So here's some interesting stats of single family sales in Denver, NC (Lake Norman); going back to January 2007, January 2008, and January 2009. All figures were taken from Carolina Multiple Listing Services.

Carolinas Medical Center-Lincoln Same-Day Surgery Facility Opens This Week in Denver, NC

Carolinas Medical Center-Lincoln Same-Day Surgery Facility Opens! Denver, NC

Wow my backyard continues to GROW . . . . Imagine that! Being a resident of Denver since 1985, I have seen a lot of changes and growing pains….I am full of Denver Trivia!

This week was the opening of our new Carolinas Medical Center – Lincoln Same-Day Surgery facility. This is a totally new medical office complex located on Forney Creek Parkway just off of Optimist Club Road which is near the next phase of the Highway 16 Bypass. Wow, just to think that when I moved here we only had one medical doctor facility and that was at the corner of Highway 16N and Unity Church Road; where the used boat/camper place is now…yep, that tiny building… can you imagine that?

At this new facility there is a shell for a second surgical center for expansion purposes and the facility will also be home too many physicians’ offices. The facilities 30 acre track of land will also facilitate an urgent-care facility expected to be added in the future.

Since there is only one surgery room and the facility will operate on a first shift timeframe only six surgeries will be done each day. There are four patient bays that will allow prep and return areas. Doing this will facilitate continuity of care between patients and nurses.

What a great addition to the place we call home!

See You in Denver!

Lincolnton-Lincoln County Regional Airport ~ Iron Station, NC

Lincolnton-Lincoln County Regional Airport

Iron Station, NC

If you have been reading my past blog posts you know that Denver is my home. You also know that I don’t think it gets much better than Denver or the Lake Norman area for a small town feel. So if you have been thinking of moving to the area ….. here’s another good reason why our area may be a good fit for you and your family and/or your business or future business.

Lincolnton-Lincoln County Regional Airport located in Iron Station on the out skirts of Denver and Lincolnton is about to get a new $1.2 million terminal. The 4,700 square feet, two-story building is scheduled for completion early next year. This will be nearly double the size of the current facility that was first opened more than two decades ago.

The new facility will have upgraded accommodations for pilots, comfortable waiting rooms for passengers, and a state-of-the-art computer system. Lincolnton officials are hoping the new airport will impress businesses considering Lincoln County as a new home and/or it should promote growth of industry around the perimeter of the airport in the years ahead.

If new funding permits the airport has future plans to add additional hanger space and a 500 foot runway extension. For more information about airport services, space, and facts please refer the Lincoln County Regional Airport website.

See you in Denver!

Water Restrictions Continue for Lincoln County ~ North Carolina

Water Restrictions Continue for

Lincoln County ~ North Carolina

Just a reminder to everyone in Lincoln County our water restrictions that were put in place about two years ago, do to the drought of 2007 that brought a 18” below normal rainfall are still in effect even though we have been getting a lot of rain at times.

There are several factors as to why we have been told that we need to continue the restrictions. Various reasons given are that forecasters are predicting a dry winter, the water supply still hasn’t recouped from the drought, and the western part of the county hasn’t seen substantial rainfall as the eastern part.

So the county is asking people, who need to, only water their lawns two days a week and to continue to conserve when possible.

Denver (LAKE NORMAN) ~ Lincoln County Property Tax/Fire District Tax/Sewer Tax

This year was the year that Lincoln County did property revaluations. Yes, most people have seen a HUGE increase and few have seen little or none. Due to the increase Lincoln County Commissioners have set the new tax rate at .57 per $100 valuation; which is four cents less. Commissioners had hoped to set the rate at .50 per $100, but in May voters approved a $44 million school bond referendum and rejected a quarter cent sales tax increase to fund it.
Commissioners approved changes in the local fire district taxes, too. East Lincoln and Denver property owners should check with their insurance companies for possible rate reductions due to improved fire service ratings.
Even though East Lincoln Sewer District is currently tapped out people in this district will see a reduction in their tax rate to two cents per $100 valuation.
