Summary
The board authorized the Greene County Museum to serve as the county's lead for America's 250 NC committee and approved a resolution to allow the museum to pursue available state grant funding if the county supports the effort.
The Greene County Board of Commissioners unanimously authorized the Greene County Museum to serve as the county's lead agency for the America's 250 NC committee and approved a resolution supporting the museum's role and potential pursuit of state grant funding.
County staff presented a request for the museum to be the county's lead for America's 250th anniversary activities in North Carolina, noting the state has grant funds available for counties that choose to participate. County staff said the museum expressed support for taking the lead role.
Commissioners discussed some outstanding logistical items, including coordination between the county and the museum and outstanding brick-fundraising work referenced by museum representatives. No additional funding or a grant-application commitment was recorded as required from the board; the resolution authorizes the museum to serve as lead and allows the county to support the effort.
A motion to approve the resolution as presented was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
