She said Kannapolis estimates the project to cost approximately $6.5 million, anticipates there will not be enough revenue to cover debt service and provided the following two options: (1) annex the community and put them on a waiting list behind other communities already in line; or (2) maintain status quo. She further reported on two possible alternate courses of action: (1) the County becomes a funding partner; and (2) the County pursues and receives Federal grant funding. She stated the Fishertown community is not a competitive area for grants. There was a general discussion on the subject. The following issues were addressed: the status of the survey; was the project included in the TIF financing; cost to the residents if annexed by Kannapolis; possible grant funding; etc. Several Board members expressed a desire to wait until the survey has been completed before taking action and a discussion on failed septic tanks ensued.
