April 25. By Dave Vieser. A special meeting to discuss proposed Improvements for the Hickory Street/Hwy. 115 intersection in downtown Cornelius will be held Monday April 25 from 5 pm to 7 pm at Town Hall on Catawba Avenue.

“There is concern about the timing and the funding for the improvements planned at this intersection,” said Deputy Town Manager Wayne Herron, explaining that the NCDOT is looking for a way to accelerate the schedule.
