Alamance County Board of Elections to Conduct Educational Seminar on Voter ID Requirement

Written by Alamance Webmaster on . Posted in Announcements, Community, County News, Elections, General News, Public Events.

RALEIGH, N.C. – The Alamance County Board of Elections will hold an educational seminar about voter photo identification requirements at 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Tuesday, July 16, at the Williams High School Auditorium, 1307 South Church Street, Burlington, NC 27215.

The seminar is free and open to the public.

Beginning in 2020, voters will be required to provide photo identification before they vote. This includes both in-person and by-mail voting, with some exceptions. In November 2018, North Carolina voters approved an amendment to the N.C. Constitution to require voters to present photo ID at the polls.

Session Law 2018-144 requires each county board of elections to hold at least two voter ID seminars before September 1, 2019. Attendees also will receive information about voting options, including absentee-by-mail, One-Stop early voting and Election Day voting. Information about provisional voting, the availability of free North Carolina voter ID cards and residency requirements for voting also will be provided.

For more information on the voter ID requirement in North Carolina, please go to www.ncsbe.gov/Voter-ID.

Questions? Please contact the Alamance County Board of Elections at 336-570-6755.

Status of the Ossipee Dam in Altamahaw

Written by Alamance Webmaster on . Posted in Announcements, Community, County News, Emergency Management, General News, Public Safety, Recreation.

This morning, the Alamance County Emergency Management Office and the AO Fire Department were alerted to water leaking from the base of the Ossipee Dam in Altamahaw. Since then, the NC Department of Transportation, the Department of Environmental Quality Dam Safety Division, and the State Emergency Management Office have been in contact with representatives from the local County Emergency Management Office as well as Glen Raven Mills, owner of the dam. At this time, the dam is categorized as a regulated jurisdictional low hazard dam indicating that if failure occurs, there should be minimal negative impact to property.

Glen Raven Mills along with the AO Fire Department and the Alamance County Emergency Management Office will be working together to regularly monitor the situation and will report any change in status to the Department of Environmental Quality Dam Safety Division.

Due to these conditions, the Altamahaw Paddle Access, Shallow Ford Natural Area Paddle Access, Great Bend Park Paddle Access, and the Glencoe Paddle Access will be closed until further notice.

Alamance County ISO Building Code Effectiveness Ratings Improve

Written by Alamance Webmaster on . Posted in Announcements, Community, County News, General News, Inspections.

According to the newest ISO (Insurance Services Office) Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule, Alamance County’s ratings improved from a residential score of six to four and a commercial score of five to three. This evaluation is conducted every ten years, and one through ten scores are determined by evaluation of administration of codes, plan review, and field inspections – all of which contribute to safer buildings during natural disasters. A lower ISO Building Code Effectiveness Classification could possibly reduce insurance premiums for newer structures built this year or after by insurance companies that have adopted the ISO insurance rating program.

According to Alamance County Inspections Director Robert Key, “This improved score was due to a team effort by employees who were dedicated to a successful process of residential plan review, continuing education, and follow-up inspections.”
