During the Monday meeting of the Vance County Board of Commissioners, County Manager Jerry Ayscue informed members that an application in the amount of $750,000 was submitted on September 4, 2009 to the Tobacco Trust Fund to finance a farmer’s market facility in Vance County.
Later in the meeting, after a closed session, commissioners voted unanimously to enter into a 180-day option for four acres of property on Norlina Road for up to seven acres for the market, contingent on grant funds being obtained for that purpose.
