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

Habitat for Humanity moves closer to building homes in Kings Mountain

Habitat for Humanity in Cleveland County is one step closer to building homes in Kings Mountain. The Kings Mountain City Council voted at its October meeting to move forward with plans to convey several parcels of land at the north end of Myers Street to the Kings Mountain Redevelopment Commission, which will then transfer the property to the nonprofit. The developed homes will be the first in Kings Mountain for Habitat for Humanity. The process began in 2024, when the city identified the four parcels as a potential site for Habitat for Humanity homes. Since then, the city has been working to determine how to legally convey the property to the organization. In June, the city attempted to transfer the land through an upset bid process, but those plans were scrapped after Sundown Automotives submitted an unexpected bid of $3,000. More: Kings Mountain seeks new path for Habitat for Humanity land sale Henry Earl, assistant city manager, presented a new proposal to council, saying the process had been a long time coming.

‘Pigs can fly': How NC Democrats notched victories in red, rural areas | Opinion

Last week, Lynne Russo achieved what many people had told her was impossible: flipping a deep red district in western North Carolina . Russo, a Democrat, won her race in North Carolina House District 117 with more than 50% of the vote, after running a campaign primarily focused on the cost of living and Hurricane Helene recovery. When Russo first decided to run for office, her Henderson County district wasn’t expected to be competitive. A Republican won it by more than 15 points in 2024, and it’s been decades since any Democrat represented the county in Raleigh. Russo said people reminded her of that nearly every day. “People constantly told me this seat is unflippable,” Russo said. “People that I was certain should have given me money or should have believed in my campaign didn’t. It took some inner fortitude to hear that and keep going.” But Russo always believed that if she worked hard enough, she could win. She sold her condo to cover her living expenses so she could run for office full-time, and she estimates she spent around 16 hours a day working on her campaign. She knocked doors, hosted events, held “coffee talks” with constituents, sent

Spartanburg fire chief placed on leave amid review of PPP loan

City of Spartanburg Fire Chief Pierre Brewton has been placed on paid administrative leave pending a third-party review into questions regarding a business he owns apart from his job with the city. Assistant Chief Will Smart will serve as the interim fire chief, according to an email from City Manager Chris Story to the fire department staff. Brewton, who grew up in Spartanburg, has served as the city's fire chief since 2024 . Before that, he served as the fire chief for Albemarle, North Carolina. During that period, he received a COVID-era Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan from the federal government. Story said the third-party review concerns Brewton's handling of the loan. "We want to work through this process as quickly as possible," he added. A spokesperson with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) confirmed that the agency is looking into the situation. "SLED is aware of allegations involving the Spartanburg Fire Chief Pierre Brewton’s PPP loan and is reviewing tips provided to SLED on the matter at this time," the agency representative said.
