(E-14) Rec~uest to the North Carolina Department of Transportation for Additional Arena and Event Center Access'Points UPON MOTION of Commissioner Privette, seconded by Commissioner Carruth and unanimously carried, the Board authorized the Chairman to sign the following letter to Mr. Barry Moose, Deputy Division Engineer with the North Carolina Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Board. Dear Mr. Moose: As was discussed on Monday., July 14tn, proper access to the Cabarrus Arena & Events Center is essential. Related and supportive development around the Arena is also critical for the continued growth and utility of the Arena. With the widening and road improvements of NC 49 and the scheduled access changes to the Arena (including restricting the NC 49 access to a right-in only), it appears that two additional locations for access should be incorporated into the current project to create the proper access and related development around the Cabarrus Arena.
