Barnhill Contracting will be beginning the next phase of construction on Harvey Point Road on Monday, September 25th. During this time, Harvey Point Road will be closed from Burgess Road southeast to Churchs Lane. As such, this section will be closed to all motorist except those whose destinations are within the work zone. All other traffic must follow the designated detour which uses Burgess Road to Holiday Island Road to Churchs Lane. The remaining portions of Harvey Point Road will be open to all traffic. Please keep in mind that the current surface is not the final layer of asphalt and the final pavement markings are not in place. We suggest that motorist use caution when utilizing this section of Harvey Point Road and encourage everyone to continue using the detour route if possible.

AWARE (Animal Welfare of the Albemarle Region Every Day) wants to thank all of you who sent comments and pictures of your pets to us in response to our request. We enjoyed them all! They are posted to the “Testimonials” page on our website. Check them out! Click on AWARE. Now we are asking for you to help spread the word that we are fundraising, so we can continue to offer the spay/neuter programs that have been so successful in the past. Our programs have helped prevent the birth of thousands of kittens and puppies and helped reduce the intake and euthanasia numbers at our local shelter, Tri-County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center in Tyner, NC. We are helping more pet owners every year, but our funding has not increased enough. We operate entirely on donations and grants but grant opportunities are becoming limited and donations declined during the pandemic and have not recovered to pre-Covid levels. To fill the gap, we have created a Go Fund Me page to ask the community of pet lovers to help us continue to fight pet overpopulation in northeastern NC with spay/neuter opportunities. Will you help by forwarding this email to spread the word about our Go Fund Me site? Any amount is greatly appreciated, and all funds are tax-deductible, with 100% going to help the animals! THANK YOU!!!!!!! To make a donation click here.
