Carroll County:
“The Carroll County Industrial Authority (IDA) agreed at its
meeting May 5 to extend the natural gas distribution system to Water and Center
streets in Hillsville to pick up more customers. Andy Jackson made the motion
to approve the extension, with the project cost not to exceed $30,000. The vote
was unanimous.
It was noted that a lot of the expansion work would be
handled by Carroll County employees. Earl Hagee, natural gas pipeline and
utility specialist, told the IDA that 10 customers are now hooked to the system
and that he was receiving calls daily from potential customers. Hagee said
Mohawk is the largest customer, using about five million cubic feet a month.
Some of the other customers include the Carroll County
Governmental Complex, Carroll County High School, and Classic Creations in the
Carroll County Industrial Park. The new STEM Agriculture Lab under construction
at the high school will also be hooked to the system after it’s completed.”
