Commissioner Stewart asked Montgomery's definition of "support" in item nine.
Montgomery said "support" in this context wasjust to encourage that U.S.21 and Williamson Road
be included in the NC Transportation Improvement Plan.
Commissioner Bowles asked about item three and the reference to a new connector at Hwy.
115. Montgomery said there were original plans for this, and Smith said the "loop" for the
connector was cut off, but the connector remained.
Commissioner Stewart asked what the connector would require of DOT. Smith said the
state would have to fund and develop it unless a developer decided to construct a subdivision. Mrs.
Stewart said she was understanding the committee had discussed developers taking an active part
in some of the road improvements. Smith said it was discussed on the committee level and on a per
acreage basis. Montgomery said this was included in item seven, but that special legislation would
be required.
Chairman Haire said she understood Crescent Resources owned much of the land around
the referenced connector road.
