The Town Board Tuesday approved an easement on town property around the proposed 4-story Mooney’s Corner project on South Main Street. Commissioners also adopted an ethics policy – something now required by state law – and revised the town rules governing alcohol on the Village Green. And they voted to revise an agreement with a Virginia non-profit that bought and preserved the Oakhill Apartments off Beaty Street.

With funding uncertain, library task force seeks ideas
Posted on 05 October 2010.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Library director Charles Brown cautioned during a visit to Davidson last week that maintaining the library system in its current form could be difficult given the county’s continuing budget problems. So county officials hope a newly appointed task force can come up with some long-term answers. The 17-member Future of the Library Task Force begins meeting Oct. 20.
Chairing the volunteer task force is Jim Woodward, former chancellor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Davidson Town Board member Connie Wessner has been picked to represent north Mecklenburg.
