It is highly recommended to scheduling a meeting to discuss an application, prior to signing a lease or beginning activity, to ensure a project doesn’t face any unforeseen obstacles. Staff are generally available each weekday between 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM, but may not always be available, due to meetings, site reviews, and general workload. To schedule an appointment, please call 910-278-5024.
