Pilot Mountain granted permission to use Invest in Surry funds to fix culvert at Armfield Rec Center
Summary
The board approved a request from the Town of Pilot Mountain to use a previously allocated Invest in Surry grant of $112,519 to replace a deteriorated metal culvert at the Armfield Recreation Center; staff visited the site and recommended allowing the funds to be used for the original intended infrastructure repair.
County Manager Chris Gennov told the board the Town of Pilot Mountain is repaying debts after selling property but asked to use an Invest in Surry allocation of $112,519 for a culvert replacement project at the Armfield Recreation Center rather than returning the funds. Staff inspected the site and recommended permitting the repurposing to address a safety and access issue.
"It was a $112,519," Gennov said when listing the original allocation and the cost estimate included in the board packet. Commissioners acknowledged the site visit and, following a motion, approved allowing the town to use the funds for the culvert replacement as the original intended purpose.
