Board approves Bolton & Meade comprehensive infrastructure plan, starts regional housing study work

Mitchell County Board of Commissioners · February 10, 2026

Summary

The board approved a Bolton & Meade contract funded by Dogwood for a comprehensive infrastructure plan (CIP) and accepted a regional housing study component intended to guide post‑storm rebuilding and planning.

Commission staff presented a grant‑funded comprehensive infrastructure plan (CIP) contract with Bolton & Meade tied to Dogwood funding. The county's legal counsel had reviewed the contract and staff asked the board to authorize the study so planning work could begin. The chair called for a motion and commissioners approved the contract.

Board members said the timing is appropriate given post‑storm rebuilding needs and emphasized the value of pairing an infrastructure study with the county's housing study. Staff explained the housing study portion should be valid for roughly five years and the infrastructure study may have a longer useful life; the studies will use demographic and regional data and include local outreach components.
