Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 5
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Princeville Recovery Plan has been developed for the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) in support of flood recovery efforts for the Town of
Princeville, North Carolina.
The Town of Princeville lags far behind many other cities and towns devastated by the
floods spawned by Hurricane Floyd during the middle of September 1999. This
Recovery Plan is part of a very simple but powerful mission: to bring all of the citizens of
Princeville home as quickly as possible while rebuilding toward a better and more
disaster-resistant community. Key elements of the plan are described as follows:
A. Housing Recovery
The plan recognizes the most important element of the mission is the return of
Princeville's residents to their town. A Princeville Housing Survey is underway with a
goal to contact every pre-flood resident to determine their housing needs and resources.
At the date of this report, over 90% of approximately 2,100 residents have been
surveyed, providing a baseline of information that will assist in finding and tailoring
assistance programs to meet the housing needs of Princeville's citizens.
B. Hazard Mitigation
The plan assesses Princeville's vulnerability to natural and technological risks and
hazards, and provides a wide array of easily implemented actions to prepare for and
respond to potential threats. Improvements such as the restored dike along the Tar
River will provide substantial protection against all but the worst possible event. Less
severe but real threats such as storm water flooding are identified and quantified.
C. Existing Conditions
The plan surveys housing, municipal buildings, infrastructure and the local economy in
Princeville following the flood of September 1999.
D. Community Recovery Plan Options
Specific actions must be taken now to restore the loss and damage caused by Hurricane
Floyd. A modest course of action will return the community to pre-flood conditions.
However, flood recovery also presents an opportunity to take bold steps to recognize
Princeville's heritage and the cultural legacy it can preserve for future generations. The
plan describes three levels of recommended program actions, including: a Basic level of
investment that will essentially restore the community to pre-flood conditions; an
Enhancement program level that will correct long standing deficiencies in services and
infrastructure; and Growth and Development initiatives to significantly upgrade facilities
and infrastructure and pursue new economic development opportunities.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 6

Some of the bold steps that can now be taken, and the cost to carry them out, include:
• Return of the Town Hall to the historical center of the Town: $785,600. A
replacement Town Hall will provide the centerpiece of a model small-town municipal
center, along with a new Police Station.
• Restoration and adaptive reuse of the original Town Hall as an African-American
Cultural Museum: $612,500. The former schoolhouse will be restored and returned
to its simple but noble original configuration. The building will become a museum
that will be a new center of activity for the Town, and an anchor for a new Town
Commons that would connect traditional and contemporary neighborhoods.
• New and replacement community facilities: $917,320. Replacement and new
facilities will be built, including fire station, Senior Citizens Community Center, and
U.S. Post Office, all within walking distance of both the new and old Town Hall with
Town Commons, and close to new and revitalized retail services.
• Development of parks and recreation areas: $3,820,700. A phased program will be
undertaken to recognize and celebrate the legacy of Princeville. A combination of
walking trails, parks and recreation areas will capture the spirit of place and family
that is such an important part of African-American history and culture.
• Upgraded and expanded infrastructure: $11,044,300. New and improved roads,
utilities, and drainage will be developed within the compact pattern of existing land
use to replace dilapidated systems and deliver high quality infrastructure services
throughout Princeville. Where appropriate, services will be extended into new areas
that hold promise for expanded economic opportunity.
E. Implementation
Implementation of the plan is addressed to include recommendations for staffing the
organizations necessary to execute the Housing and Community Recovery programs.
Recommendations include a dedicated Recovery Project Manager employed by the
Town of Princeville, to be supplemented by additional full time and contract support staff
according to the level of program activity.

PRINCEVILLE HOUSING RECOVERY STRATEGY
A. Overview
The primary objective of the Princeville Recovery Plan is to bring all of the citizens of
Princeville home as quickly as possible. This initial chapter of the report concentrates on
the immediate and long-term actions that must be taken in order to bring this objective to
reality.
The chapter is organized into three parts:
• The specific recommendations of this chapter are addressed first, in order to focus
attention on the steps that must be taken now in order to begin returning Princeville
citizens to their homes.
• An overview of housing characteristics and need illustrates the dimensions of
Princeville's housing recovery problem.
• Housing issues that drive the various elements of the implementation strategy are
discussed.
The need for a careful and deliberate strategy is essential, but equally important is the
need to move quickly to bring about Princeville's housing recovery. The steps that are
described below are designed to help the process begin as soon as possible.
B. Recommendations for Housing Recovery
The immediacy of Princeville's housing problem demands that sound recommendations
be defined and implemented as soon as possible. Those recommendations are
described below:
• Activate a Housing Recovery Center to begin the counseling, casework, and
oversight required to match people with programs and to begin the process of
housing reconstruction.
• Establish a Redevelopment Plan, in accordance with North Carolina statutes, that
will facilitate resolution of many of the problems that could otherwise hinder and
delay housing recovery.
• Define the funding sources available, and identifying strategies to meet the needs of
those families who may not be covered by existing resources.
A summary of the cost estimate for implementing these recommendations appears as
Table 2-1 at the end of this section.
1. Create the Housing Recovery Center
Create The Housing Recovery Center (HRC) at a central location in Princeville. The
Center can open immediately in one of the temporary mobile facilities located at Town
Hall. The purpose of the Center is three-fold:
• Provide intake and counseling services to dislocated residents of Princeville,
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 9
• Provide the Princeville Package which consists of specific housing product choices
and ways for residents to replace their housing or repair their existing housing, and
• Provide a central location for information distribution on funding sources, rental
opportunities, and general resources available to residents.
General organizational concepts are illustrated by Figure 2-1.

The counseling center's function will be comprehensive, but initially the counseling
function will be that of intake. The focus will be on information distribution and
assessment of qualification for funding resources to get families back in homes.
After the intake process, the primary function of the counselors will be to develop an
action oriented step-by-step strategy with families to get them into housing that meets
their specific needs and income circumstances. This longer-term function will be that of
an advocate working directly with the family on a regular basis.
A component of the long-term function will be to assist residents with credit issues,
budgeting, and stabilizing their financial circumstances. This can prepare renters for
home ownership, and assist owners in resolving credit issues and reducing their debts.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 10
(1) Functions of the Counseling Center
(a) Intake
Initially, counselors will request specific information to assess the owner's prior
circumstances and eligibility for the state's replacement and repair funding. They will
also provide information on all resources for which the resident is eligible. The
community survey will serve as the basis for counselors to begin contacting owners to
assess their eligibility for funding sources. This list will be cross referenced against the
intake forms from Rocky Mount Edgecombe County Community Development
Corporation (RMECCDC) counselors in Tarboro.
The goal is to quickly assess who is eligible for the state replacement funds, which
involves determining whether they have exhausted all other sources of funds, assessing
the size and value of their previous residence, and determining how much they can
receive in replacement funds.
Those eligible for repair funds will require an inspection and scope of work for the
repairs. Once eligibility is determined, they will be referred to the Construction Manager
(see Princeville Housing Package) for an inspector assignment.
Other displaced owners not eligible for the State's replacement or repair funds will be
matched to other resources, such as private loan products or faith based organizations.
Those who are not eligible for currently available resources due to credit issues, income,
lack of clear title to their land, or other reasons will be referred for more in-depth
counseling.
(b) Case Management
Once eligibility for specific funding sources is determined, a detailed strategy will be
developed with each family. All steps necessary to get them through the funding process
and the purchase or repair process will be listed and detailed. At this stage, the Case
Manager will serve as an advocate for the family, working to ensure that they have
accessed all available funding resources, and providing guidance on decision making
about the options available to family.
(c) Credit and Budget Counseling
Many displaced residents will have credit issues that must be resolved before they have
a full-range of options for financing the purchase of homes or renting a house.
Counselors can assist in advocating for residents, providing specific information about
how to work through credit and income issues, and providing accurate information about
what constitutes a serious credit issue and what can be easily resolved.
(d) Home Ownership Counseling
Those who may want to move from renting to ownership can use the Center for getting
the assistance they need to access financial resources such as low-interest loans, down
payment assistance, and credit and budgeting counseling. Homebuyer education can
become a function of the Center.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 11
(2) Staffing for Counseling Center
Two intake counselors (will become case managers once intake function is complete)
One case manager
One administrative assistant
Initially two intake counselors will be needed to contact the surveyed families who have
not gone through the intake process to complete the necessary intake forms. As the
number of intact sessions is reduced, one counselor can be transferred to case
management.
It is recommended the Town request the state to provide one of their trained intake
counselors to be on site in Princeville immediately. Add one additional intake counselor,
one case manager and an administrative assistant within the next 30 days.
• Those determined to be eligible for the State replacement or repair program will be
referred to a case manager who will verify their eligibility and complete the
underwriting required. The Administrative Assistant will obtain title verifications and
attend to other administrative duties.
• Others who are eligible for USDA Rural Development Programs or other loan
programs through the intake process will be referred to specific contacts that can
assist with the application process. Request staff participation from other agencies.
• Those who have no resources available to them will be referred to a case manager
to determine how the Princeville Fund can be utilized to assist them.
b) The Information Center
The HRC will serve as a clearinghouse for information on a variety of housing resources.
(1) Functions of the Information Center
• Residents will be able to stop at the Center to find out what financial and home
products are available.
• Renters can check the Princeville Housing Resource Directory to see photos of
rental units that are available, find out what rental assistance can be pursued, or how
they might become a homeowner.
• Photos of lots, land or homes for sale will be displayed in the Princeville Housing
Resource Directory.
• Information on homebuyer classes, home maintenance classes, or budget
management sessions will be readily available for users.
• Legal assistance to help solve problems that prevent families from renovating their
house or building a new house can be accessed.
• Information on the permitting and approvals process required by the Town will be
posted.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 12
• Funding sources available through government, private and faith-based
organizations.
• Lists of faith-based organizations providing housing construction assistance
• Information about HUD Section 8 Rental Assistance and a sign up sheet
• Multifamily redevelopment status information for families displaced from rental
developments.
• The Information Center could also serve as a two-way clearinghouse for job training
and placement in trades related to housing recovery. An example is the Workforce
Investment Act program under the direction and management of the Upper Coastal
Plain Council of Governments.
2) Staffina for Information Center
Staff will be needed to greet visitors, direct them to information, set up appointments with
other staff members, and answer phone inquires. Initially the counselors and
administrative assistant can provide these services. When the Center is fully operational,
clerical staff will be needed.
c) Princeville Housing Package
The Princeville Housing Package is a delivery system designed to increase the
placement of new housing ("stick built," modular, and manufactured housing) on the
ground and rehabilitation of existing houses as soon as possible. The purpose of the
Housing Package is to make it easy for displaced residents to select a new house or
make decisions about rehabilitating their existing house.
The Princeville Housing Package will include model plans for "stick-built", modular and
manufactured housing. The plans will provide easily accessible plans that can be built in
Princeville within the funding limitations. The Center will also include a list of general
contractors and manufacturers, qualified by the Town, who can build the models.
In order to expedite housing production a Princeville Housing Package will be created
that includes:
Model Home Plans with prices for:
• "Stick-built" houses by a local homebuilder or builders
• Modular houses
• Manufactured homes
Location of vacant buildable lots in the town that are for sale
Funding and financing available for paying for the houses.
(1) Princeville Speculative Housing Program
As part of the Princeville Housing Package, the housing recovery center could
encourage "stick-built" housing contractors, modular and manufactured housing retailers

