More streetlights are coming to Starke Street in Hamlet. A total of eight lights have been ordered. As of the last town council meeting, officials had finalized their placement plans and were preparing for their installation. Six were to be placed along the sidewalk on the north end of Starke Street. The other two would go next to the benches in front of the Town Hall.
In other business, the town council appointed Cody Clemons to replace Bo McIntire as Street Department assistant. Clemons was recommended by Street Superintendent Kevin Leinbach out of a field of about nine applicants.
The Hamlet Town Council meets again tonight, following the 6:30 p.m. zoning board meeting at Hamlet Town Hall.
