REQUEST FOR REVIEW/DECISION CONCERNING NORTH CAROLINA'S
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP) & IREDELL COUNTY'S
PRIORITY LISTING: Planning Director Ron Smith advised that on Thursday, November 16,
2000, there would be a meeting in Shelby, N.C., pertaining to the 2002-2008 Transportation
Improvement Program Priority Listing for Division 12. The meeting includes a public comment
period and Smith said he planned to attend. Smith said state officials had advised local
governments to "stand firm" on past listed transportation priorities. Mr. Smith said lie recently heard
that Statesville might be designated an "urban area." Smith said if this occurred, this area would
probably be listed as a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).
Smith then reviewed the Iredell County Priority Listing that was submitted to the state in
October of 1999. It was the consensus of the commissioners to retain the same priority listing.
(Note: A complete copy ofthe listing can be found in the 7:00 P.M. minutes.)

150. He said the Catawba officials planned to ask the state for a new feasibility study on the
highway. He said the Catawba representatives had asked for a letter of endorsement from Iredell
County. The commissioners agreed to allow Mr. Smith to write a letter of support for a Hwy. 150
feasibility study.
