Tim Biddix, owner of the car wash that has been forced to close by the giant sinkhole next to the Morganton Post Office, reported that a Thursday afternoon meeting had been set between City of Morganton engineers, engineers working for the U.S. Postal Service, and the N.C. Department of Transportation. The meeting was closed to the public. A number of vehicles and other work trucks were parked adjacent to the sink hole at 3 p.m. This marks the first substantive development in the story since the Postal Service issued a statement to The Paper on July 12 saying repairs to the sinkhole were set to begin "soon." This story will be updated in the Saturday, Sept. 2, edition of The Paper.
