The Town of Mooresville will update the public on the future of the former Tire Masters site at a press conference Thursday afternoon.
The former Tire Masters site is located at 190 West Plaza Drive. The site is where a sinkhole formed.
The press conference is set for today at 3 p.m. in the Town Hall Board Room.
Mayor Chris Carney said the town is negotiating with the property owners to purchase the property as a necessary first step to clean up the site.
The coal-ash sinkhole forced Tire Masters to close earlier this year, ending a 28-year run for the business.
The town of Mooresville said it has hired a third-party, independent group to test the stream water at the site, noting that Lake Norman supplies the town’s drinking water and is monitored for contaminants and other issues as required by state and federal guidelines.Â
