It would be great if ECU or an independent company bought up the properties in the "super block" (Charles, 14th, Evans, 10th) and made that the Greek Village for the Fraternities without housing.
That would bring more students within walking distance to the Main Campus. Plus further solidify the Charles Blvd Corridor from Uptown to the Athletic fields.
Because of the 10th St. connector project, the Hope of Glory Minisitries Community Outlet has relocated to the shopping center that houses McFadyen Music on Arlington and Evans (behind BP). Driving by there you can't help but notice the outlet's signage - huge letters, but it looks good.
I believe St. Mary Missionary Baptist Church, which was located on Staton Mill Road, near the fork with Memorial is moving and building a new church at 1551 Flemming School Road, near Staton House Road. Almost $1mil in construction.
Ham Produce Co., a Snow Hill-based firm, will open a food-manufacturing plant in Pitt County, creating up to 57 jobs there over three years. The plant will dehydrate vegetables for use in other foods.
Just got an email from Uptown Greenville about a meeting to discuss the Dickinson Ave Corridor.

"[SIZE=2]Alumni Association announces plans [/SIZE][SIZE=2]for a new Alumni Center to be built on Reade St. The announcement was made last night at a reception at the Governor's Mansion. It is a proposed 33,000 square foot multi functional facility. The building will give the university a 13,500 sf conference center, something I believe it has needed for years. The school currently does not have anywhere to hold conferences on campus for large
groups other than Wright Auditorium, but it cannot meet the needs of most conferences. It will also include a Hall of Excellence,
Library/History Room, Alumni Lounge and other amenities. I look forward to seeing this center built and serve the alumni of our
great university for years to come."[/SIZE]

Unfortunately, I'm living in Raleigh and won't be able get off work early enough to attend the meeting. Looks like its a public forum, so someone else can hop in!
