Dublin's developing Town Center now has names for its two major streets.
Town Council approved Town Center Drive last Thursday for the name of the street that will come off Newbern Road. The other street will be called Dublin Park Road.
When the new Dublin post office is complete, its address will be One Town Center Drive, and the First National Bank of Christiansburg branch on the other side will be Two. Dublin's future town hall will be located at 101 Dublin Park Road.
The Town Center is part of the land acquired from Burlington Mills by Dublin. It became part of the town through a boundary adjustment worked out with Pulaski County, nearly doubling Dublin's geographical size.
The former Burlington property also contains the town's industrial park, where the council got a briefing from Bob Rogers of Design Concepts on proposed improvements to one of the industrial buildings in that park. Councilman Benny Skeens said the town also should consider wiring the buildings in that park so their occupants could have Internet access.
The council approved work on some other addresses in town in connection with its emergency 911 system. Addresses of up to three digits will be assigned to all structures in the town by June. Letters then will go to property owners to confirm their names and verify property ownership.
Between August and December, owners will be asked to place their new address numbers on their buildings, so they can be seen by emergency response teams answering calls. The new addresses would be effective in January 1997.
The council approved Skeens' motion to spend $3,900 for soccer field lights in town, to go with $4,000 from Pulaski County, and also to provide lighting for the town's walking field.
It approved Councilman David Stanley's motion to move the town's recycling center from Wade's Supermarket, where it has been for several years, to the town shop area where it could be completely fenced and better controlled. No date was set for the move.
Sue Thompson, program director at Dublin United Methodist Church, was appointed to the town's Planning Commission.
