County manager: Davie County returned to Tier 3, official report coming later this month
Summary
Davie County Manager Brian Barnett told commissioners the North Carolina Department of Commerce moved the county back to Tier 3, describing Tier 3 as "less distressed" than Tiers 2 or 1; Barnett said the official report will be released later this month.
Davie County Manager Brian Barnett reported to the Board of Commissioners that the North Carolina Department of Commerce has moved Davie County back into Tier 3 status, which the manager described during the meeting as being "less distressed" than Tier 2 or Tier 1 counties.
Barnett told the board he received the notification shortly before Thanksgiving and that the county previously had been classified as Tier 2. He said the official Department of Commerce report would be published later in the month and that board members may hear more when that report is released.
The manager framed the reinstatement to Tier 3 as a favorable standing relative to other counties; he did not link the change to any specific funding or policy changes during the meeting. The board did not record further discussion or a formal vote tied to the tier classification in the public session.
