Stantonsburg property rezoned, annexed for 500 homes

The Greenville City Council on Thursday rezoned and annexed nearly 196 acres of property along Stantonsburg Road west of town despite concerns neighboring residents had about flooding and the impact on their properties. The project developer, Walton North Carolina LLC, requested the property be rezoned from rural residential under Pitt County jurisdiction to residential agricultural under city jurisdiction for the construction of about 500 homes. After debate, the council unanimously approved the rezoning request for the property, located along along the southern right-of-way of Stantonsburg Road about 200 feet west of Ellwood Drive; it then approved the annexation. In other business, the council also rezoned a .16 acre storefront property on the southern right-of-way Dickinson Avenue, about 60 feet southwest of Ficklen Street, from downtown commercial fringe to downtown commercial. It annexed 5 acres located along the southern right-of-way of Dickinson Avenue about 400 feet west of Frog Level Road. The property is owned by Greenville Utilities Commission, which plans to locate a water tower on the property. It also approved a municipal agreement with the N.C. Department of Transportation for a citywide traffic signal upgrade. The project, which is expected to begin in 2028, will cost nearly $15.5 million.

AG looks into complaints that Triangle gas stations aren't sharing tax break

Gas stations in the Triangle are among those the state Department of Justice is looking into, following consumer complaints that the stations aren’t passing along the state tax break on fuel. The attorney general’s office had sent 42 letters of inquiry to gas stations that may not be passing along savings from the gas tax pause, as of Nov. 6 . One Durham County retailer has received a letter, along with gas stations in 29 other counties. The letter does not indicate that a gas station has violated the law. It only asks the station to explain its pricing practices. In addition, the Department of Justice has sent nine referrals to the Department of Agriculture, after receiving complaints about differences between advertised fuel prices and the actual price at the pump. ( Inspectors with the Department of Agriculture visit retailers across the state to ensure that advertised prices match prices that ring up at the register.) One referral was based on a complaint about a Wake County gas station. The other referrals concerned gas stations in six counties. Catch up on N.C. Fuel Check As of Oct. 30, the state Department of Justice had sent escalation letters to 31 gas

Driver reports ‘suspected contaminated' fuel at Raleigh station. Sales paused

State inspectors don’t always find issues when they follow up on consumer complaints about gas stations. But in one recent case, a driver reported that the vehicle’s engine stalled after filling up at a Raleigh gas station. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic, who “suspected contaminated gas.” That complaint led to a follow-up inspection, where an inspector found sediment coming through the pump with diesel. While that’s not the fuel type the person who made the complaint had purchased, the finding could harm consumers. The inspector paused sales at the pump, until the issue could be fixed. Full story: Drivers complained about fuel quality at 24 Triangle gas stations. What tests found Here’s what to know about recent fuel quality inspections and how to report complaints: Between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services received fuel quality complaints about 24 stations across Wake, Durham, Chatham and Johnston counties. Twenty of those were in Wake County. Drivers reported that their vehicles lost power or had trouble starting. They also said their engines stalled and check engine lights came on. Some mechanics told customers their vehicles had been filled with contaminated fuel. Inspectors confirmed

A children's bookstore that started out of the trunk of a 2011 Chevy Cruze is now operating out of a storefront at 430 Hill St. in Southeast Raleigh, across the street from St. Augustine's University, after closing in April 2024 following threats against its founder and her family. Liberation Station, described as North Carolina's first and only Black-owned children's bookstore, reopened to the public in its new location late last year, picking back up a mission that began when founder Victoria Scott-Miller went looking for books that looked like her sons and came up nearly empty-handed.
