Talks about the realities of Traffic congestion as a result of Walmart are being reiterated. Duh! :)
Online Utility Payments are at a Whopping 157 customers? What the heck? That # should be a whole lot more people.

Summer Construction 2010!

Very good news. The city is moving forward with its plans for their "Cornelius Main Street Plan". According to the city manager's weekly report, Kerr Construction will start work on it next week. They were the same contractors that worked on the Adair Street part of the project & they did an awesome job with it. Next month, on July 19, there will be a presentation on the preliminary design review for 10th Ave & Baseline Street. Things are really coming together. If you all are wondering how the city is paying for this. I believe most of it is funded by Federal Stimulus funds, 10th Ave I think gets some funding from Walmart, but I don't know exactly.
