Sadly, COVID-19 is still alive and well in Bladen County … Not much being said, but understand deaths are on the rise … locally…
Youngsters and teachers will soon be heading back to school … Hope we do not have a repeat of last year … so far as sickness and deaths are concerned … Vaccines are available … contact the Bladen County Health Department…
NC 87 bypass is in the process of being repaved … FYI…
Work continues on US 701 bridge over Cape Fear River, as well as the Elizabethtown Cemetery…
Federal and state funds are flowing into the area … Not just for the unemployed…
Stock market is doing well…
Four County EMC’s new office in Bladen is a nice addition to the area … located on NC 242 near Star Telephone, Bladen-Gasklins Funeral Home and Farm Bureau…
Many industries in the area have jobs available for those who are looking. A lack of housing in the area is not good … more abandoned dwellings than I recall, ever…
Local law enforcement still busy dealing with illegal drug issues…
When all is said and done, hopefully the new owners and visitors will determine additions/renovations to areas of White Lake are good … and will attract more visitors…
Looking forward to new construction in downtown Bladenboro…
Find it hard to believe, with all the surplus $’s in Raleigh, very little being allocated for retiree benefits … none for many … and didn’t just begin…
A little of this ‘n that…
