Work Begins on Chestnut Parkway Artificial Turf Field
Exciting changes are coming to the Chestnut Square Sports Facility!
Work has begun on the new Chestnut Parkway Artificial Turf Field. Thanks to a $25o,000 NFL Grassroots Grant and the support of the
Carolina Panthers Organization, this long -planned project is now quickly becoming a reality. Indian Trail was the only municipality in the
metropolitan area to receive this prestigious grant, which helps to partially fund the project.
The field will replace the current multi -use field. The
artificial turf, which will display the Panthers' logo, will
allow the field to be used in all seasons for football,
soccer and lacrosse. It will also allow the Town to host
more tournaments and events, bringing visitors to
Indian Trail from across the region.
Residents are invited to join the Town for a ribbon
cutting ceremony for the field on Oct. 21 at 7 p.m.
Carolina Panthers' owner David Tepper, as well as
several of the Panthers' players and cheerleaders will
be on hand to celebrate the grand opening of the
field.
The North Carolina Special Olympics will be the first
major event held on the field the weekend of Nov. z
and 3.
The artificial turf field is another step in the
Downtown revitalization, which includes plans for
residential (multi -family) and retail developments, as
well as a hotel. The Mecklenburg Swim Association is
also in the process of constructing a state-of-the-art
Olympic swimming pool facility on Chestnut Parkway,
which is scheduled to open this fall.
"This is an exciting time for growth in Indian Trail ," said Patrick Sadek, town manager. "The vision we had for Downtown is taking shape,
thanks in large part to the NFL and Carolina Panthers for their contribution to the artificial turf project. We look forward to the continued
development of both Uptown and Downtown, as we work to make Indian Trail a top destination in the greater Charlotte metropolitan
area."
Support the Veterans Memorial Garden
The Town of Indian Trail Veterans Memorial Garden officially opened on Memorial Day, 2019.
The Memorial includes seating areas, educational materials, a POW -
MIA monument and flags representing every branch of the Armed
Forces. The project was designed by Indian Trail staff with input from
the community and was constructed by both private contractors and
the Indian Trail Public Works Department.
Make a Donation!
While construction may be complete, community members are
able to continue supporting the project and honor a loved one by
purchasing an engraving of the name, date of service and branch of
service of a veteran. Engravings can be dedicated to current military
members or those who have completed their service.
Engraving donations start at $too, with all funds raised through
the purchase supporting the Memorial. To purchase an engraving,
or if you would like to make a donation, please call Town Hall at
704.821.5401.

UDO/LDM Update
Updates to the Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO) and Land Development
Manual (LDM) are in the final review
stages. Once the review is complete, the
documents will be presented to Town
Council and the Planning Board during a
workshop for adoption.
The UDO establishes the location of uses
and requirements associated with new
development. The LDM establishes
standards for the construction of
community infrastructure such as roads,
sidewalks, trails, stormwater manage-
ment systems, and other infrastructure.
The goal is to have both documents
updated and adopted by the end of the
calendar year.
