IV. Inspector Comments

V. PHOTOGRAPHS

Photo 1: View of mixed-use building facing south across Blowing Rock Road.

A drive-by Site Inspection was performed while waiting for drillers and the environmental
consultant to arrive at another nearby Brownfields property. There are no VIMS present
on the property as stated previously, and housekeeping on the Brownfield property
appeared good. Although there are first floor retail spaces for lease along the ground
floor, none of them appeared occupied at the time of the Site Inspection (Photos 6 and 7).
