TGOW Phase 2 faces overruns; consultant proposes cutting parking to fit $550,000 allocation
Summary
Consultant Robin Payne told commissioners TGOW Phase 2 is over budget and outlined options including removing planned additional parking spaces to keep the project within the $550,000 funding allocation.
Project consultant Robin Payne told the Bertie County Board that the TGOW Phase 2 project has exceeded its original cost estimates and outlined options to bring expenses back into line.
Payne said one option would be to reduce the scope by eliminating additional parking spaces; that change could help keep the project within the available $550,000 funding allocation while preserving core elements. The consultant framed the trade-offs between scope and budget and recommended staff evaluate which elements are essential to the project’s goals.
Commissioners asked questions about cost drivers and possible next steps; no final decision to alter scope was made at the Jan. 5 meeting. The discussion concluded with staff directed to continue cost analysis and return recommendations to the Board for a future action.
