Fayetteville and County Race Against Deadline | Fayetteville News

Fayetteville and Cumberland County are racing against a July 8 deadline to merge their 911 centers, after missing an earlier deadline pushed by State Senator Tom McInnis. The goal? Save money and streamline operations—but control over day-to-day management has stalled since 2007. Mayor Mitch Colvin says they’re ready to get it right, not rushed, as both city and county leaders prepare to discuss final details. If no agreement emerges, the senator’s ready to force the merger through new legislation—even if local lawmakers disagree. The clock’s ticking again.
