"Orange County has been trying to sell more than $1.6 million in
surplus property since May, but only two of five properties have
received bids — one of which is below the minimum property value set by
the county.
A complex sale process and additional restrictions on historic
buildings have made it an especially long process, county officials
said."

A Mint Hill man hopes to turn an abandoned tower standing 60 feet above the white-capped waves of the Atlantic into one of North Carolina's most distinctive vacation getaways. The tower's 5,000 square feet of living space includes seven bedrooms, a kitchen and a recreation room. Guests would come by boat or helicopter. They could expect fabulous views of sunrises, sunsets, sea turtles and migrating whales.

One block of Julian Street, stretching east from Martin Luther King
Jr. Drive, tells the story of Ole Asheboro, Greensboro’s oldest suburban
neighborhood. Decay. Rebirth. A stack of unfinished city plans.
And hope that three decades of redevelopment and setbacks might bring
something better to Ole Asheboro soon.

Under Charlotte’s current zoning rules, property owners who want to preserve historic signs or landmarks to move them to a new location must go through an expensive, months-long process. Historic Charlotte is pushing for new, simplified zoning regulations that would make it easier, faster and cheaper to preserve signs as long as they meet safety codes.

Last night, the House passed a major package of energy and oil spill
provisions dubbed the CLEAR Act. Why is this good news for
preservationists? The legislation contains a provision that would fully
fund the Historic Preservation Fund at its entire authorized level of
$150 million. Not since its inception in 1976 has the Historic
Preservation Fund received full funding to carry out the provisions of
the National Historic Preservation Act. In fact, since 2001,
appropriations have declined from $94 million to less than $80 million.
