JACKSON – Northampton County Manager Kimberly Turner submitted the Capital Improvement Plan proposal for approval before the county’s Board of Commissioners at the meeting held on March 20.

Commissioner Charles Tyner brought up concerns about the allocation of funds for this plan, citing the proposal for the water department to purchase a new truck every year.

Board Chairman Robert Carter reminded his colleagues that this issue would be discussed at the budget meeting.

The Capital Improvement Plan proposal was accepted and approved by the board.