May 22, 2000 Page 13
to build and market speculative housing on lots around town. To ensure effectiveness,
the program should include:
• A list of buildable lots with clear title for sale
• No interest development/construction loans for builders or manufacturers
• Purchase information in the model homes, or supplied by the builder, that identifies
the resources available to the Princeville flood victims to help them purchase a
home.
(2) Princeville Housing Rehabilitation Program
The HRC could create a housing rehabilitation resource center that identifies the houses
that owners plan to rehabilitate and move back in. The rehabilitation center should
include the following assistance and information:
• Name of property owners that plan to renovate their homes and the financial
assistance available to them to complete their renovation.
• Rehabilitation Specialist, a contractor, or person with construction experience, who
works for the Town that will help property owners determine what needs to be done
to their homes and provides a scope of services that can be given to private
contractors or faith based volunteers.
• List of contractors and subcontractors that owners or faith-based agencies may call
on when a licensed trade is needed to complete a work task.
• List of faith-based agencies with work crews and assistance that can be contacted
for home repair work.
• List of building supply materials that may be available to flood victims and the
location where materials can be obtained.
• Use existing commercial buildings to create a construction materials warehouse.
(3) Staffing for Princeville Housing Package
A construction coordinator will be needed to coordinate the construction of new homes
and rehabilitation of existing homes.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 14
2. Establish a Princeville Redevelopment Plan
Princeville should seek to establish a redevelopment area in accordance with North
Carolina General Statutes (NCGS) 160A 513 & 515 as a blighted area. This will give the
Town Board the opportunity to clear title problems that might prevent a family from
building a home. It will also allow the Town to acquire and recombine lots that may not
be buildable. The Town will also be able to acquire and demolish blighted property that
may be abandoned as a result of the flood. A budget with funding sources needs to be
prepared for a Redevelopment Plan.
Benefits of a Redevelopment Area. The Redevelopment Plan will allow the town to
more closely manage the restoration of this area of town by:
• Determining appropriate land uses and zoning for the area.
• Improving streets and utilities that serve properties in the redevelopment area
• Using the power of eminent domain to acquire abandoned property and remove
dilapidated structures that may be located on the property.
• Acquiring property through eminent domain that cannot be redeveloped because of
estate problems, liens and judgements and clearing title so it can be redeveloped by
the previous homeowner or new resident in need of a home.
• Combining small contiguous lots of record to create better building lots.
• Providing sites for recreational activities and community facility areas.
Implementation of a Redevelopment Area. The Town will need to create a
Redevelopment Commission to be responsible for overseeing the completion of the
Redevelopment Plan and its proper approval by the town Planning Board and Board of
Commissioners. This Commission could be the Town Board of Commissioners.
The Redevelopment Plan must include the following elements:
• Map showing boundaries of the redevelopment area
• Land use plan for the redevelopment area
• Site plan of the area
• Statement of proposed changes in the zoning ordinance, if any, to accommodate
redevelopment of the area
• Proposed street improvements, if any
• Statement of the controls that may be necessary to implement the plan
• Statement of the estimated cost and method of financing the redevelopment
described in the plan
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 15
Public Hearings and Approval of the Redevelopment Plan
• The Redevelopment Commission must hold a public hearing prior to its final approval
of the plan.
• The Plan must be submitted to the Planning Board for their review and
recommendation of the plan to the Town Board.
• Upon receipt by the Town Board they will hold a public hearing and approve the
Plan.
How to Get Started
• Form the Redevelopment Commission
• Identify sources of funds to pay for a Redevelopment Plan
• Hire consultants to put together a Redevelopment Plan
3. Identify and Pursue Funding Programs
There are three actions that must be taken to provide funding resources for residents of
Princeville to return to their homes.
• Immediately Submit the State Application for Governer's Relief and Recovery
Funds recovery funds as soon as feasible. Request funds for replacement, repair
and technical assistance for building inspectors.
• Create the Princeville Fund to assist those who have no funds-available to pursue
permanent housing, or residents who cannot meet their basic needs for housing.
• Create additional financial resources for displaced renters. Secure funds to
encourage the production of detached single family rental units. Pursue an
allocation of Section 8 Vouchers to assist low-income renters in securing standard
and affordable housing.
a) State Application for Governor's Relief and Recovery Funds
The Governor's Relief and Recovery Funds provide an array of funding for housing
activities. These funds are to be used for unmet needs resulting from Hurricane Floyd,
and can be used for the following purposes:
• Housing replacement and repair for pre-flood owners.
• Housing inspectors and rehabilitation specialists.
• Housing counselors.
• Infrastructure for new development.
• Local governments, non-profits, and public housing authorities to purchase land for
housing development and pre-development costs.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 16
Princeville must submit an application to the Division of Community Development to
access the repair and replacement funds, and the funds for inspectors. It is imperative
that the Town submit this application immediately. The funds are allocated on a first-
come, first-served basis. These funds will serve as an important resource for owners
who are not eligible for many of the programs currently offered.
The application process is simple and straight-forward. The survey will provide initial
information on the number of residents that may be eligible for repair and replacement. A
structure for implementation must also be outlined. Initial eligibility will be determined by
housing counselors. Housing rehabilitation specialists, administrative and finance staff,
legal assistance, general administrative, and management staff will be required (see
staffing below).
The state replacement housing program provides an important resource to owners
below 80% of median income who lost their'homes in Hurricane Floyd. They must have
registered with FEMA, been denied by SBA, are current or have a repayment plan on
their first mortgage (if they have one), and have exhausted all other options such as
USDA, NCHFA loans. Those eligible may received up to $75,000 in a forgivable loan to
purchase a home comparable to their pre-flood home in size and bedroom/bath
configuration.
The repair program funds are available to owners who have damaged property due to
the flood. They are available to owners below 80% of median income, who have
registered with FEMA, been denied or ineligible for SBA, have homes economically
feasible for repair. The assistance will be provided in the form of a 0% interest, deferred
loan.
The application requires that staff functions be outlined to ensure adequate staffing is
available. The following outlines what is needed. Funds can be requested to hire or
contract with additional housing inspectors and rehabilitation specialists. These functions
will be needed to inspect homes to determine eligibility for repair funds, to prepare scope
of services, to assist with securing bids from reputable contractors, monitor the
construction, and request draws. These funds are expected to be managed in the same
manner as Community Development Block Grant funds.
To get these programs operational as quickly as possible, it is recommended that
Princeville call on resources that currently exist and who have expertise in housing
repair and replacement. The functions that will be required include:
• Program administration. Someone responsible for ensuring program guidelines
are met, time schedules are adhered to and funding is managed properly.
• Participant intake and eligibility. Counselors will be needed to accept applications
for the programs, ensure eligibility, and explain the program guidelines to users.
Documentation will be reviewed to verify the size and details of homes to be
replaced.
• Case management. Residents will need hands-on assistance to work through some
of the eligibility requirements. All mortgages, student loans and child support must be
current or have repayment plans. Case managers will work with residents to resolve
issues that may prevent them from meeting the program requirements.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 17
• Inspectors. Inspectors will be needed to assess the feasibility of repair, prepare a
scope of services outlining the needed improvements, preparing preliminary cost
estimates, advertising for and assessing contractor qualifications, bidding projects,
and monitoring construction.
• Financial management. Finance staff will be needed to approve invoices and write
checks for repair and replacement.
• Legal assistance. Title searches will need to take place during the assessment of
eligibility to determine that owners have title to the property that is to be repaired or
replaced. If issues exist that can be resolved to transfer title (i.e., heir property)
assistance can be provided. A closing will occur on repair and replacement loans
where notes and deeds of trust will be prepared and executed, and deeds of trust will
be recorded. A loan trustee will need to be designated.
It is imperative to bring in experienced, functioning organizations to ensure efficient use
of the available funds for repair and replacement, in addition to inspectors and
specialists. Establishing a staff structure from scratch will require too much time.
Supplementing existing resources will be most effective.
Experienced organizations working in the area include: Rocky Mount Edgecombe
County Community Development Corporation (RMECCDC), an established non-profit
experienced in housing development, and currently managing the counseling function for
all of Edgecombe County.
Edgecombe County administers CDBG programs and is administering the replacement
housing funds for Edgecombe County. The Edgecombe County Inspections Department
issues building permits for Princeville.
b) The Princeville Fund
There are a number of individuals that do not have sufficient resources to secure safe
and acceptable housing in Princeville. Some of them failed to register with FEMA, others
have credit issues which prevent them from qualifying for loan programs, many are
renters without rental assistance, and others have not received sufficient resources to
meet their basic housing needs.
Funds can be provided in the form of low interest loans, deferred loans, or grants.
Guidelines will be developed based on the needs that are identified by the counselors
and case managers and confirmed by the Redevelopment Commission.
Capitalizing the fund can begin with seed money from voluntary agency groups, private
foundations and individuals.
c) Funds for Displaced Renters
There are limited resources available to rebuild small-scale (1-5) single family rental
units. Princeville had many renters outside of the four apartment complexes who were
displaced. The loss of income by many modest and low-income landlords has also been
significant.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 18
Princeville renters have very limited resources available to get them back into houses or
apartments. Many cannot afford rents without rental assistance.
Rental rehab program. Princeville had many renters outside of the four apartment
complexes who were displaced (estimated at more than 50 families). Many of these
renter families lived in single-family homes owned by small-scale landlords who rented
one to five units. There are limited resources available to help rebuild these rental units.
As a result, these renter families have limited housing options. In addition, the loss of
income by many modest- to low-income landlords has been significant.
Funds are needed to establish a Princeville Rental Rehabilitation Program that is
modeled after the old HUD Rental Rehabilitation Program which no longer exists. Using
funds from either a public or foundation source, the Town would offer low-interest loans
to small investment property owners to renovate their properties and lease them at
affordable rents to lower-income families displaced by the floods.
Special rental assistance program. In addition, Princeville renters have very limited
resources available to get them back into houses or apartments, if the rental units were
available. Many cannot afford rents without rental assistance (HUD - Section 8 or
USDA rental assistance). Three of the pre-flood apartment complexes had project-
based rental assistance. It is expected that they will have assistance when the units are
rebuilt. However, they will only house 152 of the renter families. There is a significant
need for additional Section 8 vouchers to assist those who were displaced from single-
family rental units.
The Town should request a special allocation of HUD Section 8 vouchers to provide
rental assistance for tenants displaced by the flood. Statistics indicate that a significant
number of the tenants have incomes below 50% of the median, making them eligible for
Section 8 assistance.

C. OVERVIEW OF HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS AND NEEDS
Pre-flood Housing Characteristics
a) Housing Survey and Database
In order to fully understand the needs of the Princeville citizens who were displaced by
the flood, a survey was conducted to collect and assemble key demographic data and
information. The goal of the survey was to reach every pre-flood Princeville household,
potentially covering over 2,100 residents.
The three main methods of gathering information were: "walk-ins" to offices located in
the temporary town hall commons, diligent door-to-door canvassing of the entire town
and temporary trailer parks, and phone surveys of those residents who were otherwise
unreachable. This information was collected using adaptations of existing survey forms
that met the requirements for the Town of Princeville. The information was then entered
into a Web-accessible database where specific analysis of the information could be
generated. To date, the database has covered 90% of the pre-flood population and 80%
of the pre-flood property.
b) Household Characteristics
Table 2-2 provides a sketch of household characteristics from the 1990 census. There
were approximately 719 households in Princeville, including families living in the
Southern Terrace area annexed in the mid-1990's. Fifty-two percent of the households
had members who were in the older age groups (age 55 and older). (This percentage is
for households and not the overall population.) A majority of the community's
households own their homes. In 1990, 54% were owners and 46% were renters.
Whether a household is low income or very low income is a major factor that determines
the type and amount of assistance available to families for housing. Low-income
households have incomes between 80% and 50% of the area median income
(Edgecombe County), and very low-income households have incomes less than 50% of
the area median. (The area median income for a family of four is currently set at
$36,500.) Table 2-2 shows that 393 households, or approximately 55% of the total,
have incomes below 50% of the area median income. An additional 110 households
have incomes between 50% and 80% of the area median income. An approximate total
of 500 households in Princeville have incomes below 80% of the area median, and on
the basis of income, are eligible for state housing assistance. More than 50% of the
below 80% of median households (260) are in the older age groups.

Source: 1990 Census, STF3A.
Table 2-3 provides a profile of housing units. The 1990 housing stock is estimated at
759 units of which 46, or 6%, were vacant. As expected, the dominant housing type for
owners is the single-family, detached home. Approximately 68% of owner-occupied
units were single-family homes. Mobile homes also represent a large share of the owner
units-31 % of the total.
The largest category of rental units is multifamily, which accounts for approximately 50%
of all renter units. However, there were also a significant number of single-family houses
used for rental units - 29% of the total rental units.

Source: 1990 Census, STF3A
The 1990 Census shows that 50% of all housing units are occupied by either one- or
two-person households. This underscores the significant number of older households
living in Princeville.
2. Post-flood Characteristics
Analysis of current trends is based primarily on information from a survey of families
displaced by the flood. The information from this survey is not closely comparable to the
1990 census due to the objectives of the survey, the time difference between the survey
and the census, and the survey methods.
It is estimated that the Princeville flood displaced 653 households. To date, the survey
has identified 116 households that have moved back into the community, leaving more
than 500 households who are living outside of the community in temporary housing or
who have found permanent housing elsewhere.
Tenure of displaced families. Survey results, to date, indicate that 53% of the
displaced households are owners and 47% are either renters or living in a housing unit
that they do not own-owned by relative, property has title problems, or some other
situation. The percentage of owners and renters among the displaced households is
very similar to the percentages for the community as a whole in 1990.

