Stanly County Commissioners Meeting: July 6, 2026

The Stanly County Commissioners held their regular meeting on July 6, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of interim financing for the West Stanley wastewater treatment plant phase 2 upgrade project. The board approved a resolution to allow PNC National Bank to provide $22.5 million in interim financing at a fixed interest rate of 4.1% during construction, with the project expected to complete within two to three years. This upgrade aims to improve wastewater treatment processes, reduce monthly penalties from environmental violations, and address operational challenges such as sludge removal and fat/oil/grease issues. Additionally, the board appointed Kimberly Blackburn to the Region F Aging Advisory Board and reappointed Lynn Claude Felter to the Economic Development Commission for District 2. The meeting also included a presentation by the Yadkin Riverkeepers on environmental concerns and watershed management, though no direct procurement actions were associated with that presentation. A voting delegate for the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners annual conference was appointed as well.
