News About Town: Every five years Mecklenburg County and the cities and towns therein must update the County's Hazardous Mitigation Plan to remain eligible for FEMA disaster funds in the event of a federally declared disaster. Work recently began on an update and citizens are being asked for input to help prioritize efforts to mitigate hazards and prepare the community. A survey has been created and is available here.
News Around Town: Have you noticed stronger cell reception lately? Mini cell towers are going up around town. These towers look more like a Duke Power pole or street light than the usual imposing structure, so you may not notice them. See if you can spot the one on Independence Pointe Parkway.
