Town to consider accepting donations for Rocky Branch Loop Trail project
Summary
Staff previewed a project ordinance amendment to accept several donations and grants for the Rocky Branch Loop Trail project, naming the Blanche and Julian Robertson Foundation, Carolina Thread Trail and Duke Energy as contributors; staff will present formal ordinance language at the regular meeting.
Staff told the board it will ask the aldermen to adopt a project ordinance amendment to accept donations and grants for the Rocky Branch Loop Trail project in the area described in briefing (referred to in the transcript as Stained Back Forest). The presentation named several donors and grant sources that staff said would be incorporated into the project funding, including a donation from the Blanche and Julian Robertson Foundation, a Carolina Thread Trail grant and support from Duke Energy.
The mayor said staff (Joe, Heather were named as likely presenters) will provide a fuller update at the next regular meeting and recommended keeping the item on the regular agenda so the board can review the project ordinance language and accept the funds. Staff framed this as a positive development in trail connectivity and a reason to maintain the item on the regular meeting agenda.