Housing types. Among displaced families, 70% of owners occupied single-family
homes and almost 30% occupied mobile homes before the flood. These percentages
are the same as those reported in the 1990 census.
Small property owners. Anecdotal information from Princeville residents indicates that
a large amount of rental housing was provided by a number of landlords who rented a
small number of houses (1 to 5 units) prior to the flood and who used the rental income
to supplement their income. Specific information on these landlords and their rental
property is not available. However, it may be assumed that a significant number of the
190 rental single-family, duplex, and mobile homes prior to the flood were provided by
small landlords.
3. Housing Need
Preferred replacement housing types. Table 2-5, based on information from the
survey, shows the housing types desired by households planning to return to Princeville.
For owners and renters who expressed a preference, the "stick-built" homes and mobile
homes are the two housing types most preferred. The low interest in modular units may
be due to a lack of information on this product. Replacement of the four multifamily
complexes destroyed or damaged by the flood will provide replacement housing for a
large percentage of renters.

Housing Assistance Need. Table 2-6 provides a current estimate of the Princeville
households requiring housing assistance. Among owner households, an estimated 289
households require housing assistance: 103 are projected to need rehab assistance and
186 require assistance with replacement housing.
An estimated 208 renter families require replacement housing. Reconstruction of the
four rental complexes will provide 152 homes for these families. New
strategies additional multifamily, production of small rental complexes, or single-family
rental units-will be required to meet the needs of the additional families.

Projected housing production needs. Table 2-7 projects the types of replacement
housing units that must be built to meet the community's replacement needs. The table
is based on the housing types desired shown in Table 2-5 and the number of
households requiring assistance projected in Table 2-6.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 25
The projections indicate that the need, based on preferences, is almost evenly split
between site built homes and mobile homes. If there is easier access to stick built
housing types, possibly using modular units, the need for mobile homes may be lower.
For renters, the site built homes may also include attached units (multifamily). The low
need for modular units may be related to a lack of information on this housing type.
Reconstruction of the four rental complexes will be the major housing resource for
renters.

D. ISSUES
Housing Issues
a) Owners (Family and Elderly Households)
(1) Current Situation - Owners
(a) Owner families
There were more than 300 homeowners impacted by the flood that either lost their
homes or sustained substantial damage to their homes. Two hundred and thirty (230) or
70% of these families lived in stick built single -family homes and ninety-six (96) or 29%
of these families lived in mobile homes prior to the flood. One hundred sixty of these
families have begun the rebuilding process: 20 have completed their repairs and have
reoccupied their houses, 90 homes are in the process of being rebuilt and 48 have been
gutted and are ready to be rebuilt.
(b) Elderly Owners
The housing recovery objectives of lower income elderly owners living on fixed incomes
are different from younger homeowners. They prefer a safe, standard home that is free
of debt. They are often less likely to accept federal or state assistance if it involves a
lien on their property. Based on the census and survey data 185 or 56% of the
homeowners impacted by the flood were elderly. In 1990 59% of the households in
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 26
Princeville had incomes less than the area median. This indicates that a large number
of the displaced elderly will have very low incomes.
Owners impacted by the flood now fit into various categories based on their ability to
seek funds to repair or replace their homes.
1. Owners who are above 80% of median income
Despite income levels above 80% of median income, these residents
have very little or no savings, have existing mortgages and are not able to
assume additional debt which will impact their ability to pay for basic living
needs.
2. Owners that qualify for State replacement and repair funds
• Owners have to complete a lengthy process to apply for and be determined
ineligible for federal funds before they can apply for State repair and
replacement funds.
3. Owners that are income eligible for programs but have financial issues
• Questions and issues concerning debt, liens, housing payments, existing
mortgages pay-off must be addressed with the help of housing counselors to
qualify for assistance.
• Owners not registered with FEMA are not eligible for State replacement and
repair funds.
4. Owners that have excessive debt and who are unable to qualify for SBA
• Owners with high debt ratios and poor credit histories will not qualify for SBA
loans with affordable rates and terms.
• Owners that received SBA loans but do not have funds for furniture and basic
household items
5. Owners who are tired of waiting and have obtained loans with higher interest
rates, exhausted personal savings, or units not suited to meet their housing
needs.
(2) Need - Owners
(a) Owner Families
These families need financial assistance to help them replace or repair their previous
homes. Replacement housing is needed quickly as is access to affordable funding
suited to their ability to pay.
(b) Owner Elderly
Seniors need financial assistance that does not encumber their property. Grants are
needed to help renovate existing homes or build new homes. Personal counseling is
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 27
needed as soon as possible to help seniors understand their financing obligations.
Guidance is needed to help seniors make decisions on their home purchase and/or
selection of a contractor for the renovation of their existing home or construction of a
new house.
(3) Obstacles - Owners
(a) Owner Families
Listed below are the obstacles that families and elderly must overcome to restore safe,
standard and comfortable housing.
• Qualification for funding
- Meeting program eligibility criteria
- Credit Issues and lack of down payment funds (pre-flood and post flood)
Income loss or interruption due to loss of job
• Selection and acquisition of the type of house wanted to go back on the owner's
lot
• Lack of funding available for certain groups of homeowners
• Difficulty and complexity of contracting with a general contractor or manufacturer
• Local government permits
• Resolution of title problems that may prevent the placement of a house on the
owner's lot
- Clouded titles
Mortgages and liens
Encroachments
(b) Owner Elderly
• Making good decisions on the selection of a housing type, general contractor and
financing.
• Qualifying for funding
• State and Federal assistance programs are not tailored to meet the needs of
elderly
• Many seniors owned their property free and clear of any liens and judgements
and are hesitant to add new debt on their property.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 28
b) Renters
(1) Current Situation - Renters
(a) Renter Family
Approximately 300 of the families displaced by the flood were renters. There were four
apartment complexes containing 152 units in Princeville at the time of the flood. All of
these units were destroyed, or seriously damaged by the flood. Based on conversations
with the building owners it is expected that all of the properties will be rebuilt. Fifty-five
of the tenants were renting single family residences, 87 families were renting mobile
homes and eight families were renting duplexes. Based on the survey, 79 of the persons
who identified themselves as tenants stated that they were not planning to move back to
Princeville.
(b) Renter Elderly
Sixty percent of the elderly renters have very low incomes. Forty-four percent of the
renters impacted by the flood were elderly.
(2) Need - Renters
The Town, federal and state governments need to work with the owners of the four
existing complexes to help them rebuild the complexes as soon as possible. The state
and federal governments need to assist the small investment property owners with the
renovation or replacement of their lost units. HUD needs to provide tenants displaced by
the flood with Section 8 rental assistance.
(3) Obstacles - Renters
• Time required by state and federal agencies to renegotiate existing debt and provide
new funding for the four rental developments.
• There are no assistance programs tailored to the needs of small investment property
owners.
s There appears to be an insufficient amount of rental assistance for tenants from
HUD.
• There are no emergency programs in place to help tenants become homeowners.
• Tenants need a good credit history and rental history verification to rent an
apartment. Many of the displaced tenants have poor credit histories that may prevent
them from qualifying for a new apartment or rental unit.
c) Owned by Relative of the Occupant
(1) Current Situation - Owned by Relative of the Occupant
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 29
There were 50 families whose home was owned by a relative pre-flood. Sixty-six
percent of those families were living in single-family homes. Twenty five percent of
the families were living in mobile homes. Of the homes owned by family members
and occupied by a relative, one,home has been reoccupied by the previous
occupant, 18 of these homes have been demolished, seven have been gutted and
are ready to be rebuilt and 12 are in the process of being rebuilt.
(2) Need - Owned by Relative of the Occupant
The families who are not able to move back into a home owned by relatives need
affordable rental housing as soon as possible. They may also need Section 8 Rental
Assistance.
Some families may qualify to purchase a home of their own and can benefit from
affordable financing and other services such as housing counseling and construction
coordination.
(3) Obstacles - Owned by Relative of Occupant
Resources available to this category of owners are very limited because these families
have no legal ownership interest in the property they occupied before the flood.
The owners of the property typically have no federal or state assistance available to
them to replace or repair their house unless the family deeds the property to the
occupant.
These families need to become aware of the housing options available to help them rent
or purchase a home
2. Housing Development Issues
a) Buildable Lots (Zoning and Land Use)
The residential land uses in Princeville are consistent with R-1 Single Family Residential
Zoning which constitutes the primary zoning category. The minimum required lot size
with public water and sewer is 10,000 square feet in the R-1 zone. The required lot
width is 75 feet. Based on the post-flood land use survey there are 331 vacant parcels
totaling 162 acres. The majority of these lots appear to have water and sewer service
and are buildable.
b) Water and Sewer
Based on the review of the utilities map there appears to be sufficient water and sewer
service for the redevelopment of the single family and multi-family zoned areas of town.
All of the subdivided areas of the older part of town and the more recently annexed
Southern Terrace area can be served by water and sewer with minor extensions.
However the development of additional areas of town to accommodate transitional or
permanent housing will require the extension of water and sewer.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 30
c) Title Problems
A most difficult obstacle to overcome in the redevelopment of numerous housing units is
the condition of title in the older areas of town. It is not uncommon to find developable
lots that previously accommodated housing units with liens and judgements. Lots that
have flood damaged housing units may have mortgages that must re-negotiated in order
to utilize funding available from the state to help flood victims renovate or rebuild their
homes. The survey indicates that some persons living in units who assert ownership
are not the owner of record, and it indicates there are a large number of people living in
houses owned by relatives. The survey suggests that there is heir property which can
make it very difficult if not impossible to develop the lots. Land surveys may identify
encroachments.
d) Delivery System
(1) Individual Homeowners
The general population does not have experience with the process required to locate the
needed resources to rebuild their "stick-built" housing unit. This process is complex and
time consuming. The delivery system for new homes must be easy to use and
accessible. The manufactured housing industry has developed a process that allows
individuals to view and select a housing unit quickly. Manufactured homes can be
located on a lot and ready for occupancy in a short period of time. Because of the ease
of acquisition, manufactured housing is going to quickly impact the character of
development of Princeville and its tax base.
(2) Single and Multifamily Housing Developers
Profit and nonprofit developers have been slow to initiate development of new single
family housing due to the lack of knowledge of the market and the inability to easily
access and connect with homebuyers. Profit and nonprofit multifamily developers are
hesitant to risk developing speculative housing without a clear understanding of their
market and the availability of Rental Assistance.
e) Quality Standards for Housing
A permitting process should be established to ensure that quality construction, mobile
home installation and safety issues are addressed. Safety issues include North Carolina
Building Code, local fire codes and flood prevention.
The Princeville community character can be preserved by establishing minimum design
standards for the size of mobile homes, installation, design features,,decks, porches,
roof pitches, foundation materials and age (there should be no pre-1990 mobile homes).
"Stick-built" and modular houses should incorporate some architectural details that are
common to historic older homes in Princeville. The location of new homes on existing
blocks should be consistent with established setbacks for the front and side yards. The
location and design of houses should be consistent with the scale of existing houses on
the street (i.e. use of building siding, number of stories, roof pitches and porches)
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 31
0 Controlling the Character of Housing Development
Easy access to mobile homes has encouraged the extensive utilization of single wide
and double wide mobile homes throughout Princeville. Prior to the flood nearly one-half
of the residential units were "stick-built" units. To create a similar development pattern,
the influx of manufactured homes must be managed. To maintain the character of the
community, new housing should respect and reflect the character and scale of existing
historic buildings.
3. Funding Issues
Despite the variety of funding sources available to victims of Hurricane Floyd, there are
insufficient resources to meet the needs of all of those families displaced by the flood.
• Access to available resources can be difficult. The delivery system is very
cumbersome
• There are families who do not have the opportunity at this time to access any
housing funds available for flood victims because they failed to register with FEMA.
• There are no funds available to replace single family rental units.
• Individual debt ratios and credit histories are impacting access to funding available to
owners to repair or replace their houses.
• The following is a list of available resources.

