CANDOR – Candor Commissioners have approved the installation of lampposts along the walking trail that was constructed in Fitzgerald Park earlier this year. There are several areas of the trail that are too dark for safe navigation.
“The people of Candor have really been enjoying the trail,” said Mayor Richard Britt. “They had been asking for a walking trail for a long time and it is being used more than we imagined.”
The 1/5 mile paved walkway winds through the park. It was constructed with the help of a grant from FirstHealth of the Carolinas.
The lamps will be provided by Progress Energy with funds that are already included in the town’s recreation budget. Monthly electricity costs will be around $161.00.
In other business, Britt and Commissioners Layton Booker, Phillip Hearne, Rob Martin, Tim Privett and Tim Smith:
• Rescheduled the November 12 board meeting to November 19 due to the Veteran’s Day holiday.
• Declared a 1972 Chevrolet van that was used as an equipment truck by the fire department as surplus property. The town will accept sealed bids on the vehicle until October 8, 2012 at 5:00 pm.
