Buc-ee’s seeks recommendation from planning board for rezoning

The Buc-ee’s chain of travel centers plans to seek a Rocky Mount Planning Board recommendation today that the Rocky Mount City Council rezone a piece of land to pave the way for future development just off the Interstate 95 interchange for Gold Rock. The Planning Board is set to meet at 5:30 p.m. today at City Hall. Buc-ee’s has stated that the chain is under contract to purchase about 34 acres on the southeast side of the interchange northwest of Rocky Mount. That includes the location of dilapidated motel that long ago was a Howard Johnson’s motor lodge and wooded areas near the old motel. Gold Rock was annexed into Rocky Mount in 1997; however, some of the land that would be part of the planned purchase is not part of that satellite annexation and would have to be annexed by the City Council. Representatives of Buc-ee’s would like that land to be annexed and to be rezoned from Nash County general commercial to city B-2 commercial corridor to match the zoning for the rest of the land to the north in Gold Rock that Buc-ee’s also is eyeing for purchase. Land zoned B-2 commercial corridor by the city allows

Unaffiliated voters drive early gains across Albemarle

Nearly 36% of North Carolina voters—roughly 2.8 million people—cast a ballot before early voting ended Saturday, a state record driven largely by unaffiliated voters and Democrats. That figure includes mail-in ballots. In the Albemarle region, the biggest jumps in early ballots came in Perquimans and Chowan counties, according to a comparison with 2022 general election data from the North Carolina State Board of Elections. Perquimans County saw a 30% increase in combined early and mail-in ballots compared with 2022, rising from 2,893 to 3,750. Early voting in Chowan County rose about 22%, from 3,451 to 4,207. “We are surprised with the enthusiasm of the voters,” Perquimans County Elections Director Henry House said in a brief interview Friday, adding that a third of the county had already voted ahead of Saturday’s deadline. Camden and Pasquotank counties also saw higher early turnout, but by smaller margins. Pasquotank ballots increased by about 7%, while Camden turnout grew by 11%. In all four counties, unaffiliated voters cast roughly a third or more of the ballots: 33% in Chowan, 36% in Perquimans and 33% in Pasquotank. Camden was the outlier, with unaffiliated voters casting 48% of its 2,551 ballots. By party, Democrats had the largest

Historical marker sought in Jamesville

Sometimes, when the wind blows just right, echoing through the woods of Jamesville and out across the Roanoke River, a low, mournful, lonely sound of a “train” can be heard — reminding listeners of what once was. If Charles “Bo” Dickerson has his way, Martin County will soon have a more permanent reminder than the wind in the trees of a railroad bed that once existed here, connecting the Jamesville river to the Pamlico in Washington. Dickerson has set into motion a request for a N.C. Highway Historical Marker to commemorate the Jamesville and Washington (J&W) Railroad and Lumber Company that started here in 1869 and closed in 1897. The track leading to Washington was approximately 22.57 miles long and had one stop off in between. What was once known as Dymond City, a bustling town with a 32-room hotel, eventually died out when the railroad stopped running. The train made one round trip in a day, said Dickerson. “It put Martin County on the map big time,” he said. “Also, Beaufort County and even Washington County because of the lumber and produce and grain they hauled for the farmers.” Dickerson owns land where the Jamesville terminus was located and

Martin Co. native to discuss latest book

A Martin County native is coming back home to Williamston to talk about her third book. Leah Weiss, who was born in Williamston, left North Carolina around the age of 10. She spent the rest of her adolescence in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. This will be Weiss’ second time to visit Martin Memorial in recent years to discuss her books. In 2021, she visited to talk about her second book All the Little Hopes, which takes place in a town much like Williamston — the fictional Riverton — during World War II. Weiss said Williamston’s historic German POW camp inspired All the Little Hopes. Wiess considers herself “southern by grace.” “My roots run deep in the flat lands of North Carolina,” she said. Her first book, If the Creek Don’t Rise, set in Appalachia, sold over 100,000 copies. Weiss began writing full-time after retiring from a 24-year career as Executive Assistant to the headmaster at Virginia Episcopal School in 2015, becoming a best-selling author late in life. Ann Phelps, who retired as branch librarian at Martin Memorial in 2023 after 25 years, is now chair of The Friends of Martin Memorial Library. (The Friends of Martin Memorial Library
