June 4. Construction has begun at The Serve, a 16-court pickleball facility and restaurant on Chartown Drive, with an official groundbreaking with owners Robin and Jack Salzman as well as local officials.

The Serve represents an investment of $13 million to $17 million.

Opening day could be in January or February next year.

The Serve is on 6.39 acres just north of the Lake Norman Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealership. Plans call for a 51,086 square foot facility with 10 indoor courts and six outdoor courts as well as a restaurant.

There will be more than 150 seats for guests in the restaurant, bar, lounge and cafe areas as well as four Top Golf simulator suites.
