Town of Mooresville/Property Conveyance.
HB 223 authorizes the Town of Mooresville to transfer its owned land to developers or nonprofits for building housing specifically for low- and moderate-income residents, veterans, and emergency responders. The bill requires that any transferred property include deed restrictions ensuring it remains housing for these groups, with the land reverting to the town if misused before the agreed period. Conveyances must be approved via a public board resolution posted online 10 days in advance. This policy change directly enables the town to expand targeted housing options without requiring payment for the land.
