Rezoning for a development in Sherrills Ford was approved by the Catawba County Board of Commissioners over the objections of several local residents and against the advice of the planning board.
The proposal approved by the board of commissioners will allow for a 1,744-home development by Prestige Corporate Development to be built on 872 acres between Mollys Backbone Road and Hopewell Church Road. The proposal to rezone the properties from lower-density zoning to a Planned Development Conditional District to allow for more homes to be built was rejected by the Catawba County Planning Board in early December after 12 people spoke against the project. The planning board only advises the county commissioners; the commissioners have final say.
