News About Town: During the October 12 Board of Commissioners meeting the board approved Option 1 at the approach for NCDOT’s Bonus Allocation Funding for Greylock Extension Road. The Town was presented with three options that would allow staff to move forward with Section A, hopefully putting Matthews in a place where NCDOT would release Bonus Allocation dollars to fund the project. Option 1 puts no town funds toward the project. The extension is part of a network of connector roads planned throughout Matthews that will alleviate congestion on arterial roads.
