Craven County to Move Inspections Dept to New Complex
Craven County will relocate the inspections department from the administration building on Craven Street to the Human Resources Complex on Neuse Boulevard within four months. The move aims to create a one stop shop for building permits and septic tanks, improve access, and allow expansion of planning and finance. The county plans a 90 day notice to the Division of Blind Services and will ensure the department is easier to reach and computer linked. The project is expected to cost under 10000 dollars.

Pamlico to begin Smart Start planning with $125000 grant
Pamlico County will use about 125000 in state grants to plan its entry into the Smart Start program. The effort follows a legislative compromise that expanded planning funds to 12 counties, despite broader moves to scale back the program. Warren Gulko notes the approach buys time to deploy funds effectively. Sharon Lord of Jones County lauds Smart Start results and highlights ongoing outreach. The Pamlico partnership has outlined goals for 1997 including child care resources, teen pregnancy prevention, and health and welfare measures, with about 800 children expected to participate.
