Sanford Area Growth Alliance CEO Jimmy Randolph introduced the community partners and Broadway Mayor Donald Andrews provided FY 2023-24 updates for the Town of Broadway. A copy of the presentation is attached and incorporated into these minutes. Mayor Andrews noted that Broadway is experiencing growth and is now on the radar. There are 200 developable acres inside Broadway and 500 just outside. The Town's biggest challenge is its wastewater capacity. The current treatment plant is 37 years old and only has a 145,000 Ib/day capacity. Broadway was awarded a grant from NC DEQ to conduct a feasibility study for this project. Installation of an interconnect with the City of Sanford at the Carr Creek Lift Station was determined to be the best option to increase capacity, but the cost is 22 million dollars. Mayor Andrews encouraged meeting attendees to bring this to legislators' attention. 6:46 Mark Lovick arrived. Chairman Kirk Smith officially called the meeting to order for the Lee County Commissioners at 6:46 p.m. once a quorum was present.
