• Residents blast proposed 500-acre Lake Norman mega community at hearing (charlotteobserver.com) — A packed crowd at the James W. Warren Citizen Center in downtown Lincolnton blasted a proposed 600-home Irongate development planned for 500 rural acres near Lake Norman. Residents warned commissioners about traffic, school crowding, and cultural change, while county planners and developers argued the project fits the land-use plan, preserves open space, and would add millions in annual county revenue.
