The town has begun the process of getting the site reviewed for work. Bizzell Designs out of Davidson, NC has been contracted to provide a wholistic design for the sidewalks and other areas of town. Once the overall design is complete and the 300 block has been reviewed by the NC Department of Commerce, requests for proposals to complete the renovation will begin. The Town also plans to apply for funds to update the 100 and 200 blocks of Washington Avenue. This includes new curbs and gutters for both sides of the street. The town has begun the process of requesting proposals for the work. We will know more about completion date once the contract has been awarded. We expect the contract to be awarded and work to begin shortly.

Additionally, Restoration Weldon, a 501(c) (3) non-profit supporting Weldon In Action projects), is selling brick pavers for those who would like to fund this and other revitalization projects in Weldon. Remember or honor a loved one or share your excitement about Weldon by purchasing a brick.

Improvements to the three blocks of Washington Avenue will update the sidewalks to better serve the needs of businesses and increase accessibility for all patrons. Bricks purchased will be placed in each block in the areas between the sidewalks and the curb. Completing the 100 and 200 blocks will make all three business blocks similar in safety, style and appearance.
