Metrolina Greenhouses Plans To Expand

HUNTERSVILLE – The owners of the nation's largest greenhouse are seeking the town's permission to grow even bigger.

Family-owned Metrolina Greenhouses Inc. is asking the town to rezone about 110 acres on Huntersville-Concord Road to allow construction of greenhouse buildings and expand by about 1.5million square feet, according to documents on file with the Huntersville Planning Department.

The Huntersville Board of Commissioners has scheduled a public hearing on the company's request for 6:30 p.m. Monday at Town Hall, 101 Huntersville-Concord Road.

The Huntersville Planning Board would next consider and make recommendations on the request at its Nov. 16 meeting. The request then is scheduled to go before the Huntersville Board of Commissioners to consider approval Dec. 20.
