting, Teresa Earnhardt is expected to formally request the change. That meeting is scheduled for October 22 with her request listed on the meeting agenda.
Currently, the 399 acres belong to Earnhardt Farms LLC with Teresa operating as the only managing member. Earnhardt has to make the request to the Planning Board who will then make a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners before anything is finalized.
Many NASCAR fans have heard stories of Dale Earnhardt hunting and fishing and farming on his vast property. Always an outdoorsman, it was a deep part of his identity on the track and off of it.