III. HAZARD MITIGATION
A. Introduction
The Princeville community must deal with risks and hazards, primarily associated with
flooding, that do not confront most other towns and cities. These threats have been
largely addressed through extensive measures such as the construction of the flood
control dike that was built in 1962. Prior to the unprecedented damage from Hurricane
Floyd, these measures have been generally successful at controlling most of the serious
risks and hazards related to storms and flooding. However, even with the substantial
protection of the flood control dike, the community remains at risk from other hazards
such as localized flooding that can be expected to occur relatively frequently.
This chapter details the existing conditions of the Town's environment, the risks and
hazards that threaten the Town, and recommendations that can be employed - often at
a nominal cost - to avoid or minimize damage to property, and threats to public health
and safety. Subsequent chapters of this report will build heavily on the guidelines and
standards described in this chapter.
1. Existing Conditions
In the past few years, since Hurricane Opal in October of 1995, the State of North
Carolina has suffered from five presidentially declared Hurricanes, including Hurricanes
Bertha, Fran, Bonnie and Floyd. Hurricane Floyd, a Category Three hurricane on the
Saffir-Simpson scale, made land fall in North Carolina in September 1999. It has since
proven to be the most destructive storm to ever strike North Carolina.
During Floyd, the waters of the Tar River overtopped the dike and floodwaters covered
the entire Town of Princeville, blocking roads, inundating houses and businesses. The
damage to homes and businesses in Princeville due to Hurricane Floyd was extensive.
The Tar River crested at 43 feet after the Floyd related flooding, 24 feet above flood
stage according to the National Weather Service. Princeville found itself under 10 to 15
feet of water. Nine days after the storm, the water remained at the rooftops of most
houses. Figure 3-1 shows an aerial photo taken September 19, 1999, illustrating the
breadth of the flooding which extended from the Princeville Dike and beyond Shiloh
Farm Road.
In addition to flooding, the Southern Atlantic coast of the United States is continually
subjected to hurricanes and other strong storms and is also near a segment of seismic
faults that are capable of producing damaging earthquakes. This section of the report
will examine the natural and technological hazards that face Princeville. Since these
hazards cannot be prevented, strategies to reduce their impacts and increase the level
of safety in the community will be discussed.
2. Flood Hazard
The Town of Princeville is protected by the Princeville Dike, which was designed by the
US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in the early 1960's., The design was based on
the peak flood elevation from the 1919 flood plus two feet for freeboard (to ensure
complete protection from the 1919 flood levels). The dike's elevation provides an
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 35
estimated 300-year flood protection for the Town. Site review of the dike, discussions
with the USACE and design documentation indicate that locally available materials,
much of which was excavated from land immediately adjacent to the dike was used.
The dike was built on top of a low ridge that runs parallel to the river. The USACE
indicated that even with the extreme flood levels of the recent flood, both the dike and
the soils on which it was built performed well.
Figure 3.2 shows the dike alignment, which starts north and east of Princeville and
continues west until it merges with Highway 64/258. The elevation of the highway
installed by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NC-DOT) serves as
protection to the community until just south of the Town where the dike follows the
Highway. 64 bypass. In total the dike is approximately three miles in length. The dikes
average elevation is 49 feet above sea level or approximately 29 feet above the normal
river levels.
Based on conversations with the USACE and the US Department of Agriculture, Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the borrow pits for the dike make optimum
retention areas for dry side drainage should the area be subjected to a local 100-year
storm. These pits provide sufficient area to retain 845 acre-feet of water. This is the
equivalent of nearly 10 inches of rainfall in the Princeville area over a two-day period.
Inspection of the face of the dike is recommended to ensure there is no seepage to the
river side of the dike.
Figure 3.2 presents the flood hazard and the dike as it currently protects the community.
The Town resides outside of the 100-year floodplain due to the 300-year protection
provided by the dike. Local ponds are the result of ground water entering the pits left by
material excavations. The NRCS is evaluating internal drainage behind the dike. As
mentioned in the Infrastructure discussion, the current drainage for the Town has the
potential to allow some localized flooding and flash flooding.
The USACE is restoring the dike to its pre-flood condition, and is projecting completion
by mid-July 2000. There are six drainage penetrations in the Princeville Dike. Field
inspection found one 60" drainage gate silted open, likely caused by floodwaters
receding through the drainage system and did not impact the protection level of the dike.
The USACE has indicated that the gates will be cleared, inspected and repaired as part
of the dike restoration project. Site visits to a set of drainage gates located on the NC-
DOT portion of the Princeville Dike found one gate silted open, likely as a result of flood
debris transported in receding floodwaters. The second gate had a broken hinge and is
currently not providing full protection. The Town should ensure the Corps is addressing
these repairs.
Internal drainage for the Town is provided by a series of storm drains and open channels
that were installed as the Town developed. The open channels run in front of residential
homes and small pipes provide drainage passage underneath driveways with potential
opportunities for blockage. Vegetation growth and debris due to the flood are seen
extensively within the collector channels. According to the NRCS, the current drainage
system within the Town of Princeville does not provide adequate drainage to protect
homes from local runoff flooding.
Overall, the Town is well protected from most external flooding events. Internally, the
drainage system is not completely interconnected and has obstructions and other
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 36
impediments to flow that could cause flooding during events that are local in nature. The
NRCS is presently preparing designs to improve the internal drainage system, as
described later in this chapter, under "Internal Drainage System."
3. Soils and Wetlands
Consideration of soil, ground water depth and wetlands is important due to the impact in
development plans, habitat preservation and inland drainage retention. The Town has
some areas where the highest water depth is either at the surface or just below grade
possibly precluding development.
Figure 3-3 shows the wetland definition for the Town of Princeville. The existence of
wetlands may preclude or increase the constraints and costs of development. There are
requirements to either replace or mitigate development impacts to wetlands along with
the environmental review and permit requirements. Figure 3-4 and Table 3-1 describe
soil conditions for Princeville.

4. Wind
The size and nature of hurricanes means a storm could still impact the Town while
tracking hundreds of miles away. The region is also subject to winter storms commonly
called NorEasters that can subject the Town to strong winds and difficult winter
conditions.
According to the Edgecombe County Emergency Management Department, tornadoes
are considered a moderate threat to the county. While most tornadoes do not create
large swaths of damage, localized damage can be extreme depending on the strength of
the storm. The ability to accurately predict tornadoes is improving, although 100%
accuracy is still years away. Warnings and watches help communities reduce casualties
from the storms.
5. Response Planning
The Town of Princeville did not have comprehensive emergency response plans for
natural disasters in place when Hurricane Floyd made landfall. County and Town
officials concur there was relatively good contact and data sharing during the event
despite the lack of coordinated cooperative agreement or regular exercises. Typical
emergency responses prior to Floyd consisted of flash flooding due to local storm drain
issues or local drainage backup. There have been a few wildland fires which have been
quickly controlled by the county volunteer fire department.
The Town of Princeville is protected by a county volunteer fire department that consists
of 23 active volunteer members. Five of the members are certified in first response
medical aid and two are currently training for Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)
certification. The Fire Department is well equipped with two fire pumpers, one tanker,
one brush truck, one first responder van and a car. The distribution of the volunteers
has been such that response times have been quick and effective. All fire apparatus
were saved from the rising floodwaters and were used extensively during evacuation
and rescue operations.
Police Service is provided by the Princeville Police Department. The department
currently consists of four officers (three full-time and one part-time) including the Police
Chief. The Town Police did not lose major pieces of equipment in the flood but there
was significant loss of evidence and documentation. Currently the police department is
working out of a small trailer and storing evidence at the County Sheriff Department
facility. The police department has been awarded a grant for upgrading the
department's technological capabilities.
6. Technological Hazards
Technology hazards can be defined as those hazards that are created by human
activities. These hazards can include anything from petroleum processing and
transmission to the storage of flammable or caustic liquids. Hazardous materials are
those materials which pose a danger to the environment or the inhabitants of that
environment when introduced in sufficient quantity. These pose health hazards for first
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 42
responders and the general public either alone or when released by a natural hazard.
For the Town of Princeville, the majority of the technological hazards are related to some
transportation feature. There are only a couple of businesses within the community that
have chemicals that fall within this definition and none store significant quantities of
materials.
Princeville is served by major highways including US Highway 64 and 258, and State
Routes 33 and 111, which all carry extensive truck traffic. In addition, the CSX railroad
maintains active rail lines that define the eastern boundary of the Town.
It is estimated that nearly 15% of large commercial trucks are carrying materials that
could be. hazardous if released during an accident (i.e., flammable, toxic, caustic, etc.).
Additionally, it is estimated that approximately 30-40% of the railroad cars are tankers.
This does not imply that every railroad tanker car contains hazardous materials, but it
does give an indication that there is reasonable potential for hazardous materials
traveling through the Town.
Further discussions with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (highways),
US Department of Transportation (US-DOT) and CSX (operators of the Seaboard Coast
Line) would help the Town gain a clearer understanding of the hazardous materials
traveling through or near the Town limits. According to the Edgecombe County
Emergency Services Action Guidelines, there is a potential for the transportation of
nuclear materials within the county. Whether or not these materials travel near
Princeville has not been established.
7. Earthquake
Earthquakes are not a high threat to the State of North Carolina, Edgecombe County or
the Town of Princeville, but earthquakes have happened historically in the South Atlantic
region. One item of interest is the relatively large earthquake that occurred in
Charleston, South Carolina around 1886. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.2 on
the Richter scale and might have created damaging ground motion in the Town of
Princeville.
The 1997 Building Code Seismic Zone Map of the United States shows that the majority
of Eastern and Central North Carolina are in a low seismic zone. This indicates that the
relative probability of a damaging earthquake is low. The earthquake hazard for North
Carolina is primarily the Charleston and the New Madrid faults, respectively; both have
generated historical earthquakes of greater than magnitude 8 on the Richter scale. This
information is intended to indicate that seismic events should not be ignored.
8. Information Technology
The Town of Princeville maintained the majority of their legal and official documents in
paper format within the Town Hall. When stored in electronic format, data backup tapes
were kept. Unfortunately, due to problems with the backup program, complete data
backups did not exist. 'Data backup problems such as these are not uncommon and
should be kept in mind when future backups are made.
When the floodwaters inundated the Town Hall, all paper documentation was damaged
and nearly all computer records were lost. Currently, the paper records are being dried,
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 43
cleaned and in some cases duplicated. Approximately 90% of the hard copy records
have been recreated or restored. Of the digital files that were lost, those that could be
re-input and recreated are being restored. Currently the Town Manager estimates that
85% of the electronic records have been recreated.
The Town had a computer network and an accounting system that included payroll,
general ledger, utility billing and accounts payable.
9. Mosquito Abatement
Princeville has several natural sources of standing water that can serve as breeding
areas for mosquitoes. County Health Officials recommended that a larvicide program
would make the program more comprehensive. Mosquito spraying was handled under
contract with Edgecombe County, the spraying program concentrated on adult
mosquitoes and utilized ULV heat spraying vehicles.
The State provided some post flood inspections of standing water sites. The State also
inspected for contained water sources critical for the Asian tiger mosquito; however,
forested areas may have debris that will serve as Asian tiger mosquito breading sites.
The State has indicated that fiscal year 1999 - 2000 mosquito abatement funding is no
longer available. Fiscal year 2000 - 2001 starts in July of 2000 and funding should be
available for completed applications.
The State's Health Department has recommended the Town and FEMA should attempt
to have cleanup crews work through the wooded areas to remove containers that can
serve as breeding grounds for the Asian Tiger Mosquito. It is recommended that the
Town work with the County Health Department to develop a comprehensive mosquito
control program including a larvicide and adulticide plan to reduce the mosquito
population.
B. Hazard Mitigation Recommendations
Redevelopment of the Town of Princeville can be made safer with the implementation of
a series of recommendations and strategies to improve the Town's management and
response capabilities, resistance to internal drainage flooding (flooding resulting from
local rain and drainage issues) and survivability from future catastrophic events.
Flood Management
a) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
The community currently participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
and has been a member since the early 80's. Procurement of flood insurance for
individual homeowners and Town facilities provides fiscal protection from all flooding
events that do not receive presidential declarations. Before construction of the dike, the
Town repeatedly flooded: in 1775, 1791, 1800, 1863, 1887, 1908, 1924, 1928, 1940, and
the big flood of 1919, when the water rose to where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad
crosses the Tar. Since the dike was put in place, it is likely that the remaining flood
hazard is actually "dry side" drainage. In other words, there is a higher likelihood of
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 44

