SALISBURY — The first Rowan County Board of Commissioners meeting of September will be held on Tuesday instead of Monday because of the Labor Day holiday. The meeting will be at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 5, on the second floor of the Rowan County Administrative Building, located at 130 W. Innes St. in Salisbury.

During that meeting, the commissioners will hold a public hearing for Rowan Transit to receive public feedback on the county’s transportation needs before applying for grants for the 2025 fiscal year. The transit department is hoping to apply for a few different sources of grant funding from the North Carolina Public Transportation Division. If the grants are approved, the transit department would receive a total of $893,131, which includes around $220,000 in required county matching funds.

The other items on the agenda for Tuesday include:

• A request from the Mooresville Motorsport Complex for a permit to exceed the county’s noise regulations. The permit is for an event on Sept. 15, which includes both a race and a concert after the event. The complex is expecting to have over 200 people at the event. The permit to exceed would run from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m. on that day.
• The commissioners will consider applications for appointments to some of the advisory boards in the county. Both the county Health Board and the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council have applications for reappointment or openings, and the Library Board, Planning Board, Rowan Economic Development Council and the Salisbury-Rowan Community Action Agency all have applications despite having no current openings.
