LELAND, N.C. (WECT) – At the Local Government Commission meeting on Tuesday, July 9, the board is set to discuss funding for the Leland Town Hall, affordable housing in multiple counties and more.
The Town of Leland is asking the LGC to approve its plan to get $13.5 in limited obligation bonds to improve and expand the existing town hall. This will include a 22,000-square-foot, 2-story addition with 69 new offices, flexible office and meeting spaces, upgraded HVAC systems, enhanced evidence processing areas and more parking.
