A Blue Linx employee affected by Hurricane Helene flooding asked the Erwin board for a temporary road in the South Industrial Park; Mayor Glenn White said the town is coordinating with FEMA and consultants and Alderwoman Angie Vaughn said she was "100% supportive" of repairing the road quickly.
During public comment at the Jan. 27 meeting, Shane Tilson, an employee of Blue Linx who reported being affected by flooding from Hurricane Helene, asked the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to complete a temporary road in the South Industrial Park to restore access.
Mayor Glenn White acknowledged the request and said the town was "working closely with our consultant's and FEMA to get this road repaired."