homes being flooded from local flow in drainage channels than another catastrophic
flood event.
Only seven Princeville households had flood insurance at the time of the flood (Source:
Raleigh News and Observer, September 1999). However, though the dike effectively
removes the Town from the 100-year floodplain, it does not guarantee 100% protection
from all future events. For this reason, all residents of Princeville are encouraged to
purchase flood insurance. Annual flood insurance premium for a $50,000 residence with
$12,000 contents coverage is $171. The Town should consider discussing additional
premium reductions with FEMA and the Flood Insurance Administration (FIA) due to the
dike's protection.
b) Flood Risk Mapping
Maps are one of the best tools for proactive flood hazard mitigation, preparation for
floods, and recovery from flooding. However, because of the dynamic nature of flood
hazards as well as increasing user demands, the maps must be properly maintained and
updated to fully accomplish their intended purpose. The flood hazard maps for the Town
of Princeville are roughly 20 years old. While FEMA is currently in the process of
producing updated maps through the Hazard Mitigation Technical Assistance Program
(HMTAP), the Town should develop the capability to update the maps on a regular
basis. To accomplish this, a plan for modernizing the maps in Princeville should be
designed in cooperation with County and State agencies. The cornerstone of this activity
should be to use state-of-the-art technology cost-effectively to:
• Develop accurate and complete flood hazard information for the entire County;
provide that information in a readily available, easy to use format;
• Streamline and simplify the mapping process and standards to make them more
user-friendly;
• Increase the role of state, regional, and local entities in the development and
maintenance of flood maps; and
• Alert and educate the public regarding the risks of flood hazards.
c) Zoning
It is recommended that the Town redevelop the area north of Mutual Boulevard, from
Freedom Hill to the Riverside Mobile Home Park, to open space and recreational use.
The land is privately owned and the Town will need to work with the landowners to
obtain the land for Town public use.
There are several benefits achieved with this option. Benefits include:
• The reduction of human activity on and near the dike that could reduce the capability
of protecting the Town (such as All Terrain Vehicles traveling over the dike);
• Retaining the natural resources and functions of floodplains, which leads to
increased drainage retention for Town's internal system;
• An improved fit to the proposed heritage trail when comparing a recreational facility
to a residential trailer park; and
• Park facilities enhance the overall quality of life and can be designed to accept
occasional inundation.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 45
d) Section 205
The US Army Corps of Engineers has started a Section 205 study, also known as a local
flood control study. Typically, the USACE will examine a series of potential flood control
options and develop recommendations based on the benefits received from each option
vs. the cost to implement the modifications to the existing protection. These options are
likely to include:
• No action (remain at existing levels of protection),
• Elevating the dike,
• Extending the dike.
The House version of the FY 2000 emergency supplemental appropriations bill includes
$1.5 million for the USACE to conduct a study of the need for additional flood protection
in Princeville. If enacted, this would allow the USACE to pursue a larger project, not
subject to the $7 million limit under Section 205, but still subject to economic and
environmental justification, as well as cost sharing, generally the same as the cost
sharing provisions under the Section 205 program.
The Town should request the USACE to examine the interface between the Tar River
and the Princeville Dike where the river turns westward near the northeast end of the
dike. Over time and during future high water events the river will put erosion pressure
on the dike, possibly scouring or undercutting. While the dike has performed well during
the recent flooding, simple precautions such as placing riprap or other structural
protection on the face of the dike might prevent future repair or failure.
The Town of Princeville should request that the USACE examine the effectiveness of the
Highway 64 bypass as the southwestern portion of the Princeville Dike. The original
study should have included the proposed development of the highway. It would be
prudent for the USACE to review the highway and the design flood to ensure that the
highway is in fact providing the expected level of protection.
It is recommended that the Town ensure that the USACE present all potential costs to
both the County and the Town when they have completed their study. Currently
documentation from the USACE indicates that engineering, design, construction and real
estate acquisition would be at a 65%/35% cost share. The Town should utilize its
existing relationships with the County and State officials to encourage the USACE to
perform prudent mitigation effort at no cost to the local sponsor.
e) Dike Maintenance
Edgecombe County has assumed responsibility for the maintenance and inspection of
the dike as required by the original USACE agreement. According to the USACE's post
flood inspection and documentation on record, the County has been performing this
function. It is recommended the County continue to maintain the dike as part of their
obligation as the local sponsor.
There is some concern about the maintenance and inspection of the floodgates
associated with the Highway 64 bypass. It is recommended the Town of Princeville and
Edgecombe County work with NC-DOT to have the County assume inspection and
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 46
maintenance of the floodgates as a minimum. When the responsibility for inspection and
maintenance of the floodgates is at the local level, there will be increased confidence in
the overall protection provided by the dike. It may be possible to obtain some funding to
perform these inspections from NC-DOT since there is a cost saving to that agency.
f) Internal Drainage System
The NRCS is designing the internal drainage system to convey runoff from the ten-
year/24-hour storm. Runoff will be sent through the dike at the existing penetration
gates as well as some inflow to the retention wetlands near the dike. These retention
basins are locations where the USACE had borrowed local materials for the creation of
the dike. Upon completion of the design, the NRCS will work with the Town to obtain
"petition maintenance easements" from all the landowners through which the channels
will run. This means that the landowners must sign a petition granting the Town the right
to enter their land and maintain the open channels.
Upon completion of the design and implementation of the drainage system, the NRCS
will require the Town to inspect and report the condition of the drainage system annually.
The Town should arrange contracts for the annual inspections and on-going
maintenance.
It is recommended that the Town receive the final layout and attributes of the system in a
GIS or other machine-readable format that can be used in the maintenance of the
drainage system. For example, the Town can contract with a company to keep the
drainage system clear and the contractor can track their progress and activities in the
Town's GIS system. It is important that the drainage.system receives the proper
maintenance in order to prevent localized flooding.
2. Risk Assessment
FEMA has convened a Hazard Mitigation Technical Assistance Program Team (HMTAP)
to provide the Town of Princeville with accurate flood information and to assist in the
future landuse decisions and mitigation planning. The Team has conducted an initial
site visit for damage assessments and to meet with community officials. Following the
initial site visit, the Team will perform surveys and collect available maps or studies that
portray the following flooding phenomena that occurred during and after Hurricane
Floyd. The data produced shall be in hard copy and electronic format. It is
recommended that the Town incorporate the final report in future landuse and mitigation
planning decisions.
a) Building Standards
(1) Minimum Housing Standards
Discussions with County Building Inspectors indicate a trend for cities to adopt minimum
housing standards. These standards not only provide for the health and welfare of
residents, but improve the ability of the structure to resist natural and technological
hazards. Minimum standards include features such as internal plumbing (including
sanitary facilities), minimum floor standards, and heating units. Currently both the Town
of Tarboro and the City of Rocky Mount have adopted minimum housing standards.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 47
It is recommended that Princeville review the codes of other cities and adopt a minimum
housing standard that must be met and maintained for certificate of occupancy.
There will be a slight increase in code enforcement expenses. This increase is likely to
be less than $100 per inspection due to the current inspection requirement.
(2) Housing Elevation Ordinance
During site visits throughout the Town, it is obvious that the majority of the residential
structures are built with either solid wall crawlspaces or elevated on piers spaced
throughout the underside of the structure. The "stick built" homes (those that are either
woodframe or brick construction) are typically built on crawlspaces. The elevation of the
crawlspace seems to have been increased over time with the older homes averaging
approximately two feet above grade and newer homes approaching three feet. Mobile
homes are typically installed on concrete block piers that are also typically three feet
above grade.
This construction practice seems to be historical in nature. If the structure is elevated,
current code requires 16 inches without ductwork and 24 inches with ductwork. Code
requires enclosures if the structure is elevated. Discussions with the NRCS indicate that
historic "high water" for internal drainage systems has been close to two feet. It is
therefore recommended that the Town of Princeville adopt an ordinance requiring all
structures to be elevated a minimum of three feet (historic internal flood elevation plus
one foot). This elevation level can be modified to support the results of the NRCS study
that will be completed in September 2000.
This ordinance should apply to all facilities such as mobile homes, multi-family dwellings
(condominiums and apartments), and new commercial buildings. Note: For buildings
that are on the historic register or are considered historic for the community, discussions
with the State and Local Historical Societies should take place prior to considering
elevation of the structure. Other States have experienced cases where modifications of
this type have made the structures ineligible for historic designation.
For structures that cannot be elevated, other options include floodproofing the lowest
floor or creating a berm surrounding the facility. The berm could have entrances
designed for easy sandbagging to protect the structure. The berm should be seeded
with grass for stability. Finally, variances can be granted although this should be used
only where historic significance is impacted or the benefits do not exceed the expected
costs.
As with the structures themselves, it is highly recommended that some equipment
associated with the structure also receive elevation treatments. Specifically, it is
recommended that air conditioning condenser units be elevated four feet above grade
thereby reducing the potential for damage from inundation. As with coastal communities
within the state, this can be accomplished by creating a sturdy wood platform and
placing the unit on the platform. It is recommended that the platform be firmly anchored
to the ground (either through deep-set posts, bolting to concrete slabs or concrete
footings) and the air unit strapped to the platform.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 48
(3) Foundation Bracing
While seismic events are not highly likely, wind loading becomes a predominant force
that can be mitigated through foundation bracing of some type. For typical residential
crawlspace construction, this would require bolting the home to the crawlspace. This
requirement is similar to the 110 mile-per-hour wind loading design standards and
provides the added benefit of preventing homes from floating off foundations in severe
flooding. It is recommended that the Town of Princeville adopt an ordinance requiring
single-family homes on crawlspaces bolt their homes to the foundation.
b) Liquid Propane
One form of damage that was seen extensively throughout North Carolina was LP gas
tanks floating in flood waters increasing the potential for feed line separation and fires. It
is recommended that the Town of Princeville enact an ordinance that would require
bolting or strapping of the LP tanks to a concrete slab reducing the chances of the tank
drifting from the home during future flooding events. Kits are commercially available for
the two major varieties of tanks utilized in the county.
It is recommended that LP connections to the tank and the home be made with flexible
connectors similar to those used for natural gas lines in the seismic states. This flexible
connection would allow the tank to move, either due to seismic loads or because of
floating in flood waters, without rupturing the line and the resultant increased potential for
contamination, fire or explosion.
c) Gas Water Heaters
It is recommended that the Town of Princeville request materials from FEMA for
strapping of gas water heaters. This simple low cost effort will reduce the potential for
water heater collapse in the event of earthquake or displacement of the water heater in a
flood situation. This will prevent the possibility of rupturing the gas line and the resultant
increase in potential fires. This effort is only valid for gas water heaters.
3. Public Education
Flood hazard information is vital if informed floodplain management decisions are to be
made by officials, professional staff, and affected individuals. It is important that all
stakeholders understand the nature of the flood risk in terms of flood levels, hazards,
and impacts in a specific area. FEMA and Princeville should provide educational
materials to residents explaining and encouraging procurement of flood insurance.
In addition to flood insurance, ongoing public education programs should be conducted
to increase public awareness in the following:
• Potential hazards of the Town;
• Family preparedness;
• Shelter locations;
• Flood-prone areas;
• Evacuation routes;
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 49
• Necessary action to be taken by the public; and
• Emergency Management function.
The Town should work with FEMA to educate insurance brokers and agents on the flood
program's policies and pricing structure.
4. Information Technology
a) Record Storage
It is recommended that the Town establish a process and procedure for offsite records
storage site for important Town documents. This program would include duplicating
Town records and transporting the duplicates on a regular basis to an offsite storage
location.
For hardcopy (paper) documentation, the first option is to make a duplicate copy of all
documents and have a storage facility in either Tarboro or Rocky Mount. Examples of
the documentation to be stored are all legal contracts and binding documentation, police
reports and records, monthly billing statements and account records, payroll records,
etc.
For hardcopy (paper) documentation, the second option is to purchase a records
management software package. This software assists in organizing files improving
customer service, decreases operational costs and tracks vital information. Several
software vendors exist and the Town should explore the options. Smeadlink is one
example of a software company that provides this software.
With this option the Town would regularly catalogue documents in the system, scan
them (image them) and then store the information on media that would be stored offsite.
In the event of lost records, the Town would retrieve the information and quickly return to
service. Documents and recovered in this format are considered legal replacement
documents although some investigation would need to be done to see if police reports
and evidence recovered with this process would be admissible in court.
b) GIS System
It is recommended that the Town coordinate with government agencies and the existing
GIS system to support the tracking of dike and drainage system maintenance, road
maintenance, mapping of flood risks and the evolvement of comprehensive development
plans. There are significant data available to the County including parcel maps, digital
orthophotographs (photographs registered to real-world coordinates), street addresses
and postal addresses. It should be possible to capture the dike alignment from the
USACE and the drainage system being implemented by NRCS, from which the Town
can track maintenance contractors for road maintenance and drainage channels.
Maintenance and trouble locations can also be managed as water and waste water
systems are added. GIS files associated with this report will be available through FEMA,
Region IV.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 50
5. Future Response and Recovery Management
a) Emergency Services Director
It is recommended that the Town of Princeville establish the position of Emergency
Services Director. This position could be an additional responsibility for the Chief of
Police or another Town staff person depending on current workload. Functional
responsibilities include developing a coordinated response and recovery program for the
Town, identifying equipment and training necessary to ensure readiness, developing and
coordinating response exercises, and point of contact for Edgecombe County
Emergency Services. For example, this would include developing procedures for
emergency communication between the Town leaders (Mayor, Town Manager), Town
first responders (volunteer fire, police) and the county emergency services to assist the
local decision making process.
The majority of responses will not require additional resources from the County
(excluding the volunteer fire department). These responses include home fires, medical
assistance, local drainage issues, etc. On those occasions that the Town's resources
are exceeded, having single point coordination with the county would improve the
responsiveness to the residents. It is recommended that the emergency services
director report to the County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) when activated and
coordinate operations from the EOC.
b) Operational Plans
It is recommended that the Town work with the Edgecombe County Emergency Services
Manager to develop operational plans for the Town. North Carolina General Statutes
166A-2 state that it is the responsibility of County or Town government to organize and
plan for the protection of life and property from the effects of hazardous technological or
natural disasters. The success of such planning depends largely on the degree to which
individuals and local governments protect themselves by taking appropriate hazard
mitigation measures to reduce their exposure to risk.
The plans would include annexes for wildfire, local flooding, earthquake, strong wind and
storm (both summer and winter), damage assessment and debris management and
procedures for hazard warning, including flood-forecasting systems. Flood warnings can
be issued and emergency protective measures undertaken by individuals and the
community.
The Town needs to identify the processes they will use to access other emergency
resources. The plans would clearly identify the interface between the municipality and
the county during emergency operations. The plans should identify training
requirements for specific staff and elected officials and equipment necessary to protect
first responders and the general public.
c) Emergency Management Drills
Upon completion of the emergency management plans identified above, it is
recommended that the Town of Princeville institute annual emergency management
exercises or drills. These annual emergency drills should be either tabletop studies or
full response exercises. It is also recommended that the exercise vary between local
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 51
events (e.g., light aircraft crash), to large-scale county events (such as a major winter
storm) to evaluate all functions, response times, plans, and communications. The
Edgecombe County Emergency Services Department is willing to assist in creating and
participating in exercises as part of their functional responsibilities.
d) Emergency Operations Center
While the Town is developing a new Town Hall, it is recommended that the Town
establish a conference room as a small emergency operations center. This EOC would
be utilized when the Town is preparing for a disaster (hurricane alert, during large fire
events within the Town, etc.). This site would also be an ideal site for training exercises.
The center should have:
• Additional electrical outlets to provide power for computers and other electronic
devices.
• Additional phone jacks for providing phones for all Town staff. Discussions with the
phone company should take place to ensure service in disaster events. A direct line
to the Emergency Services Manager at the County EOC if activated prior to an
event.
• Data ports to allow for computer data transfer. A direct data link should be
established to the County EOC.
• A base station for police and fire transmissions.
• Storage room for computers and equipment when not in use
• Additional tables and chairs as required
• A microwave and refrigerator.
e) Hazardous Material Equipment
Based on discussion with the Princeville Volunteer Fire Department, the Town should
work with Edgecombe County Emergency Services to identify if additional equipment is
necessary to support first response to a hazardous materials (radiological, biological, or
chemical) spill either on the local highways or nearby railway.
An example of hazardous material equipment is self-contained breathing apparatus that
can protect first responders from potentially harmful fumes. Training in response to
hazardous materials spills would allow first responders to recognize harmful materials
and affect an appropriate initial response to protect the general public and first
responders until the County's HazMat team arrives.
f) Swift-Water Rescue Training
It is recommended that the County volunteer fire department obtain swift-water rescue
training and procure minimal equipment for use in such rescues. This recommendation
is based on the potential for swift water rescues within the Tar River. Should the Town
of Princeville install a boat ramp in conjunction with the Heritage trail plans, the
possibility of swift water rescue increases. Additionally, while the dike provides
significant protection for the Town, floodwaters on the wet side of the dike can always
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 52
become a hazard for the general public and the capabilities to affect a rescue can
greatly increase the person's chance for survival.
g) Fire Hydrants
Discussions with the contractors who are currently reviewing the water and waste water
systems have identified that a portion of the fire system (particularly in Southern
Terrace) have a mixture of both right threaded and left threaded fire plugs. The direction
of the threads are indicative of the direction the fire fighter would have turn to start the
flow of water. This means delays are possible while the fire crew determines if they
have a right threaded or left threaded plug.
Envirolink is capturing the locations of the fireplugs and whether or not they are right
threaded or left threaded. Depending on which is most common it is recommended that
the Town select a singular direction of threading (either right threaded or left threaded)
and replace those plugs that do not conform.
It is recommended that blue rectangular reflectors be installed in the streets to indicate
the locations of fireplugs to fire crews. The typical installation is to identify the
intersection of a perpendicular line from the plug to the street centerline and placing the
reflector at that point. Many municipalities have adopted this system of location.
h) Fire Abatement
It is recommended that the Town adopt an ordinance that requires fire abatement
around all planned development. This recommendation is founded on experience
learned by several municipalities where the urban wildland interface resulted in fires that
devastated hundreds of homes and caused millions in property damage. Firebreaks
would be required at any location where a wetland or forested area abuts against
developed parcels. It should be noted that individual homeowners are allowed to create
and maintain their landscape, as they desire. Public education should encourage
residents who live near an urban wildland interface to keep vegetation away from the
structures.
i) Implement 911 System
Discussions with County officials indicated that the Town of Princeville and many other
cities were being added to the enhanced 911 system prior to the flood. This enhanced
system would allow the dispatchers to not only identify the phone number of the caller
(basic 911) but also identifies the address of the caller.
The flood may have caused address changes that would impact the matching database
at the County. It is recommended that the Town Emergency Services Director, Police,
or Fire Department work with the County MIS department to audit the database.
Additionally, the flood has either removed or prevented the installation of street signage
that has the block numbering system utilized by the enhanced 911-dispatch system. It is
recommended that the signs be obtained and installed in support of the first responders.

