street address(es) 319 N. Generals Blvd.
city Lincolnton zip 28092 tax ID(s) or PIN(s) PIN: 3633-05-18-7507
past use(s) The former site building was constructed from previously undeveloped land in the mid 1960s by Tait Yarn Company. American & Efird acquired the facility in 1967
when it merged with Tait Yarn Company. Edmos Corporation purchased the facility in 1970 and operated the facility through the 1970s. The facility was vacant for two years until it was purchased by Frank Ix & Sons in 1980. Textile Piece Dyeing Co. of NC purchased the facility in 1986 and operated the facility until 1993 when certain of the company's assets were sold to Textile Piece Dyeing Co. of Delaware. Textile Piece Dyeing Company of Delaware operated the facility until 2013 when the facility was idled due to a downturn in the company's core business. During operation, the facility was used for textile manufacturing and finishing including dyeing.
current use(s) Vacant; building demolished in 2015
10
cause(s)/source(s) of contamination:
known Historical on-site textile manufacturing and dyeing by prior owners and operators suspected Potential migration from off-site and nearby former General Marble/Leslie Faye Textiles. B. Regulatory Agency Involvement: List the site names and all identifying numbers (ID No.) previously or currently assigned by any federal, state or local environmental regulatory agencies for the property. The ID No’s may include CERCLIS numbers, RCRA generator
numbers for past and present operations, UST database, Division of Water Quality’s incident management database, and/or Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch inventory numbers. (In many instances, the PD will need to actively seek out this information by reading
environmental site assessment reports, reviewing government files, contacting government
officials, and through the use of government databases, many of which may be available over the internet.)

C. In what way(s) is the property is abandoned, idled, or underused? Textile Piece Dyeing Co. of Delaware ceased manufacturing operations in July 2013. The facility was razed in 2015. A pump house remains on the property. The building's footprint is denoted by the remaining concrete slab and adjacent asphalt drive and parking areas. D. In what way(s) is the actual or possible contamination at the property a hindrance to development or redevelopment of the property (attach any supporting documentation such as
letters from lending institutions)? The property has been vacant and idled since 2013. Soil and groundwater impacts are present at the site as a result of past on-site activities from prior owners and operators and
11
possible migration to the site from off-site source(s). The PPD believes it is necessary to obtain a Brownfields agreement so that future owners and occupants will have the protections and
benefits afforded by a Brownfields Agreement. Further, the availability of financing for redevelopment of the property will likely depend on the properties’ entry into the Brownfields Program. Thus, Brownfields protection is important for the sale and redevelopment of the property. E. In what way(s) is the redevelopment of the property difficult or impossible without a brownfields agreement (attach any supporting documentation such as letters form lending
institutions)? Please see the response to Question II.D. above. The property is located in an area that is transitioning from primarily manufacturing to mixed uses including retail, office, and multi-family
residential. Given the impacts to soil and groundwater at the site, the PPD believes that a Brownfields agreement will be essential for the sale and redevelopment of the property.
F. What are the planned use(s) of the redeveloped brownfields property to which the PD will commit? Be as specific as specific as possible.
To be determined, but potential uses include retail, office, general commercial, industrial, hospitality (hotel), or multi-family residential, G. Current tax value of brownfields property: $383,428 H. Estimated capital investment in redevelopment project: $To be determined I. List and describe the public benefits that will result from the property’s redevelopment. Be as specific as possible. (Examples of public benefits for brownfields projects include job creation,
tax base increases, revitalization of blighted areas, preserved green space, preserved historic places, improving disadvantaged neighborhood quality-of-life related retail shopping
opportunities, affordable housing, environmental cleanup activities or set asides that have
community or environmental benefits. In gauging public benefit, NCBP places great value upon letters of support from community groups and local government that describe
anticipated improvements in quality of life for neighboring communities that the project will
bring about. The inclusion of such support letters with this application is recommended and encouraged.)
1. Creation of jobs during construction and redevelopment of the site, as well as possible permanent commercial or industrial jobs. 2. Tax base increase on the property through property development. 3. Spur to additional community investment and development in the area resulting in further tax base and employment opportunities. 4. Positive impacts on the surrounding community. 5. Beneficial use of the property, thereby avoiding the use of “green space” in other areas of the community. 6. Aesthetic enhancements.
Special Note: Please describe all environment-friendly technologies and designs PD plans to utilize in its redevelopment strategy. For example, environment friendly redevelopment
12
plans could include: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification, green building materials; green landscaping techniques such as using drought resistant
plants; energy efficient designs, materials, appliances, machinery, etc.; renewable sources of energy, and/or recycling/reuse of old building materials such as brick or wood.
