Stewart Bell's sons vow to carry on Bell's Seed Store legacy

A beloved gardener and local business owner who spent 40 years leading one of Fayetteville's oldest locally owned businesses has died. Stewart Bell, third-generation owner of Bell’s Seed Store at 230 E. Russell St. downtown, died Oct. 20 after suffering a brain aneurysm, his family said. He was 64. His death came as a shock to family, longtime employees and loyal customers. But those closest to him say they won't let his legacy fade. He chose to help others, just because he could Stewart Bell was a man who always went out of his way for other people, said his wife of nearly 40 years, and he would always do so in a way that made it clear he wasn’t after any personal gain. He simply wanted to show that he was thinking about others before himself, Gwen Bell said. “He knows I like sunflowers and roses,” Gwen Bell said, “And he would just show up sometimes with sunflowers or roses or an orchid, just because he could.” Stewart Bell’s only cares in the world were his business, his family and his Lord, she added. In addition to helping others with their own gardens and yards, Gwen Bell said, her

Fayetteville's Project Vermilion shows another path to growth | Opinion

The same night Fayetteville City Council voted to schedule a public hearing on a data center moratorium , which has been debated by the council and members of the public for months — it held a public hearing on a different kind of industrial project. There were no speakers from the public for the hearing, and not a lot of council discussion afterward. Council members Nov. 9 heard a report from the city-county economic development team about the city’s pursuit of a company that makes brushless motors. The effort is code-named Project Vermillion, and the company says it would create 104 jobs, paying an average wage of $65,000. The city and county are competing against Georgia for a project that would also be eligible for North Carolina grant funding. The vote Monday authorized further action to try to land the company. The county is scheduled to hold its public hearing on the project at its Nov. 16 meeting, according to a public notice. Witnessing the City Council’s quick, purposeful action on the motor manufacturer company is a reminder that when it comes to large-scale economic development opportunities, data centers are not the only fish in the sea.
