The purpose of the Comprehensive Land use Plan is:
To create a vision for the future of the Town of Mount Olive based on community needs and
desires, and to foster community support for this vision through education and awareness
raising activities.
To prepare the Town of Mount Olive for the future by creating a guide for future growth that
adequately responds to development pressures from nearby urban areas (Goldsboro area).
To coordinate land use planning and infrastructure development in order to encourage desired
development densities, patterns, and locations consistent with Mount Olive’s vision for the
future.
To survey community needs for and attitudes toward public services, facilities, and amenities in
order to improve the quality of life and protect the public health and safety.
To identify potential financing mechanisms and timelines for the provision of future public
services and amenities.
To preserve the small town character of Mount Olive, yet re-evaluate its image and community
identity in light of past trends and future changes.
To identify ways to enhance and invest in the community by working to improve the community
image and promote economic development opportunities.
To make recommendations for preserving and protecting community assets including unique
historic, cultural, and natural features and open spaces.
DEPOT RENOVATIONS
The Town has been awarded additional grant funding in the amount of
$480,500.00 to continue the restoration of the Historic Mount Olive Train Depot.
This work should go to bid in November or December and should be underway
after the first of the year. This will involve a complete restoration of the building’
s interior with new bathroom facilities, new kitchen, and new lighting. This will
provide a wonderful companion facility for the Steele Memorial Library when it is
relocated to the old Belk building at the corner of Main and Chestnut Streets.
The idea of tying the two together with a reading park on the corner of Main and
Chestnut opposite the Belk building has been discussed.
SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM WORK
The Town will hold a pre-bid conference for the phase IV sewer rehab project on
August 17th at 10AM and will open project bids on September 9th at 2PM. Once
work begins on this project it should take approximately 9 months to complete.
The project will consist of sewer line repair or replacement throughout town,
manhole replacement or rehabilitation, and pump station replacement or
rehabilitation. This will serve to address the inflow and infiltration problem that
the town has dealt with for years.
