The Wilkes County Board of Commissioners met yesterday morning for their regular meeting.  Two items on the agenda involved a discussion about reduced funding from the state.  Both the WTA or Wilkes Transportation Authority and the Aging Services of Wilkes were talking with the Commissioners about grant funding from the state that had been reduced over the past year.  The WTA believed that they could make up the different through other revenue sources.  The Meals on Wheels and other programs through Aging Services were affected and the BROC Director asked for a budget revision from the county due to state allocation reductions.  The budget revision was approved.  County Commissioners received a report concerning the planning being completed on the Courthouse Drive Extension Project.  The goal is to start work on the new road by December 1 with a completion date set for April 1, 2014. Commissioners approved for bids to be received for that project.  Also, Wilkes Airport personnel were on hand to talk about bringing the airport up to code with new LED lights and signage.  They have received state grant money and a county match already included in the budget for the project.  Commissioners approved that Precision Approach be awarded the bid for the work at the Airport.
