Martin County approves Building Reuse Grant support for Project Shoelace, names Mid‑East Commission administrator
Summary
The Martin County Board unanimously approved a Building Reuse Grant application and resolution supporting Project Shoelace on Jan. 5, 2021, and designated the Mid‑East Commission as the grant administrator. The vote followed a closed session on economic development; no closed‑session details were released publicly.
At a Jan. 5, 2021 special meeting, the Martin County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to approve a Building Reuse Grant application and a resolution supporting "Project Shoelace," and approved the Mid‑East Commission to serve as the grant administrator.
Commissioner David "Skip" Gurganus moved for approval and Commissioner Joe R. Ayers seconded; the motion passed unanimously by roll call. The action was taken after the board recessed into a closed session earlier in the meeting for a discussion authorized under North Carolina General Statutes § 143‑318.11(a)(4) (economic development). The public minutes record the entry into and return from closed session but do not disclose any closed‑session deliberations or outcomes.
The resolution and application were approved without a public tally beyond the unanimous roll call noted in the record. The board did not provide grant dollar amounts, project timeline details, or implementation milestones in the public discussion; those specifics may be provided in subsequent agenda materials or by the Mid‑East Commission as administrator.
The board adjourned at 8:25 p.m.; its next regular meeting is scheduled for Jan. 13, 2021.
