Retired Bladen County resident asks commissioners to review Plainview School proposal
Summary
Edward Smith, a retired Bladen County resident, asked commissioners to review proposals for reuse of the Plainview School building and said the Board of Education has sent a supporting resolution letter.
Edward Smith, a retired Bladen County resident, told the Bladen County Board of Commissioners he wants the board to review proposals for the Plainview School building and to offer an informal endorsement or feedback.
"All I wanted when I came here was, okay, I just wanna know, do the county commissioners, would they glance at these proposals? Do they think this is a good idea for our county?" Smith said. He told commissioners he was not asking for the county to transfer the building or provide money and that the school board had sent a resolution letter outlining plans and support for the project after six to seven months of work.
Smith said he had discussed the matter with "Miss Goins" from the Board of Education and with other local advisers, and left his contact information with county staff for follow-up. He urged commissioners to review the written proposals he provided and to contact him if they had questions.
Ending: Smith closed by saying he was retired and available to meet with county staff. No formal action or vote on the Plainview School proposals was recorded during the meeting.