May 22, 2000 Page 53
C. Conclusion
As Princeville rebuilds from the devastation of Hurricane Floyd, the aggressive use of
hazard mitigation to meet known risks.and threats should become a key element of the
community's redevelopment standards. Some of the key recommendations described in
this chapter are summarized as follows:
1. Flood Management
• Flood Insurance: Relatively inexpensive flood insurance is available to Princeville
Residents under NFIP. The program should be widely advertised, and participation
actively encouraged.
• Flood Hazard Mapping: Flood Hazard Maps provide important planning and land
development information, and existing maps are being updated to reflect current
conditions. Updated maps should be incorporated into the Town's planning process
as they become available.
• Zoning: Long-term land use planning should provide for extensive development of
wetlands and retention basins as integral parts of the Town's storm water
management plan. A specific goal should be to eventually develop all or most of the
land between Mutual Boulevard and the Dike, from Freedom Hill to the current
Riverside Trailer Park, to recreation, open space, and storm water storage.
2. Building Standards
• Minimum Housing Standards and Housing Elevation Ordnance: Redevelopment of
Princeville's housing provides an opportunity to implement housing standards that
will ensure the health, safety and welfare of the Town's residents. Standards should
include minimum three foot elevation above grade, to provide added protection from
localized storm flooding.
• Strapping Gas/LP Tanks: This simple technique is a highly effective method to
minimize the hazards of fuel tanks set adrift in flood waters.
3. Public Education
• An aggressive program should be implemented to provide sustained public
education on the risks and hazards that confront the community, and the hazard
mitigation programs that are available to minimize them.
4. Information Technology
• Record Storage: A process and procedure should be implemented to routinely
duplicate and store critical pubic records and documents, in both electronic and hard
copy formats, at a remote site that is not subject to know risks and hazards
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 54
5. Future Response and Recovery Management
• Emergency Services Director: The position of Emergency Services Director should
be established.
• Operational Plans: Disaster contingency plans should be developed in cooperation
with the county and adjacent municipalities.

IV. EXISTING CONDITIONS
A. Overview
This chapter provides a discussion of the existing conditions for Princeville that will
provide the basis for planning options described later in the report.
A brief statistical discussion of the population and its characteristics before the flood is
provided, followed by an economic overview of Princeville. The pre-flood conditions
and existing conditions for each of the following planning elements is described:
• The built environment including land use, zoning, and historical structures.
• Municipal buildings.
• Infrastructure (water, wastewater, drainage and streets).
• Parks, recreation, and streetscaping.
1. Population and Demographics
To begin to understand the socioeconomic conditions, census data was collected and
reviewed. According to the US Census, the 1990 Princeville population was 2167. This
is based on 1.03 square miles (659.2 acres for "old" Princeville and 240.7 acres for
Southern Terrace, estimated at 515 persons). The State Demographer performed a due
diligence estimate in 1998 that was based on the US Census of 1990 and includes the
1995 annexation of the Southern Terrace neighborhood. Table 4-1 shows the
population trend for the last 20 years. Table 4-2 shows demographic data collected by
the 1990 Census within the 1990 city limits (not including Southern Terrace).

B. Economic Overview
The following sections give a brief description of the economic and business conditions
in Princeville prior to the flood, then look at the economy of the surrounding region.
1. Overview of Local Economy
Prior to the flood of September 1999, the Town of Princeville, North Carolina was often
described as a "bedroom community." The 1997 Draft Strategic Plan prepared by the
North Carolina Institute of Minority Economic Development (the Institute) stated that
"Since the Town has no significant employers and a limited economic base, the reality is
that Princeville will be a residential community. The residents will commute from Town
for employment elsewhere in the County." -
Businesses located in Princeville before the 1999 flood were exclusively small
enterprises, a number of them operating out of residents' homes. A 1997 Survey of
Businesses done for the Institute listed 31 businesses in the Town. The largest
employer was the Checker Cab Company, with 15 employees, and only six enterprises
were listed as having more than 5 employees. Table 4-2 is a representation of the
businesses.

Princeville has a limited capacity for commercial or industrial growth within the existing
Town Limits because there are few suitable parcels of vacant land large enough to
accommodate a medium or large-scale enterprise. The Institute's 1997 Draft Strategic
Plan found that the Town also faced limited prospects for near-term economic growth in
its extraterritorial area, and concluded that construction of warehouses or
commercial/retail facilities in this area was unlikely due to the lack of sewer and water.
The Institute's 1997 report also noted that a major grocery store and truck stop in the
ETJ were closed at that time, and cited Princeville's high property tax rate as a further
impediment to growth.
2. Overview of Regional Economy and Trends
Princeville is part of the Rocky Mount Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which
comprises all of Edgecombe and Nash Counties. Within the Rocky Mount MSA, the
general trend during the 1990s has been that the City of Rocky Mount and Nash County
have been gaining population, while Edgecombe County and the Tarboro area have
been losing population. For example, the population of Edgecombe County declined
from 56,558 in 1990 to 54,702 in 1998, while the Town of Tarboro's population dropped
from 11,037 to 10,713 during the same period. At the same time, the City of Rocky
Mount's population increased from 48,997 in 1990 to 57,837 in 1998, and Nash County's
population grew from 76,677 to 88,112 in the same period.
Edgecombe County trails both Nash County and North Carolina as a whole in per capita
income. In 1997, Edgecombe County's per capita income was $17,961, compared to
$21,612 in Nash County and a $23,174 average for the state of North Carolina.
Edgecombe County also has the highest unemployment rate in the MSA. The average
annual unemployment rate in 1999 was 7.6% in Edgecombe County,, compared with a
rate of 6.0% for the Rocky Mount MSA as a whole, 5.0%. for Nash County, a national
average of 4.5%, and a statewide average of only 3.1 %.
The Carolinas Gateway Partnership is a Public-Private partnership whose membership
includes all of the county and municipal governments and most of the private sector
businesses in Nash and Edgecombe Counties. The Partnership has responsibility for
promoting economic development in, and specifically for attracting business to, the two
counties. The Carolinas Gateway Partnership estimates that in February 2000,
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 61
Edgecombe County had a total labor force of 24,200, of whom 22,340 were employed,
and 1,860 unemployed, reflecting a February unemployment rate of 7.7%. The State
Employment Security Commission reported that the Edgecombe County unemployment
rate fell to 6.9% in April 2000.
Manufacturing is the largest employment sector in Edgecombe County, accounting for
29% of the employed labor force. Government is the second largest employer with an
18% share, followed by Services at 16%, Retail Trade at 12%, Transportation & Utilities
at 9%, Construction at 8%, and Wholesale Trade at 4%. Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries employ only 2% of the County labor force.
Despite the closure of a number of factories in the 1990s, particularly in the textile
industry, the Rocky Mount MSA has had a net gain of several hundred manufacturing
jobs over the past 6 years. The Carolinas Gateway Partnership lists nearly 4,400 new
jobs created during this period through new industry locations and existing industry
expansions, against about 3,700 jobs lost through business closings and downsizing.
Edgecombe County will gain nearly 1,400 new jobs from two major developments. Sara
Lee Bakery is in the process of an expansion which, when completed, will have added
approximately 600 jobs to its Tarboro Bakery, bringing total employment at this facility to
about 1,300. In July 2000, QVC, Inc. will open a major warehouse and distribution
center at the Kingsboro Interchange of U.S. 64, about halfway between Rocky Mount
and Princeville, which will employ 800 people full-time. EDA funds were used to bring
water and sewer to this site.
The Upper Coastal Plain Council of Governments (COG), which includes Edgecombe,
Nash, Wilson, Northampton and Halifax Counties, has been designated as the Economic
Development District by the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA).
Edgecombe County is a distressed county by state and Federal standards, with a
poverty rate of 21 % compared to a state figure of 13%.
In the March 1999 EDA Area Distress chart, Edgecombe County was one of 13 North
Carolina counties designated by the state as Tier 1 (most distressed) counties, with an
average per capita income of $17,510 (compared with $24,436 nationally), and an
average 24 month unemployment rate of 9.5% (compared with 4.7% nationally). The
COG's 1995 Census estimates show that 22.6% of the Edgecombe County population
lives in poverty, and that 31.5% of children under the age of 18 live in poverty.
Edgecombe County therefore clearly meets the eligibility standards for many of EDA's
programs.

