Industrial Park workers urge Erwin leaders to repair access road
Summary
Employees at Erwins Industrial Park told the Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Sept. 22 that a deteriorating access road is impeding deliveries and posing safety concerns; they asked the board to prioritize repairs, though no funding or formal plan was proposed.
Workers from Erwins Industrial Park urged the Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Sept. 22 to prioritize repairs to a road that serves multiple businesses and heavy trucks. The public commenters said potholes and failing pavement are causing delivery delays and raising safety concerns for employees and drivers.
The speakers, identified in the meeting minutes as employees from the Industrial Park, did not present a formal repair plan or request a specific funding source. The Board did not take immediate action or direct staff to a specific remedy during the meeting. Recorder Tim Baileys subsequent report focused on property clearing for the Apple Festival rather than infrastructure funding.
Board members present for the comments were Alderwoman Angie Vaughn, Alderman Michael Baker, Alderman Gary Chandler and Mayor Glenn White. The meeting record does not attribute a formal staff response or a motion to study or fund repairs at this session. The next regular meeting was announced for Oct. 13, 2025.
