Good Happenings In Kinston
Kathy Riggs June 6th, 2010
After a day of hearing the national newscasters trying to convince us that things are worse than they seem I want to share a little good news about things happening in Kinston
After all if you stop by this site periodically I hope that means you might be looking to buy or sell some real estate in the Kinston area!
It’s no secret that a town built on tobacco and textiles has taken its share of hits the past decade; but things are looking up.
If you come into our town from the northern side by the airport, officially the North Carolina Global Transpark, you may see a huge building being constructed by Spirit Aerosystems. The Wichita, Kansas based company is opening a new facility here to construct fuselages.
If you come to Kinston from the west you will notice a massive amount of construction on U.S. 70 just outside of town. Sanderson Farms is building three facilities in Kinston.
Just across from Caswell Center is the site of a future North Carolina Veterans’ Nursing Home.
On Friday, June 4, a groundbreaking ceremony was held at the site of the old, dilapidated Smithfield Foods plant for the Woodmen Community Center. Kinston has the distinction of being the first community selected for the public-private center that will house a wellness center, walking track, and fitness area and pool/water park. Offices and meeting rooms are also a part of the plan. The city and county are each contributing $500,000 to the Woodmen of the World’s $5,000,000 investment.
There’s lots of building going on the future looks bright. So if you are considering relocation, check us out. Home prices are low, temperatures are not extreme and you’ll find Southern hospitality.
On the Lighter Side…
By the time you pay for a house in the suburbs, it isn’t.
