Water Gift to Reeves Center From Mount Airy
Mount Airy will donate over one million gallons of pool water to the Reeves Community Center to ease high summer bills. The plan charges the center a regular bill plus free water beyond set limits for June to September, based on last two summers. Annexation of Schoonbeck property aims to bring city water and fire protection for a new furniture plant expected to employ about 60 people. The council honors two board members and pushes for faster Spring and Worth Street intersection fixes before Tharrington Elementary opens. Southern Railway improvements at Pine and South Streets remain unresolved.
