The Wooten Company and NC State University undertook the study using Street Level Analysis, GIS Data Integration and ITRE Software Analysis in the fall of 2011. A preliminary engineering report containing three repair scenarios was presented at two public information sessions for questions and input. The Town Council elected the middle scenario and the project was approved for $1.2 million in funding by public bond referendum in November 2013. Construction of the recommended street and drainage improvements commenced in February 2015 and was completed in August 2015.
