The Louisburg Town Council convened on September 9, 2025, to address several key issues affecting the community, with a particular focus on stormwater management and zoning amendments.

The meeting began with a discussion on the absence of a stormwater runoff policy in Louisburg. Council members expressed concerns about the impact of stormwater on the wastewater system, highlighting the risks associated with cross-connections between leaking storm drains and sewer lines. It was noted that storm drainage systems are typically shallow, while sewer lines are buried deeper, which can lead to contamination if stormwater leaks into the sewer system.

A representative emphasized the importance of establishing a stormwater management plan, suggesting that every town should have one in place. He mentioned that the state periodically offers grants, which can reach up to $400,000, to assist towns in developing these plans and addressing existing stormwater infrastructure issues. The representative encouraged the council to consider these resources for necessary upgrades.

Following the stormwater discussion, Mr. Satterwhite addressed the council regarding a zoning map amendment related to a proposed application for townhomes in the Tangalua area. He thanked the citizens of Louisburg for their feedback on the proposal, assuring them that their concerns would be taken into account as the council moves forward.

The meeting concluded with a commitment from council members to continue engaging with the community and addressing the pressing issues of stormwater management and zoning regulations. The council plans to explore available state resources to enhance the town's infrastructure and ensure the safety and well-being of its residents.
