NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY

1981 SESSION

 

 

CHAPTER 1356

HOUSE BILL 1468

 

 

AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR A GRANT-IN-AID FOR THE RESTORATION AND REHABILITATION OF THE OLD UNION COUNTY COURTHOUSE.

 

Whereas, the Old Union County Courthouse, constructed in 1886, is one of North Carolina's finest examples of Victorian civic architecture; and

Whereas, the ninety-five year old courthouse has been listed by the United States Department of the Interior in the National Register of Historic Places; and

Whereas, the 1981 Session of the General Assembly has already appropriated the sum of one hundred eighteen thousand seven hundred five dollars ($118,705) for the purpose of interior and exterior restoration and rehabilitation of the Old Union County Courthouse, but the bids have exceeded the initial appropriation; Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1. There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Union County Board of Commissioners the sum of twenty-two thousand seven hundred fifty-two dollars ($22,752) for fiscal year 1982-83 for the interior and exterior restoration and rehabilitation of the Old Union County Courthouse, provided a like amount is raised by Union County to match the grant-in-aid on a dollar-for-dollar basis. These funds shall not become part of the continuation budget. Any unexpended funds at the end of the 1982-83 fiscal year shall not revert to the General Fund.

Sec. 2. This act shall become effective July 1, 1982.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 23rd day of June, 1982.