C. The Built Environment
1. Land Use
This historic settlement is primarily residential with scattered commercial uses, municipal
buildings, and a number of churches and private organizations. These uses are shown
on the Figure 4-1 Pre-flood Land Use Map. It covers approximately 1.4 square miles
(395 acres) including the Southern Terrace neighborhood. As described above, before
the flood there were over thirty commercial establishments, many of which were located
at or in the homes of the owners/operators. These included beauty salons, palm
reading, and auto repair establishments.
Princeville consists of two major areas: "old" Princeville is the original community and
Southern Terrace is a large residential development that was annexed in 1995. Old
Princeville is platted in lots of various depths, typically in the range of 200 feet. Lot
widths are usually only 25 feet. It is typical for single lots to be assembled into parcels of
two to five lots resulting in a frontage of 50 to 125 feet. The large lot assemblage
practice in old Princeville demonstrates a long-term and continuous ownership of the
land and commitment to community. Many parcels and some houses have been in
continuous family ownership since the community was established.
The streets of old Princeville are laid out in a grid pattern bordered by Mutual Boulevard
and Main Street. The grid pattern is frequently interrupted near the southern and
eastern edges of the community where the roadways have never been completed.
Some cross streets, while they are platted and shown on local maps, are not completed.
The large, borderless lots and unfinished roadways are confusing to the non-resident.
The benefit of this practice, however, is that native oak and pine woods have been
conserved throughout the community.
Greenwood Boulevard branches southward off Mutual Boulevard and is the route from
Old Princeville to Southern Terrace. Southern Terrace was designed on a more modern
pattern, with long winding roads and cul-de-sacs. The only access to the neighborhood
is at Strickland Road and Greenwood Boulevard. These lots are typically in the range of
100 feet wide and 200 feet deep, although a number of variations occur throughout the
neighborhood. There are no mature woods within the neighborhood, but all of the area's
edges are wooded and many homes are landscaped. The southern portion of the
neighborhood primarily consists of mobile homes.
Old Princeville is the location of the K - 3 Montessori school,::most of the commercial
establishments, nine churches, the municipal buildings aft, of the multi family
housing. One 48-space mobile home park, three subsidized housing complexes (122
units), and one retirement complex (30 units) are also located in this part of the city.
2. Zoning
The current zoning map shows that most areas in the city are zoned for various types of
residential uses. A small area of commercial zoning is located south of the bridge to
Tarboro, and there are scattered commercial zones applied to specific lots along Main
Street and Greenwood Boulevard. A large number of home-based businesses are
permitted in residential zones and many are present throughout the city.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 63
The zoning regulations for Princeville are contained in Land Usage Chapter 150 Zoning
which includes the following five zoning designations. Figure 4-2 shows where the
zoning districts are in effect.
• Residential I District (R-1) is for single-family and two-family dwellings, churches,
farming, truck gardening, and nurseries. It also allows a number of home
occupations (with some limitations), lodging and boarding (with some limitations),
recreation facilities, public utilities, rest homes, and schools. Some exceptions
are permitted.
• Residential II District (R-2) permits all uses in Residential I and mobile homes.
• Residential III District (R-3) permits single family and duplexes, apartments, and
mobile home parks.
• Commercial District (C) permits retail trades which are located near residential
areas and which cater to the everyday needs of a residential neighborhood.
• Industrial District (1) permits "clean and quiet" industries that can be operated
near residential or commercial land with some restrictions and some exceptions.

3. Historic Buildings and Historical Area
a) Historic Buildings and Historic Area
(1) Existing Conditions
Princeville, North Carolina has a unique place in American history because of the
circumstances under which it was settled in 1865, and because of the determination
displayed by its citizens in the face of repeated hardship. This small town in eastern
North Carolina was the first town in the United States chartered by freed-slaves. Hence,
the community itself is an historic achievement.
Princeville is located within the highly traveled historical east coast around Interstate 95,
and would complement numerous heritage tourism sites dedicated to other dimensions
of American history.
Efforts to preserve some of Princeville's historic buildings and to develop the
community's heritage tourism potential began before Hurricane Floyd. An initiative was
already underway to create an historic district encompassing a large number of the older
structures in town, and steps had been taken to nominate the former Princeville School
(Old Town Hall) and the community cemeteries to the National Register of Historic
Places. Working under a grant from the National Park Service, the community had
recognized the need for a heritage walking tour, and had taken steps to develop
conceptual plans for its implementation. Figure 4.3 shows a potential historic area
delineated by the Town.
(2) General Observation on Potentially Historic Properties
(a) Structures
Most of the buildings included in this preliminary survey appear to date from the late 19th
to the early 20th century and are single story wood framing on masonry foundations, over
a dirt floored crawlspace. They are typically constructed of light wood framing, enclosed
with wood lapped siding, mostly without sheathing.
Several distinctive massing and plan types are in evidence, suggesting that the
community has been influenced from several different directions in its choice of building
forms. Central or internal chimney massing with back-to-back fireplaces is
characteristically associated with the energy conscious building practices in New
England, with many examples found in Princeville. These contrast with dwellings that
have chimneys located at the opposing endwalls, characteristically found in the southern
states where winter heat loss is secondary to issues of cooling the dwelling in summer
months. These differences in form reflect a range of influences and offer insights into the
intentions and preferences of the people who built the town.
Typically, residential structures included in this survey have relatively low sloped roofs,
finished with metal roofing. This roofing feature unifies an otherwise diverse collection of
building types and was a factor in how buildings were selected for inclusion in this
survey. (The metal roofing is presumed to have been added around 1900, when
insurance companies across the nation had suffered great losses due to fires set by
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 67
chimney sparks falling on wood shingled roofs. Insurance companies offered incentives
to their policyholders to cover wood shingle roofs with metal, further setting it as a
condition for continued insurance coverage). Windows are typically double hung with 6/6
sash, without shutters. Front porches are common, often fully across the street fagade.
Many structures in Princeville appear to have originated as two or three room dwellings,
with subsequent additions made to expand the living quarters. These additions are
frequently not visible from the street, and some houses that present small street facades
are, in fact, quite large. Many of the additions appear to have originated as separate
freestanding buildings, relocated and appended to these core buildings. These additions
were likely created to permit extended families to live together under a single roof, and
constitute insight to the social and familial dynamics of the community.
A number of early to mid-20th century houses constructed of concrete, masonry units
were also noted. These are clustered along Mutual Boulevard at the intersection with
Greenwood Boulevard and along Neville, and represent a progression in their
construction detailing. Several along Mutual Boulevard are constructed with a concrete
masonry unit perimeter, but are otherwise framed with wood joists, stud partitions and
trussed roofs. Others, particularly around the corner of Neville, were presumed to have
been constructed later, are entirely of concrete masonry units for perimeter and interior
partition construction, built on concrete slab floors. This was likely done to avoid the
problems with wood construction in a wet environment. Also, a number of these
buildings retain metal roofs that appear to be of the early period, raising the question
whether they constitute an economical recycling of building materials, or whether in fact
these buildings may have been from an earlier period. (Concrete masonry units have
been widely available for most of the 20th century.)
(b) Other
Princeville has a community cemetery area located on the eastern border of town, which
actually consists of four adjacent cemeteries. Although the oldest death dates are from
the 1880s, it is thought slaves may also have been buried here. The gravestones of
several early town leaders still exist. The cemeteries remain in use today.
Up until the 1950s the Town used a site along the Tar River for baptisms. Although it is'
no longer used as such today, town elders still recognize the traditional significance of
this area. The site may qualify as a Traditional Cultural Property and is located near
Powell Park.
(3) Formal Historic Resources Survey
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, as implemented in 36 CFR Part
800, mandates federal agencies to consider historic properties in their undertakings.
Accordingly, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has initiated a formal survey
and evaluation of the remaining buildings within Princeville. Each structure will be
evaluated pursuant to the criteria which establish eligibility for listing in the National
Register of Historic Places, as set forth in 36 CFR Part 60. The survey also will
determine if the buildings are beyond repair. Results of this effort will enable the Town
and funding agencies to make better informed decisions concerning the remaining
historic buildings.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 68
Approximately 30 properties that are of potential historical or architectural interest to a
heritage tourism initiative have been identified. Some of the properties make up the
potential historic area delineated by the Town, and include the Old Town Hall/Princeville
School, Mt. Zion Primitive Baptist Church, and several residential buildings. These
properties were selected because they appear to date from the period around 1900, and
are scattered on an east-west axis along Mutual Boulevard, and north-south along Main
Street and Church Street. These two axes meet at Freedom Hill. In aggregate, the
similarity of architectural detailing and scale of these buildings suggests a sense of
community and cohesiveness.
The State Historic Preservation Office conducted a preliminary review of the cemeteries
in 1997. Although no formal determination resulted, further evaluation was
recommended to establish National Register eligibility.

4. Municipal Buildings
a) Town Hall
Prior to the flood, the Princeville Town Hall occupied the old Princeville schoolhouse.
The original schoolhouse structure was modified with interior partitions and building
additions to provide space for municipal offices, the Boys and Girls Club, and Town
maintenance/public works. The Town of Princeville is proposing to develop a new Town
Hall and restore the original schoolhouse. The Princeville School/Town Hall is believed
to have been built circa 1925 as a product of the Rosenwald campaign to assist
construction of public schools for African Americans. The North Carolina State Historic
Preservation Office has stated in their survey that the former school/Town Hall remains
eligible for the Register and recommends that the nomination be completed once the
expected restoration project is under way. The Town has proposed the restored building
serve as a museum of African-American Historical Firsts.
The site recommended by the Town for the future municipal area is located on Main
Street between Dancy Street and Mutual Boulevard. This area has symbolic
significance, as it is near the location of the original Town Hall. The historically
significant Mt. Zion Primitive Baptist Church is located east of the site on Church street
and the soon to be rebuilt Prince Court senior housing development is located to the
southeast on Church St. and Dancy St. The present opportunity is to create a new Town
Hall that not only enhances the surrounding areas but also establishes a new municipal
center.
b) Turner Prince Community Center (Senior Center)
The Turner Prince Community Center (senior center) consisted of a 24'x 60' mobile
home that was located on Main St. adjacent to the Prince Court Senior Housing
development. The facility was used as a senior center by the residents of Prince Court.
c) Recreation Center (Boys and Girls Club)
The Boys and Girls Club was located in the existing Town Hall along with the town is
municipal offices and the department of Public Works. The Boys and Girls Club occupied
approximately 1,070 sq. ft. of space in the existing Town Hall.
d) Fire Station
The Princeville Volunteer Fire Department is located east of the Old Town Hall on the
northeast corner of Mutual Park. The Fire Station is approximately 4,000 sq. ft. with
three bays and a. room that was used for offices and training.
e) Police Station
Prior to the flood, the Princeville police station was located in the existing volunteer fire
station east of the old Town Hall.
0 Housing Complexes
Three public housing projects are under the responsibility of the Princeville Housing
Authority. These are Prince Court, a 30-unit complex that was primarily occupied by
senior citizens; Pioneer Court with 50 rental units, and Glen Bridge with 24 rental units.

