QZAB Bonds Are Signed School Improvements To follow

Today we had a great moment in Bertie County. Thanks to a considerable effort by our County Commissioners, Board of Education, County Manager Zee Lamb, County Attorney Lloyd Smith, County Finance Director Lydia Hoggard, and our Interim Superintendent Dr. Michael Priddy, some of the failures to perform maintenance will be corrected so our children in High School will be able to enjoy a much improved facility.

Nearly $2 million will be spent to improve the facility, primarily a new roof. The signing ceremony above is a milestone and only happened because of diligent work by a lot of people, but the people listed above deserve special mention. We also welcome Dr. Chip Zullinger to one of his first public functions since taking over the reins as Superintendent of our schools.

The most important aspect of this signing ceremony is the great deal the taxpayers of Bertie get with QZAB bonds. We get the school improvements we need and the taxpayers get reduced interest rates that save the county a huge amount of money.
