Commissioners Consider Contracts for Workforce Development

Sep 18, 2020

The Cumberland County Board of Commissioners will hold a regular meeting on Monday, Sept. 21. The meeting begins at 6:45 p.m. on the first floor in Room 118 at the Judge E. Maurice Braswell Cumberland County Courthouse, 117 Dick St.

 

During the meeting, the board will consider approving fiscal year 2021 contracts for workforce development services. By federal and state law, county workforce development programs must be contracted through a third-party provider of program services and a one-stop operator to coordinate the workforce development services provided by the county and the state at the NCWORKS Career Center. Two Hawk Workforce Services, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company headquartered in Lumberton, was selected by the Workforce Development Board to be the provider of both program delivery and one stop operator services. Each of these contracts commences Oct. 1, 2020, for a term ending June 30, 2020, with an option for two one-year extensions.

 

Other agenda items include public hearings on four rezoning cases. There will also be a hearing on the Community Development Program Year 2019 Draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The agenda is available on the County’s website at co.cumberland.nc.us.
