Commissioner Emmett
Winbome cast the lone dis
senting vote, questioning
the benefit to the county
of the $400-$500 a month it
could cost to maintain the
state-installed landscaping.
The board had discussed
the matter previously dur
ing its Jim. 20 meeting. At
that meeting, the commis
sioners asked N.O. Depart
ment of Transportation
Division Roadside Environ
mental Engineer Pat Mans
field if she could come back
to them with drawings that
would illustrate how one of
the areas might look if beau
tified to greet visitors.
Following a suggestion
offered by Commissioner
Keith Nixon, who heads the
Chowan County Tourism
Development board, Man
sfield told the commission
ers she would “lx- glad to
work with the TDA" to get
some input while she devel
ops a design to bring back
to them.
The county would lx* re
sponsible for maintaining
the site under the terms
of an agreement with N.C.
DOT, mamiger Kevin How
ard said.
Currently the county has
multiple landscaped sit<*s at
the interchanges. Mansfield
appeared Indore the board
to discuss an opportunity
for tin* comity to utilize
state enhancement funding
that would revitalize the
existing lietLs at the various
interchanges when the dis
cussion tunit'd to possibly
creating just a single site
that would welcome visi
tors.
Commissioner John
Mitchener requesttxl that
the proposed design being
created by Mansfield eni
phasize tin* conununity's
"seasonal beauty."
Nixon suggested at
Monday’s meeting that
the county explore using
volunteers from 4-H or
Mastt*r Gardeners to help
maintain the plant beds.
There was also some dis
cussion about possibly
using inmate labor to help
with the upkeep.
