Meeting re Lane Street drainage improvements

The East Lane Street drainage improvement project will comprise replacing the current stormwater pipe that runs through properties to the north of E. Lane Street.

More details are forthcoming, but there will be a public meeting to share and gather information on this project. It will take place on April 24 from 5:00 to 6:30 at the Tarboro Road Community Center at 121 N. Tarboro Road. All are invited.
