Moncure organizers win county funding for holiday street fair after DOT and safety planning
Summary
Organizers of a Moncure holiday street fair requested $4,431.30 from county coal‑ash/community funds to close a stretch of road, provide parking and shuttles, and coordinate with DOT and sheriff; the board approved the request unanimously.
Organizers of a Moncure holiday street fair asked the Board on Sept. 15 for a one‑time allocation from county funds to support a community street closure event. Quentin Murray (organizer) outlined plans to block the stretch of road between Liberty and the old Moncure fire department, provide parking at nearby sites, arrange shuttle/golf‑cart disability transport, secure event insurance and coordinate with NCDOT and the sheriff for traffic control.
The organizers requested $4,431.30 from county funds to cover event costs and said they have successfully run larger food‑truck festivals in the past. Staff confirmed available coal‑ash‑derived funds and a larger unallocated balance in the county’s special funds; commissioners asked organizers to plan for sustainability and community partnership. The board approved the request unanimously.
