School Disposal Meeting - July 30th

The Bertie County Commissioners and the Bertie County Board of Education will hold a joint meeting at the Council on Aging building on July 30th at 3:00 PM. The primary topic is the C.G. White public hearing to talk about the process by which the disposal of that surplus school will be handled.

However the issues are broader than C.G. White and the Powellsville area alone. Since we will shortly be determining what will happen with Askewville and J.P. Law in Merry Hill also, the meeting could have broader impact than just C.G. White as it will clearly be establishing the decision pattern that will be followed twice more in fairly short order.

The article below about C.G. White indicates that certain groups are already putting pressure on our elected officials. Everyone who lives close to Powellsville, Merry Hill and Askewville has an interest in this upcoming meeting. In fact since a lot of tax payer dollars are at stake, everyone who pays taxes in Bertie County has an interest too.
