Jones County Seeks State Funding For Sewer Extensions
In 1987 88 Jones County financed sewer line extensions to Jones Senior High School and the Jones County branch of Lenoir Community College amid disposal problems. A planned hook up to the Jones Senior Center was not pursued and neighborhoods were left unserved. A 1991 plan to serve Spicy Quinn and Monktown at 70731 failed to find local funding, prompting consideration of a Community Development Block Grant. Pierce notes federal state aid required as local funds are limited.
