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

Bringing light, color and beauty to an otherwise dark place

Plans for Christmas parade unfold

The annual Mount Airy Christmas Parade on Nov. 21 will feature the usual holiday floats, marching groups and sparkling lights, but also the added attractions of Jeff and Sheri Easter and a first-ever “sensory-friendly area.” The Easters, who lead a popular Southern gospel group and have ties to the legendary Easter Brothers locally, will serve as grand marshals for the parade scheduled for 5 p.m. that day through the downtown area. Meanwhile, a special area will be designated along the procession route to accommodate onlookers who are sensitive to loud noises. “Because we’ve had a few complaints about the sirens and everything,” Gail Hiatt of the sponsoring Downtown Business Association said of the sounds emanating from public safety vehicles in the parade along with horns and other loud noises. “We’ve never done this before,” Hiatt added regarding the quiet zone. Applications available The Christmas parade typically includes elaborate floats by local businesses, high school marching bands, fire trucks, unique vehicles, festive costumed characters, community organizations, sports teams, churches, local elected officials and others. And, of course, more than a few pieces of candy and other goodies will be tossed out by those riding in the parade. It is considered the

Veterans Day in city to honor patriotism

One good thing about Veterans Day activities in Mount Airy next Wednesday is that unlike previous years, no rain or cold temperatures are in the forecast — with perfect conditions for honoring military members in store instead. “It’s for them,” said Mark Barr, who has been organizing Mount Airy’s annual Veterans Day program since 2013. It will be held Wednesday at Blackmon Amphitheatre near City Hall, with both veterans and the public urged to attend. The service is scheduled for 11 a.m., which commemorates the signing of the Armistice ending World War I in 1918 at that time on the 11th day of the 11th month. This will come after the Mount Airy Veterans Day Parade that will pull out at 9:30 a.m. from Veterans Memorial Park on West Lebanon Street en route to the downtown area. “It looks like it’s going to be a pretty good-sized parade this year,” Barr said of the procession that will feature entries by military organizations and Junior ROTC students from local high schools. Amphitheatre service The 11 a.m. program at Blackmon Amphitheatre will include Staff Sgt. Steven Munoz of the local recruitment unit of the U.S. Marine Corps as guest speaker. Veterans of

Mecklenburg, Discovery Place reach ‘tentative' nature museum deal, manager says

Mecklenburg County has reached a tentative agreement with Discovery Place to settle a dispute over a revamped south Charlotte nature museum. But some county commissioners still have reservations. County Manager Mike Bryant told commissioners at their Thursday meeting the nonprofit museum group is now able to pay back almost $14 million owed to the county within five years. The debt stems from about $14.6 million the county agreed to lend Discovery Place in early 2024 to help cover the construction of a revamped nature museum in Freedom Park . The county owns the property and facility on Sterling Road near the Dilworth and Myers Park neighborhoods. Discovery Place has long operated the museum. The money was due to the county in late October, but Bryant informed commissioners at an Oct. 6 meeting that Discovery Place couldn’t make the payment. Commissioners expressed dismay with the situation, threatening to take control of the museum’s operations and hold Discovery Place in default for the money. Board chair Mark Jerrell formed an ad hoc committee to figure out what the county was willing to agree to, and that group asked county staff to explore an independent financial review of Discovery Place’s operations, assets and
