Fayetteville's Project Vermilion shows another path to growth | Opinion

The same night Fayetteville City Council voted to schedule a public hearing on a data center moratorium , which has been debated by the council and members of the public for months — it held a public hearing on a different kind of industrial project. There were no speakers from the public for the hearing, and not a lot of council discussion afterward. Council members Nov. 9 heard a report from the city-county economic development team about the city’s pursuit of a company that makes brushless motors. The effort is code-named Project Vermillion, and the company says it would create 104 jobs, paying an average wage of $65,000. The city and county are competing against Georgia for a project that would also be eligible for North Carolina grant funding. The vote Monday authorized further action to try to land the company. The county is scheduled to hold its public hearing on the project at its Nov. 16 meeting, according to a public notice. Witnessing the City Council’s quick, purposeful action on the motor manufacturer company is a reminder that when it comes to large-scale economic development opportunities, data centers are not the only fish in the sea.

Split-zoning discovery prompts request for old Wilmington property

Owners of a two-story building at 2705 Market St. are seeking to rezone the property to accommodate a new tenant after discovering the structure straddles two zoning districts. The proposal is under review by the city and pending before the Wilmington Planning Commission. The building was constructed in 1922 and was occupied by Office Furniture Salvage for more than 50 years. According to a project narrative, the property has been split-zoned for “a very long time.” In a letter to nearby property owners, the owners of 2705 Market St., Carlton Fisher and Steve Wallace of Wallace Bros. II, LLC, stated a new tenant planning to establish retail and office uses discovered the office and institutional zoning district extends through the first 25 feet of the building while the remainder is zoned R-10 residential. The application, submitted Oct. 6, seeks to rezone the entire parcel to a community business conditional district with limited uses. According to the project narrative, the building will not be enlarged. Rear vehicular access to Lyndon Avenue would be gated to restrict access to emergency vehicles only. Landscaping and a fence would be installed along the rear property line. Pervious parking would be installed to limit additional

Growth has reached US 17 in Brunswick, but plenty of land remains

The cranes, subdivisions and commercial projects that have transformed much of Brunswick County have not consumed all the land along U.S. 17 . Roughly 50-miles of U.S. 17 has become the spine of Brunswick's growth, connecting some of the areas fastest-growing communities from Leland to Calabash. A StarNews analysis of county parcel records found the corridor still contains several thousands of acres untouched by the development bug . Using the county's Geographic Information System, the StarNews calculated roughly 21,009 acres across 3,106 parcels along the U.S. 17 corridor stretching from the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge to the South Carolina border. The calculation included about 15,890 acres that appear undeveloped within 1,293 parcels. Undeveloped identified parcels had no recorded construction year nor heated building area on property tax records. Those undeveloped parcels account for about 76% of the corridor's acreage. Among the largest properties identified in the corridor are tracts of 1,466 acres, 1,279 acres, 955 acres, 883 acres and 766 acres. Together, the five tracts represent more than 5,300 acres, or roughly one-quarter of the acreage, Municipalities, like Leland, continue to attract new residential and commercial development. However, several large tracts remain intact and only a fraction of the corridor
