    Michael Bay, of Concord Global LLC, along with the town of Mooresville, have been given a pat on the back by the North Carolina Chapter of the American Planning Association for their efforts in restoring the former Burlington Mills cotton mill south of downtown Mooresville.
    The mill, now best known as Merino's Home Furnishings Warehouse, was bestowed with the “Great Transformation” recognition from the APA-NC in the in the 2017 Great Places in North Carolina awards program.
    According to the application submitted by Mooresville Senior Planner Tim Brown, the mill began as Mooresville Cotton Mills in 1893, “ultimately becoming a manufacturer of cotton, wool, and synthetic fabrics for draperies, upholstery, toweling, and clothing.”
    “The Mooresville Cotton Mills transformed Mooresville's identity from a cotton depot town to a booming textile mill town,” said the application. “During the first half of the century, the Mooresville Cotton Mills built a successful industry and a self-sustaining mill village with its own stores, churches, music band, and athletic teams.”
    Since that time, when Bay purchased the vacant mill in 2010, the facility has become a corporate office headquarters for Greenworks Tools, along with housing retailers and restaurants such as Merinos Home Furnishings, Main St. Antiques and Design Gallery, Gator Finishing, OleksynPrannyK, Terawatt Solar, and Alino Pizzeria. Additionally, in 2012, a 1.6 megawatt photovoltic (PV) solar plant was installed on the roof, with the University of North Carolina at Charlotte annually purchasing Renewable Energy Credits generated by the solar plant and leasing 24,000 square feet for solar technology research.
