The City Council of Concord held a regular session on September 10, 2026, which included multiple procurement and development-related discussions. Key procurement actions included authorization for the city manager to execute change orders with Wesco for the electric and water resources meter replacement and AMI project totaling $234,020.47, with an additional $250,000 authorized for future change orders. The council also approved a contract with JD Goodram for construction of a hangar at Concord-Padget Regional Airport valued at approximately $13.2 million and selected Talbert Brighton Ellington as the professional airport architect-engineering consulting firm for a five-year period. Additionally, the council adopted a resolution approving an installment financing contract with Flagstar Public Funding Corporation. Several zoning and land use matters were discussed, including denial of a zoning amendment for 285 Paliside Drive Northeast and a conditional rezoning request for 190 George L Parkway, which was recommended for denial based on inconsistency with the land use plan. The council approved a volunteer annexation petition for a greenway project connecting J Ramsur Park to a nearby neighborhood. The meeting also featured presentations on affordable housing initiatives and public arts projects. Motions related to procurement and contracting were passed unanimously or with majority support, reflecting active city investment in infrastructure and development projects.
