UNFINISHED BUSINESS
James Hoffner Property: County Manager Mashburn said that at the February 1
meeting, the James Hoffner family had made an appearance before the board in
reference to their property that was split between Iredell and Rowan Counties.
Mashburn said the family had requested that the two boards of commissioners work
together in an effort to release the family's residential property, or home, to Rowan
County. He said a request had been made to the Iredell-Statesville School System for a
review of the policies used in surrounding counties pertaining to students who might
live in one county and attend school in another county, especially in conjunction with
how tuition was handled and if the local dollars followed the students. He said that
possibly by the next meeting, some information on the request might be available.
Mashburn said this might address some of the concerns of the family.
NEW BUSINESS
Update on Statesville Airport: Commissioner Johnson said the first international
flight recently occurred at the Statesville Airport. He said the flight originated in
Statesville and flew non-stop overseas. Johnson said many requests had occurred from
companies wanting to locate at the airport, but the airport commission had decided to
obtain an overlay plan prior to making any decisions. He said once the plan was
evaluated and put in place, the area would have a "tremendous tax base." Johnson said
Bethlehem Road would have to be temporarily closed due to the need to fully satisfy the
Federal Aviation Administration's concerns that traffic on the roadway would not
interfere with the ILS approach system.
Commissioner Williams asked the status of Airport Road.
Johnson said it was supposed to be opened before Christmas, but the cold
weather and rain caused delays. He said it was now predicted the road would re -open
the end of February, or the first week of March.
