Why DEQ let a Raleigh real estate agent take over a troubled Wayne County hog farm
A Raleigh real estate agent with no hog farming experience bought a Wayne County farm infamous for a massive 2022 waste spill, and it has kept leaking sludge into public waterways. State regulators approved his permit to run the site without a background check and have little power beyond issuing fines, which the owner hasn’t paid. FULL STORY: Why DEQ trusted a Raleigh real estate agent with the site of a massive hog waste spill Here are key takeaways: Wallace Green, a Raleigh real estate agent operating as Biox Renewables — a one-person LLC with no website or office — bought the former White Oak Farms at auction in 2024 despite never having run such an operation. The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality does not perform background checks or require financial disclosures from applicants. Spokesperson Josh Kastrinsky said the only confirmation sought was that Green had a registered LLC. DEQ has fined Biox three times this year — $10,697 in May, $7,347 in August and $5,280 in September — but Green hasn’t paid any of them and insists he’s “in compliance.” He is also over a year behind on required reports.

Dickinson Avenue building owners want rezoning change
The owner of a century-old building in the downtown Dickinson Avenue corridor is seeking a zoning change that could allow more growth in the district. ELKCO LLC, a Charlotte- based company, requested a nearly 7,000-square-foot structure on Dickinson Avenue, about 60 feet southwest of Ficklen Street, be changed from downtown commercial fringe to downtown commercial zoning. The Greenville Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously voted to recommend the request at its Oct. 20 meeting. The request now goes to Greenville City Council for final approval. According to Pitt County tax records, the building, which was built in 1922, has four address numbers: 807, 809, 811 and 813. It has housed a variety of tenants, including the studio of sculptor Jonathan Bowling. The building was zoned downtown commercial fringe in the late 1960s, according to the commission’s meeting materials. Assistant Director of Planning Chantae Gooby said there are a few areas with downtown commercial fringe zoning left in the area. When a building almost runs to the property line, it’s a much more appropriate zoning, she said, because downtown commercial doesn’t have setbacks, vegetation or parking requirements. The downtown commercial zoning generally is for entertainment, recreation, urban office and retail uses. Microbreweries
