Erwin board approves BlueCross contract tied to $7.2 million Fishery Park grant
Summary
The Erwin Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted April 28 to approve a contract with BlueCross tied to a $7.2 million grant for Fishery Park upgrades; the grant document allocates $6.0 million for remodeling and $1.2 million to a maintenance fund, and no construction timeline was provided.
The Erwin Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved a contract with BlueCross tied to a $7.2 million grant for upgrades to Fishery Park at its April 28 meeting, Recorder Tim Bailey said. Bailey told the board the grant allocates $6.0 million for remodeling and $1.2 million to a maintenance fund to be used exclusively for Fishery Park.
The board approved the contract on a motion by Vice Mayor James "Mickey" Hatcher, seconded by Alderman Michael Baker; roll-call votes were recorded as all ayes. Tim Bailey told the board that the upgrades would be managed by BCBS (referred to in the meeting record as BlueCross/BCBS) but that no estimated timeline was available.
The record does not specify the grant source beyond the board's notation that a grant was received, and it does not list a construction schedule or firm-level contractor for the remodel work. The board did not request or record additional funding details or a timeline during the meeting.
The board's approval authorizes town staff to proceed with the contract process as recorded; the meeting record does not show any amendments to the contract or conditions attached to the motion. The board adjourned after approving the item.
