INFORMATIONAL SESSION ON PHASE 2 STREET SCAPE IMPROVEMENTS

 

Wednesday, March 3 at 6:00 pm

 

Fuquay-Varina Town Hall

401 Old Honeycutt Road, Fuquay-Varina, NC

 

Sponsored by Fuquay-Varina Revitalization Association & Town of Fuquay-Varina

 

The Streetscape construction project, expected to last about 9 months, will make improvements along North Main Street from Academy to Ennis Street, a portion of Broad Street in Varina and the side streets of East and West Vance, Raleigh, Depot, First and East and West Academy in downtown Fuquay. As part of the bond projects approved by the citizens of the Town of Fuquay-Varina, the Board of Commissioners elected to move forward with the construction of the Streetscape project which began in January.

 

All downtown businesses and property owners are invited to attend.  Businesses and property owners affected by Phase 2 should definitely plan to attend this meeting.

 

During this meeting, town officials will have maps available to show the scope of the project, the pattern of the streetscape along different portions of the roadway and will also discuss the time line for completing this project. Individuals from the Town, the contractor and the project manager will be available to answer any specific questions that you may have.

 

If you are unable to attend this meeting and have specific questions, you can call Arthur Mouberry at 552-1402 or Susan Weis at 552-0848.

Dear All,

Did you know that February is the shortest month of the year and has less than 30 days?  Typically it has 28 days as it does this year, 2010.  When February contains 29 days, it is called 'Leap Year'.  The next Leap Year will be in 2012. So you only have a limited number of days left this month to shop your favorite stores in Fuquay-Varina.  Stop by and visit with me when you are in the neighborhood! 


Sincerely,
Susan B. Weis
