She expressed concern that <br />the water lines had been installed on Jim Sossamon Road prior to Troutman Road <br />and Graybark Road. <br /> <br /> Mr. Henry Waldroup, Utilities Director, explained it was necessary to <br />complete the water lines on Jim Sossamon Road and create a hydraulic loop prior <br />to the widening of Highway 24-27. Also, he reported that available funding was <br />applied to those areas where the most customers would be served and that the <br />customer base on Jim Sossamon Road was much more dense than either the Troutman <br />Road or Graybark Road areas. <br /> <br /> Mr. Gerald Newton, Director of Planning, Zoning and Building Inspections, <br />discussed the criteria for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program <br />and the use of limited County funding to leverage available grants in order to <br />serve the most people.
