CORNELIUS, N.C. — Leaders in Cornelius voted against the proposed idea of turning farmland into a business park Monday night.
A developer, Greenberg Gibbons Properties, was asking to rezone 36 acres along Bailey Road near Highway 115.
It would have included four office buildings, totaling 188,000 square feet.
However, the Cornelius City Council decided against the proposal.
The developer released a statement regarding the decision, saying:
“We are disappointed that the proposed development did not earn the Town’s support,” said Drew Thigpen, co-founder of Greenberg Gibbons Properties. “We know local small businesses need and deserve the support of our project, and we plan to pursue our goals in another Lake Norman area community.”
