This historic Kings Mountain mill could soon become apartments

A historic Kings Mountain mill that was originally opened in the late 1800s by one of the town's founders could soon be transformed into luxury apartments. The Kings Mountain City Council voted 6-1 to rezone the historic Phenix Mill property from light industrial to semi-urban residential. The change allows a developer to turn the building into apartments. Councilman Tyler Fletcher was the sole dissenting vote. Originally known as the Dilling Cotton Mill, it was built by Freno Dilling around 1892. The property is located on Phenix Street with U.S. 74 to the north and bordered by Norfolk Southern railroad tracks along the northwest. Brad Lagano, city planning director, said the property is just under 10 acres and the semi-urban residential designation fits with the surrounding area. Many of the homes near the building are former mill village houses. According to Cleveland County property records, the land is valued at $124,000. Lagano said the Dilling Mill operated for 50 years until it was purchased by Burlington Industries and renamed Phenix Mill in 1940. He said it was in operation until 1982 and has been sitting vacant for the past 40 years. A rusted chain-link fence with a no trespassing sign surrounds

Environmentalists say Lake Lure sewer project deadlines have no teeth

The Town of Lake Lure’s outdated wastewater treatment plant has been out of compliance with state rules on sewage pollution for decades. Built 100 years ago, before environmental regulations, it’s practically impossible to make the leaky system meet standards. Under a Department of Environmental Quality consent order since 2022, the town is working towards rebuilding the system. Partly due to the serious damage the lake suffered in Tropical Storm Helene, the town has fallen behind on the project and missed deadlines. A new proposed agreement would effectively extend some deadlines for necessary upgrades by nearly five years. But the environmental nonprofit MountainTrue, which advocates for better water quality in local river and streams, argues that the agreement should have more teeth and put pressure on the town to fix the problem sooner. The town’s sewage collection system includes 14 miles of cast iron pipes on the bottom of the lake that lake water continuously seeps into, according to a 2007 engineering report by Asheville firm McGill Associates. That’s not polluting the lake itself but the water entering the system through those leaks is overwhelming the plant and forcing it to release undertreated sewage with high levels of ammonia and suspended
