The City of Morganton held its regular City Council meeting on March 2, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the award of a contract to Wildlands Engineering for $384,652 to provide engineering services for the Rocky Ford greenway rebuild and riverbank stabilization project, funded through a state treasury cash flow loan and FEMA reimbursements. Additionally, the council approved an $18,246 contract amendment with Scarbrough LLC for additional wastewater flow monitoring stations to support the wastewater master planning process. Another significant contract award was made to Kimley Horn and Associates for up to $238,000, with a $7,500 contingency, to develop a unified development ordinance encompassing zoning, subdivision, watershed protection, floodplain, and stormwater ordinances. These contracts reflect ongoing capital improvement and planning efforts in the city.
