C. In what wayCsl is the property abandoned idled. or underused?
The main mill is currently vacant and in d1srepa~r.
The City of Kinston would like to market this for redevelopment. Prev1ous discuSSIOns have
centered on a mixed use of retail, commercial, office, restaurant and residentiaL However, the
unknown environmental condition of this property is an issue. The City has concerns about their
liability for existing contamination, off-site contamination. and lhe nega!lve perception it bnngs as
lhey try to market it for redevelopment. The C1ty feels th1s agreement and the NCDEQ's
concurrence that rt is safe for its proposed reuse would be a significanl enhancement to help with
the sale and successful redevelopment. The tax benelits il offers loa propspective purchaser
also allows the city to market that as a de-facto incentive package_
E
10
Kinston is an economically challenged commun1ty that has a hard time attracting the type of
redevelopment needed in this area. The negative perception and presence of contaminants only
hinders our ability to market and sell this area and this property_ The City feels this agreement
and the NCDEQ's concurrence that it is safe for its proposed reuse will be crucial for the City to
ga1n interest from possible developers.
' I
The vision to date focuses on developing the property for mixed use of retail, commerc1al,
office, restaurant and res1dent1al.
G. Current tax value of brownfields propertv: $249,975
H_ Estimated capital investment in redevelopment project: $5,000,000-10,000,000
L List and describe the public benefits that will result from the prooortv's redevelopment. Be as
specific as possible. {Examples of public benefits for brownfield& projects include job cn;~ation,
tax base ir!Creases, revitalization of blighted areas, preserved green space, preseNed historic
places, improving disadvantaged neighbothood quality-of-life related retail shopping
oppottuni/ies, affordable housing, environmental cleanup activities or set asic/es that have
community or environmental benefits_ In gauging public benefrt, NCBP places great value
upon letters of suppottli"om 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 tellers with this aPPlication is recommended and
encouraged.)
The area surrounding the Former Glen Raven Mill site is seen as an underserved area of
Kinston and bringing additional uses such as the ones described above will benefit this area by
adding jobs and adding to the tax base.
J.
Soocial Note: Please describe all environment-fliendly technologies and designs PD plans
to utilize in its redevelopment strategy. For example, environment friendly redevelopment
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.
Because the actual developer has not been identified, the PD is currently unsure of any
environmentally-friendly techniques which will be utilized during the redevlopment plan

III. Protective Measures
and/or Surface
I am prepared to take steps necessary to make the propetty suitable for its planned uses while
fully protecting public health and the environment. I propose that NCBP consider a brownfields
agreement that will make the propetty suitable for the planned use{s) through the fol!owing
mechanism(s) (check all that apply):
Contaminant remediation to risk-based levels.
Engineered Controls (e.g., low permeability caps, vapor mitigation systems, etc)
Land use restrictions that run with the land that will restrict or prohibit uses that are
unacceptable from a risk assessment/management perspective. (Important Note: In any
16
fmal browrifkld! agreement generated by the NCBP, land use resll"icticns will ultimately
come with the continuing obligation to submit an arm110l certification that the Land Use
Restrictions are being complied with and are recorded at the applicable register of deeds
office.)
IV. Fees
In coiUlection with a brownfields agreement, the Act requires that the developer pay fees to
offset the cost to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Department of
Justice. In satisfaction of the Act, the following fees apply to any brownfields agreement that is
developed for this project, subject to negotiation of the brownfields agreement:
a. A $2,000 initial fee will be due il:om the applicant PD when both of the following occur:
1) NCBP receives this application and proposed brownfields agreement, AND
2) NCBP notifies the applicant in writing that the applicwrt PD and the project are eligible for
participation in the NCBP and continued negotiation of a brownfields agreement.
b. A second fee of$6,000 will be due from the PD prior to execution of the brownfields
agreement. Should the prospective developer choose to negotiate changes to the agreement
that necessitate evaluation by the Department of Justice, additional fees shall apply.
c. Any addendum/modifications to the BFA or NBP after they are in effect will resuk in an
additional fee of at least $1,000.
d. In the 1111expected event that the environmental conditions at the property are unusually
complex, such that NCBP's costs will clearly exceed the !!hove amounts, NCBP and PD will
negotiate additional fees.
