Roanoke Rapids Board Talks Underpass and Paving Plan
The Roanoke Rapids City Board met in regular session with Mayor Kelly Jenkins and four commissioners. They asked Halifax County Health to draft an ordinance banning street side fresh meat and fish sales and to clean vacant lots. The board cut street paving loans to 236000, noted bonds ready, and discussed a 100000 underpass project at Roanoke Junction with State Highway input. They voted to seek a state survey for right of way and damages, and a Woman’s Club committee was heard on a public library with possible WPA funds.
