Commissioners approve consent items including grants, a college board reappointment and a fireworks permit
Summary
The board approved consent-agenda items: a $26,490 Golden Leaf Foundation airport due‑diligence grant (no county match), a $1,500 Blue Ridge Energy grant, a North Carolina Building Reuse grant application for 'Pillar' (up to $500,000), reappointment of Del Hamby to the community college board, approval of a Cedar Rock fireworks application for July 5, 2026, and minutes; the consent agenda passed by voice vote.
County Manager Shane Fox presented the consent agenda, which the board approved by voice vote.
Fox described two budget revisions tied to grants: a $26,490 Golden Leaf Foundation award to support airport sewer project due diligence (no county match required) and a $1,500 grant from Blue Ridge Energy to support early-stage economic development conversations. He also outlined an application to the North Carolina Department of Commerce Building Reuse program on behalf of an entity named Pillar; Fox said the maximum potential award for that request would be $500,000 and that the application is before the board for approval to submit.
Fox also presented a reappointment of Del Hamby to the community college and technical institute board of trustees and a fireworks permit for Cedar Rock on July 5, 2026. The board moved to accept the consent agenda as read and the motion passed. No roll‑call votes or opposing votes were recorded on the record.
