In other business Tuesday, commissioners will consider a resolution to establish the community of Starlight as an intersection name.
The Wayne County Planning Department has received a petition to re-establish the naming of the community of Starlight in order for the state Department of Transportation to place the name on the DOT county map and establish a community identification sign.
This community name was established in 1894 at the intersection of South Jordan’s Chapel Road and Raynor Mill Road. After the community post office closed in 1905, the community name gradually fell into disuse.
Consent agenda items include:
• Motion to approve the addition of Glen Laurel, section nine, Stoney Creek Township, to the state maintenance system, as requested by the N.C. Department of Transportation.

The city council is discussing adding more bus shelters...
Commissioners have confirmed the public hearing date and construction on the downtown project could begin as early as spring or summer. They have also approved naming the Starlight community.
More than 30 miles of roadways in Wayne County will be resurfaced this year after the N.C. Department of Transportation awarded two contracts.
Segments of N.C. 222 near the Johnston County line, N.C. 581 around the U.S. 70 Bypass, and U.S. 117 near Fremont and Pikeville are the primary routes to be refreshed.
S.T. Wooten Corp. of Wilson earned the contract to repave 15.6 miles for $2.5 million.
Barnhill Contracting Co., of Rocky Mount won a contract for $1.9 mill to resurface 16 miles of secondary routes in Wayne County.
Both contractors may begin in March, and the contract calls for completion by the end of the year.
ElectriCities is raising the electric rates in Fremont and Pikeville starting in April. Knowing Fremont (and town board member W.T. Smith), I’m sure they won’t think twice before passing it on to the residents....
Beginning tomorrow, the stretch of Country Club Road between the northbound and southbound lanes of US-117 near Mount Olive will close due to ongoing construction of the interchange, which is still set to open this summer.
NCDOT is holding a public meeting on February 26 at the Maxwell Center to discuss widening US-13 (N. Berkeley Boulevard) to a 4-lane median-divided road between New Hope Road and Saulston Road.
