Davidson Commissioners To Meet Tuesday: What’s On The Agenda

DAVIDSON, NC — The Town of Davidson’s Board of Commissioners is set to meet Tuesday to discuss a number of issues, including a proposal for the space that was formerly the Health Home Economist grocery store on Griffith Street.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. at the Town Hall Board Room at 216 S. Main Street.

Among the items included on the agenda for the meeting are a report on the sale of Continuum broadband cable company, extending water service to the Davidson Commons East development site and rezoning of the town’s commerce planning map to accommodate a church moving into retail space on Griffith Street.

CFA Church, which currently operates the town’s only Assembly of God church under a lease agreement with Our Town Cinemas, is seeking to acquire the former grocery store located at 261 Griffith Street. Plans would include a 350-seat auditorium.

According to a town staff memo detailing the issue, the church has previously “received mixed feedback” from commissioners.

“While recognizing that religious institutions are a valuable component of Davidson, the applicant’s request is specific to a site specifically identified as commercial/retail,” the memo said. “Committing the space to a religious use for the long-term would limit future commercial/retail opportunities on the site.”

Here is the full list of topics to be discussed at the Jan. 14 meeting:

• Continuum sale status report
• Consider adoption of a resolution to approve the design and construction
• CFA Church conditional planning area: Pre-development consultation
• Consider adoption of the Davidson Comprehensive Plan
• Consider approval of Davidson Cottages water extension request with conditions
• Discuss proposed request for purchase of town owned lot on Armour Street
