1. Bladen County Board of Commissioners are scheduled to meet at 6:30 p.m. today in the lower level of the courthouse in Elizabethtown. Among the items on the agenda is a report from Emergency Medical Services Chief David Howell, who is expected to update the board on a plan to improve response time to calls.
2. The N.C. Department of Transportation will close U.S. 301 at Exit 22 on Interstate 95 in Lumberton beginning tonight at 10. The exit will be closed from 10 p.m. until 6 p.m. each night through Thursday to allow crews to finish the final paving operation for the diverging diamond interchange at that location.
3. The N.C. Department of Transportation’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Division is accepting applications for its 2016 Bicycle Helmet Initiative.
