At a glance
Based on auto-generated captions; names and details may be misheard.
- What: the city's wastewater pump station sits on a lot owned by the Fieldstone Farms property owners association. The association's board agreed to sell, but its due diligence required a two-thirds vote of about 360 homeowners, so it asked the city to condemn the lot and pay for it.
- Where it stands: after a closed session on 2026-09-08, council voted to file condemnation and authorized the city attorney to proceed.
- Next: the condemnation filing.
- Related (2026-08-03): council bought a surplus NCDOT parcel of more than 2 acres next to the Fieldstone Drive and US 119 pump station site for $1; NCDOT would sell the 200 feet the pump station rebuild needs only with the whole excess parcel.
