Council approves permanent closure of Fargo Drive segment to support hospital expansion
Summary
The Cumberland County Hospital System petitioned to close an unused portion of Fargo Drive to support development; staff said emergency services raised no objections, utility easements will be reserved, and one public speaker supported the closure. Council adopted the closure resolution.
FAYETTEVILLE — Fayetteville City Council voted Monday to permanently close a segment of Fargo Drive after staff said the portion was never opened for public use and is needed for further hospital development.
Planning staff explained the statutory process under North Carolina law, reported that affected property owners were notified and that emergency services raised no objections. Utility providers requested a blanket utility easement; staff said that easement is being incorporated into closing documents.
Only one person signed up to speak on the item, Jimmy Keyser, who said he supported the closure in the context of the hospital’s expansion and was available to answer questions. Councilmember Green moved to adopt the closure resolution and the council approved the motion.
