Avery County moves $1.8 million into FY24–25 budget to finish Avery High School kitchen renovation
Summary
The board approved a budget amendment carrying forward $1,797,153.84 to complete Avery High School's kitchen renovation, covering remaining project costs including roofing and a commercial dishwasher.
The Avery County Board of Commissioners approved a budget amendment on July 1 to carry forward $1,797,153.84 into the FY2024–25 budget to complete the Avery High School Kitchen Renovation Project.
Finance Officer Caleb Hogan said the county previously approved the school renovation and staff requested moving remaining project funds into the current fiscal year so work can proceed. The amendment covers the remaining construction costs and associated items including roofing and a commercial dishwasher; the motion to adopt the amendment carried unanimously.
The meeting record frames the action as part of the county’s commitment to school facilities: "The Avery County Board of Commissioners in a commitment to providing the most adequate facilities for the students of Avery County approved the Avery High School Kitchen Renovation Project," per the record. County staff did not provide a detailed line-item breakdown in the meeting minutes; the total carryforward amount was specified and approved.
The board also approved several other budget carryforwards and grant rollovers at the same meeting (DARE funds, Dogwood Health Trust grants, FEMA pandemic funds, and opioid planning funds). Officials said they would manage these carryforwards through the FY24–25 appropriations process.
