DAVIDSON — Renovations to Dr. Lang’s office in Davidson are on hold as the town waits for a priority list from office staff.

The building, which first opened to serve local patients in 1976, is in need of various repairs and upgrades, ranging from a leaky front door to improved soundproofing.

Councillors discussed the matter at the Davidson town council meeting on Sept. 20, where some expressed frustration over the continued delay.

“It’s something that’s been on our radar for the past year,” said Coun. Audrey Hamm. “There’s so much to be done.”

Administrator Gary Edom said the doctor’s staff had noted various concerns about the building but had not given the town a list of priority items.

He said he had spoken to a local contractor about replacing some outdated plumbing fixtures but had yet to receive a response.

Mayor Clayton Schneider suggested that the town should ask the doctor’s staff to identify the top three priorities and seek quotes for those items.

Coun. Tyler Alexander agreed, saying, “I think that should come from Dr. Lang . . . The building’s there for him.”

“We need to get the ball rolling, so that we’re not saying something and doing something very different,” said Schneider.

Receptionist Corey Eddie said Wednesday that the office staff has identified some areas of concern, but a formal list has not been drafted.
