Augustalee Development that was scheduled to be developed in Cornelius, NC is now a "dead" issue. I first started writing about the Augustalee over a year ago when Josh and Walt Rector, the principals behind Bromont.announced plans for Augustalee. It came with much fanfare, promising to build retail and office space, two hotels and 400 luxury condominium. Unfortunately, Fifth Third Bank foreclosed on the site of the proposed Augustalee development, and local officials say the continuing economic slump all but dooms any chance for the massive center and its accompanying road improvements. "It is dead," one official said this week, "simply because there's no way in hell anybody can do it." Though Fifth Third has not brought any specific proposals forward, leaders say bank officials will "... 07/29/2010

 Lake Norman Waterfront Homes Sell for more than 10% and sometimes 30% off List Price.  After completing a Market Report for Waterfront Lake Norman Homes homes that have sold since 5/1/2010 have on average sold at 80 to 90% of asking price.

Lake Norman, NC region to get it's first Miniature Golf course. For years my partner and I have said "Why isn't there a Mini golf course in the Lake Norman area?" Having 7 yr old triplet boys I would have to drive into Concord, which is 30 minutes away, to play. Well, I just got word that our thoughts are finally coming to fruition. A family from Wisconsin who moved to area backk in 2007 felt the area lacked some family entertainment.   In March of 2009 the whole process began for Lake Norman Miniature Golf and if all things go to plan will open October 1, 2010. They will remain open weather permitting through the Thanksgiving weekend and then shut down through the winter reopening for a full season late March 2011. !Mike CarpinoMike@LakeAndTown.com704-301-9264   06/20/2010
