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

Tar River Art Gallery at the Mills now open

Marion Clark Weathers immediately recalled the genesis of her becoming an artist. “When I was in the third grade, my report card said: Marion doesn’t pay attention in class. She’s always drawing,” Weathers said Wednesday in an interview. Weathers of Rocky Mount was speaking about the days when she was an elementary school student in Orangeburg, S.C. The graduate of the University of Georgia’s art school has been an artist throughout her life. Her creativity is readily evident locally. Her design of two trains is featured on a mural just off Southwest Main Street downtown. Artist Ashley Fabrizio painted the mural. More of Weathers’s creativity is now displayed at the Tar River Art Gallery at the Mills. The gallery opened Sunday in a building off Falls Road in what was the Larema Beverage Co. before the business closed in November 2025. The building, which dates back to 1835, is part of the Rocky Mount Mills commercial and residential development. “I’ve always believed in having art in Rocky Mount,” Weathers said, adding that the new location “will elevate us to where we need to be.” The gallery is an expansion of the nonprofit Tar River Art Gallery, which has art displayed
