Mayor laments highway rail project deletion in Thomasville
Thomasville Mayor Carl C. Wilson voiced surprise after the State Highway Commission dropped a highway railroad project from the citys master thoroughfare plan during the Wilmington meeting. A $29,900 local Carmall Street allocation was moved to a statewide urban construction fund, leaving the district with less planned work and delaying a second grade separated railroad crossing and the NC 109 connection under the railroad main line.
