Craven County Board of Commissioners Regular Meeting - September 21, 2026

The Craven County Board of Commissioners held a regular meeting on September 21, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related items were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included approval of two budget amendments for the Sheriff's Office: a $20,000 donation to purchase a van and a $200,000 rollover of federal grant funds to support the county's opioid, stimulant, and substance use program. Additionally, a $225,000 budget amendment was approved to continue funding the ENC TechBridge program, which supports economic development through facility use fees and business lead generation, with no additional local taxpayer cost. The board also approved various appointments to county boards and committees and recognized a retiring mental health advocate. No new contracts or RFPs were specifically mentioned, but the budget amendments and grant rollovers indicate ongoing procurement and funding activities related to public safety and economic development programs.
