Mount Airy officials want to forge a formal contract with a local man who has served the city government as project construction coordinator for its Spencer’s redevelopment effort on a volunteer basis since 2018.
While someone who has monitored the redevelopment since the municipality acquired the former Spencer’s apparel-manufacturing complex in 2014 might see this as another unexpected cost emerging from the project, it actually involves a procedural matter.
“We need it for liability purposes,” Commissioner Marie Wood explained Wednesday afternoon concerning the contract being pursued with Charlie Vaughn.
“And for him to be covered for insurance purposes,” Wood added. “We need that for the city.”
