Mixed-use development near downtown Cornelius gets OK

CORNELIUS, N.C. — A mixed-use project that would add to the momentum around downtown Cornelius has been approved by town leaders.

On Monday, the Cornelius Board of Commissioners approved a rezoning request for The Venue, a development proposed by Charlotte-based MPV Properties. The project calls for the development of a five-story building containing 70 apartments and 6,000 square feet of commercial space. It would be located on a 2-acre site at 19813 S. Main St., less than half a mile from downtown Cornelius.
