Mayor-Elect Jason Joiner joined the Atkinson County meeting by phone and told the board he was concerned about immediate repairs needed at the Water Treatment Plant. The minutes record his participation but provide no additional details about the extent of the needed work.
Ted Gibbs of Statewide Engineering responded to Joiner and the board, saying the GEFA application and award were specifically for lift stations; however, Gibbs indicated that if funds remain after the lift station work is complete, GEFA "may consider approval" for other repairs. The minutes do not list a cost estimate for the treatment-plant work or a timeline for any subsequent requests to GEFA.
