(March 205) Request for Brunswick County, NC Government: Costs related to the County Government Complex in Bolivia, NC.
Good evening Meagan, Finance, Aaron, HR, (or Records Officer / Custodian(s) of these records),
Please reply promptly to the following public records request, which I’m making in accordance with NC Public Records Law. https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html
Related to the Brunswick County Government Complex in Bolivia, NC.
I believe that several years ago a cement walking trail was constructed on the grounds of the Government Complex directly adjacent to Business 17 / Old Ocean Highway.
Please provide the total cost for the project paid by the County. Additionally, if any grants or donated funds were utilized to cover construction costs (thus reducing the financial liability on tax payers) for the project, please provide those figures as well. I am not seeking the names of any specific donors or grants, if applicable. My primary inquiry is for the total amount spent from the County budget for all stages of the project: planning, permits, site prep, construction, unveiling / ribbon cutting, and associated maintenance costs since its initial construction.
If any / all of this info is already publicly available online, please provide a link to where it can be accessed.
** I’m simply requesting an electronic copy of an electronic record, if one exists. I’m NOT asking for the opportunity to come in person to "inspect", nor to obtain a printed copy of, this electronic record. I’m requesting explicitly that any responsive info be provided to me via the electronic medium / electronic format (in which the copy of this record already exists). If you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of this request, please specifically cite where a reason for denial is justified under NC Public Records Law. **
