Mount Airy Council approves purchase agreement for new police station site

The Mount Airy Town Council convened on April 7, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including the approval of a purchase and sale agreement for a new police station. The meeting began with a clarification from a council member regarding the need for approval from both the town and Carroll County as they progress through the planning process for the police station.

The council has been collaborating closely with their engineering firm, Van Mar, to address comments and finalize plans related to the project. Following this discussion, the council moved to a vote on the purchase and sale agreement for a portion of the Green Street property, designated for the future police station.

The motion to approve the agreement was met with unanimous support, as council members signified their approval by saying "aye." There were no opposing votes recorded. This decision marks a significant step forward in the town's efforts to enhance public safety infrastructure.

The meeting concluded without further input from council members, indicating a smooth progression through the agenda. The council's next steps will involve continuing to work on the necessary approvals and planning for the police station project.
