Selma may grant Culver's $40,000 toward equipment
Selma City Council planned to inform Culver's franchise owner Kevin Weasler whether a $40,000 grant would be approved to cover restaurant equipment for a project at Outlet Center Drive. Weasler cited a late discovery of an NC DOT hard median at the Outlet Center and U.S. 70 intersection, which could hinder traffic access and his business model. He noted data showing left-turn access improves restaurant performance.
