Regular readers of the Herald Citizen likely will notice something new in this week’s edition.
At the top of the front page, you’ll now see “The Lake Norman Citizen.”
The name actually harkens back to a paper created in 2009 that, after a series of acquisitions and merging of publi-cations, eventually morphed into the Herald Citizen. In making the change, we felt the new name gives the paper a geographic and community identity that the Herald Citizen moniker lacked, while at the same time acknowledging the in-fl uence the Lake Norman Citizen earned in northern Mecklenburg County.
The new name also complements those of the Lake Norman Media Group’s other weekly publications: the Mooresville Citi-zen and the Denver Citizen.
What won’t change is our commitment to being the premier print and digital news source in northern Mecklenburg County. In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, fulfi lling that pledge has often been a challenge as we – like so many of you – face unprecedented economic obstacles.
But, like our neighbors, we lean into those challenges while adapting to an evolution in how we live and work.
Now more than ever, we feel fortu-nate to be a part of this community, and pledge to continue proving it. ❏

MOORESVILLE – For Alli Goode, the best part of organizing an event is watching people enjoy it.
“It’s the memories that are made that make me most excited,” Goode said.
And the town’s upcoming One Moore Fest, a new event that will focus on multicultural identities and traditions, will give attendees lots of opportunities to make memories.
Goode, who is the special events and mar-keting coordinator for Mooresville’s parks and recreation department, said the festival will feature numerous opportunities for attendees to eat, experience and learn about different cultures.
“I want people to know it’s going to be ex-citing,” Goode said. “It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be different than maybe some of the other things they’ve attended.”

HUNTERSVILLE – A project 10 years in the making is coming to fruition at the Latta Plantation Nature Preserve.
A new home for the Carolina Rap-tor Center and county-owned preserve that borders the eastern side of Moun-tain Island Lake will break ground in September.
