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
