PRIOR BOARD ACTIONS:
October 21, 2024, Regular Meeting, Agenda Item # 24-677 - Open comment period.
BACKGROUND:
Several roads west of downtown Waxhaw are being modified or built as part of project P-5748, which will build a new bridge over NC 75 and the CSX railroad line in order to close railroad crossings at Helms Road and Tory Path Road. This project is currently underway, and one new road has already been completed, connecting Tory Path and Helms Road. Waxhaw and Union County are responsible for naming the roads in this area. They conducted a public input period between November 7 and December 15, 2024. Based on the submitted names, staff have made recommendations for each of the proposed or recently completed segments. The Town of Waxhaw took action on their portions at their February 25, 2025, regular meeting. The recommended name for these segments is King Hagler Road, in honor of King Hagler, Chief of the Catawba Nation from 1750-1763 who was known for keeping the peace between the natives and immigrant settlers.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
