Daily Southerner

PRINCEVILLE, N.C. — The fire that gutted T&T Grocery, a town landmark, last Friday morning, served as a notice to the Princeville Volunteer Fire Department and the citizens that the repairs of the town's fire hydrants should be completed as soon as possible.

Help is on its way. The town recently received an $84,420 grant to repair 25 hydrants.

Tuesday, the Local Government Commission approved $9,380 transfer from the Water and Sewer fund to match the grant. The LGC also amended the town's budget for the acquisition.