5. Infrastructure
a) Existing Roads
The existing system of roads consists of State Highways, maintained by North Carolina
Department of Transportation and Town Roads, maintained by Princeville. The
information presented is based on parcel maps provided by Edgecombe County, maps
. from the North Carolina Department of Transportation and physical observations. For a
map of the existing roads refer to Figure 4-4 Existing Roads.
b) Water
The Town of Tarboro has a 6MGD water treatment plant with two service contracts to
provide water supply to Legett and Princeville, respectively. The contract agrees to
provide 250,000 gallons a day of treated water for Princeville. The Tarboro water
treatment plant is currently operating at 80% of capacity. If water usage increases
above 80% of capacity, Tarboro is required to have a plant expansion design on file with
the state of North Carolina.
The water service contract provides a point source of water from Tarboro and the Town
of Princeville is responsible for the construction, operation and maintenance of the
distribution system within the Town. The water distribution system serves residential
homes and provides fire protection for the Town. Figure 4-5 is a map of the existing
distribution system.
In addition to the public water system, many of the homes are on private wells. There is
no public record of all the wells or their locations within the Town. Wells constructed
prior to 1986 may not be constructed according to current well drilling practice. It is
recommended that the Town implement an ordinance to connect all homes and
businesses within the Town limits to the public water supply.
c) Wastewater System
The wastewater in Princeville is collected through nine lift stations, approximately 57,000
feet of gravity sewer mains, and 232 manholes. The sewage is discharged through an
8-inch force main that runs North along Highway 33 on the bridge over the Tar River and
ties into a manhole in the Town of Tarboro. Tarboro maintains the distribution system
after the manhole for final collection and treatment. For a map of the existing distribution
system refer to Figure 4-6 Existing Wastewater System.
Prior to the flood, funding was not available to make needed repairs to the wastewater
system. A grant from HUD/CDBG for $1,150,000 is currently in place and includes the
design and construction of eight lift stations and removes one lift station from service in
Southern Terrace. The design of the lift stations will meet all current codes and
regulations. The design is scheduled to be completed in May 2000.
In addition to the public wastewater collection system, there are a number of septic
systems throughout the Town of Princeville. There are no public records for all of the
septic systems. Septic systems built prior to 1986 are generally believed to be not
constructed consistent with current design practices. ,

d) Drainage Systems
The United States Department of Agriculture (NRCS) is working to resolve emergency
drainage problems in the Town of Princeville. The immediate focus is to clear existing
drainage channels of debris deposited by the flood to restore drainage capacity to the
Town.
The NRCS is evaluating the internal drainage system from behind the dike. NRCS will
develop and present a conceptual drainage design for the Town by June 1. Design
efforts will follow after the initial study is complete. The anticipated design completion
date is September 2000.
The NRCS is designing the drainage system to provide adequate flow for a ten-year, 24
hour storm. A 10-year storm has a 10% chance of occurrence annually. There will still
be a requirement for continued maintenance of the internal drainage system. Debris and
vegetation in the storm system will increase the opportunity for flooding within Town
limits.
6. Parks, Recreation and Streetscaping
Princeville generally has a lush green landscape of trees, pines, and native and
ornamental shrubs. Public recreation facilities before the flood consisted of Mutual Park,
Powell Park, and the Princeville Montessori grade school playground. Some of the
apartment complexes also had small playgrounds and basketball courts for their
residents.
a) Parks and Recreation
Mutual Park is located on the south side of Mutual Boulevard, adjacent to the old Town
Hall. Current park facilities include restrooms, a parking lot, a tennis court, basketball
courts, picnic shelter, some basic playground equipment, and open play space. Powell
Park is located at the northeast corner of the Tar River Bridge, near the entry to
Princeville. It is an open green space with lights, but no developed amenities. The
Princeville Montessori K-3 grade school playground had a large open playfield, baseball
diamond, basketball courts, and playground equipment before the flood, but the new
school construction removed everything.
b) Streetscape
Sidewalks line some of the streets such as Mutual Boulevard and Main Street, and
streetlights exist in some locations and neighborhoods.
There was no streetscape plan or overall plan for street furniture in Princeville prior to
the flood.
c) Heritage Trail
Prior to the flood the National Park Service (NPS) sponsored the design of the Heritage
Trail. The NPS Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance design team met with the
Town of Princeville three times and developed a concept for the Princeville Heritage
Trail. The project proposed a combination walking, biking and driving trail around
Princeville that would connect the town's historical, cultural, and recreational resources.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 76
The project's concept design provided for improvements to Powell Park, the cemeteries,
Freedom Hill, and Main Street, as well as the development of the Princeville Dike Trail,
River Park, Lake Retreat and Wetland Site, Princeville Museum, and a new Southern
Terrace five acre recreational park. The Heritage Trail plan is illustrated by Figure 4-7.

V. COMMUNITY RECOVERY PLAN
This chapter develops options to address the goals and objectives of the Princeville
Recovery effort. The options offer a, range of choices and investment opportunities to
help the community to make thoughtful decisions based on the costs and long-term
benefits of each plan element.
Recovery Option 1 - Basic Program
Option 1 is designed to repair, replace, rehabilitate, and bring back into operation all the
essential community functions with the goal of bringing the people of Princeville back
home. These projects are designed to use all eligible funding available to restore
Princeville to pre-flood conditions (e.g, FEMA, insurance, etc.).
Recovery Option 2 - Enhancement Program
Option 2 is geared toward not only repairing and replacing what the community lost in
the flood, but also improving elements of community life that will revitalize the town and
correct long-standing deficiencies.
Recovery Option 3 - Growth and Development
Option 3 identifies requirements and programs to enhance, expand and extend
community services in order to capitalize on growth and economic development
opportunities.
A summary of cost estimates for recommended projects described under options 1, 2
and 3 is provided as Table 5-5 at the end of this chapter. An annotated map for each
option is also located at the end of this chapter, Figures 5-22, 5-23, and 5-24.
The option levels are organized by the same program categories listed in Chapter 4,
Existing Conditions:
• Economic Development
• Land Use
• Municipal Buildings
• Infrastructure
• Parks and Open Space
It is important to note the option plan provides the opportunity to make various selections
within the necessary program categories. It is not necessary to adopt any option in its
entirety.
A. Economic Development
1. Option 1
Option 1 would restore the local economy of Princeville to the condition existing
immediately before the flood of September 1999. This approach would focus on working
to reopen as many as possible of the 34 small businesses that were operating in
Princeville prior to the flood. This option accepts the predominantly residential character
of Princeville, and the fact that most of its citizens of working age must seek employment
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 79
outside the Town. Option 1 would also essentially accept the range of goods and
services available locally to Princeville residents immediately prior to the flood, and
would involve no significant effort to enhance them.
The Survey of Businesses, as of May 30, 1997, which was compiled for the Institute's
Draft Strategic Plan, shows that businesses in Princeville prior to 1999 were heavily
concentrated in convenience stores, auto repair garages, and beauty salons. A number
of basic retail needs, such as banking, supermarkets, drug stores and clothing stores
were not available in Princeville, and the Town's residents had to go to Tarboro, Rocky
Mount and elsewhere for these needs.
Likelihood of Reopening Former Businesses
Interviews with business proprietors who have reopened or not reopened indicate it may
take some time for many businesses to start up again. One major reason for this is that
the majority of Princeville's pre-flood residents have not returned to the Town, and an
adequate customer base therefore does not exist for many retail businesses.
The Southern Terrace subdivision is the section of Princeville with the largest
percentage of residents who have returned to the neighborhood (although not
necessarily into their former homes). However, Roger's Grocery, which is located near
Southern Terrace, reports that business is still considerably slower than before the flood.
Old Princeville has a much lower percentage of residents who have returned to their
property, and at this time represents a limited market for retail outlets.
A number of former businesses will be reopening, but will do so over an extended period
of time. The owner of the Princeville Plaza business complex advises that he expects
most of the businesses that were renting his buildings to return once he has finished
repairs on those buildings, but will do so gradually. He indicated the barbershop and
beauty salon would be the first shops repaired, because customers of those shops are
more willing to travel than those of a convenience store. The restaurant will be the next
building to be repaired. The property owner is not certain if the original restaurant
operator will want to re-open his restaurant, but said he has several alternative tenants
who want to open a restaurant in that building if the operator of Clark's does not return.
The owner expects the laundromat and ABC liquor store to return at a later time, and
indicates the convenience store will be the last outlet to reopen after most of Princeville's
residents have returned to Town.
Several of the businesses that have reopened are ones that are not particularly
dependent on retail trade from Princeville. For example, Wayne's Material Handling,
which repairs and rents forklifts, deals almost exclusively with businesses outside of
Princeville as its customers.
Two major factors may inhibit former businesses in Princeville from reopening. One is
the age of proprietors. Interviews with business people indicate that a number of
proprietors, who have either reached or are approaching senior citizen status, may
simply not have the desire to put in the effort and undertake the risks of re-starting their
businesses. However, some of these individuals may be willing to repair their buildings
and lease them to others. The second factor is lack of financial resources. Many
business people had their entire stocks and all their equipment wiped out in the flood.
While many are eligible for SBA loans, interviews have revealed a consistent pattern that
Princeville business proprietors are highly reluctant to take on debt they are not yet sure
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 80
their businesses will be able to support. Several businessmen have applied for and
been approved for SBA loans, but have been reluctant to draw them down because they
believe the amount of the approved loan is more than they need or can repay. Other
business people operating as sole proprietors were asked by SBA to pledge all their
personal assets to secure a business loan, and are unwilling to do so. Several business
proprietors who have had the resources have chosen to restart their businesses out of
their own capital rather than take on SBA debt. Nevertheless, a number of proprietors
who are either unable or unwilling to get SBA loans will be financially hard pressed to
reopen.
Cost Estimate: no capital investment required
2. Option 2
Option 2 has the objective of reopening as many of the pre-flood businesses as possible
and seeks investments in new businesses to offer an expanded range of goods and
services to the citizens of Princeville. Option 2 would seek a friendly, limited annexation
of land to the Truck Stop off U.S. 64, to take advantage of private sector developments
taking place there. Finally, Option 2 would encourage commercial activities connected
with the establishment of the Heritage Trail.
The key retail element of Option 2 would involve the establishment of a small shopping
center on the west side of Main Street across from the proposed new location of Town
Hall and north of Princeville Plaza. Shops could provide goods and services not
currently available in Princeville.
Existing retail businesses in Princeville have been heavily oriented toward convenience
stores, while many everyday goods and services have been unavailable within the
Town. The new retail area would encourage the establishment of needed enterprises
such as a branch bank, a drug store, professional offices, a clinic or wellness center, a
shoe store and a clothing store. Enterprises associated with the proposed Heritage
Trail, such as an ethnic or regional food restaurant or a traditional crafts store, might also
be tenants of such a center. Such new enterprises might need to be encouraged in their
early years with low rents or similar incentives. To facilitate this, it is proposed that the
Town of Princeville establish a Development Authority or a 501(c) 3 corporation to
purchase the land and build the retail area. Establishment of an Authority or a 501(c) 3
would also facilitate solicitation of private contributions and/or EDA grants to support this
endeavor, although EDA funds may be hard to obtain for this type of venture.
Option 2 would involve the annexation of land on the west side of Main Street from the
present Town Limits to the reopened truck stop, to incorporate a small fiberglass boat
manufacturer, Winchester Power Boats, and a potential new hotel or motel.
Winchester Power Boats had purchased a building on Old Sparta Road, south of the
existing Town Limits, and prior to the flood was setting up equipment to begin
manufacturing about 100 boats per year with 12 employees. The proprietor had been in
discussions with Princeville officials and the Carolinas Gateway Partnership about
bringing sewer and water to her building. The September 1999 flood occurred before
the company could commence operations. The proprietor has now returned and is
repairing equipment in an attempt to begin operations in the near future.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 81
Sewer and water need to be extended along South Main Street to the boat plant building
and the site of the proposed hotel or motel behind the truck stop. It is possible that an
EDA grant can be obtained to pay for all or most of this cost.
Cost Estimate: $175,000
3. Option 3
Option 3 provides new retail and service industry opportunities and actively expands
Princeville's job base by annexing industrial land south of the present Town Limits on
Main Street to aggressively attract one or two light industries to Princeville.
Option 3 would seek an EDA grant for the Development Authority to purchase a 20 to 30
acre tract of industrial land and bring utilities to it.
Interviews with Town leaders and business people indicate there would be significant
support for trying to attract one or two carefully targeted, small to medium sized light
industrial firms whose business could provide significant employment prospects for
Princeville's labor force.
One such opportunity appears to be attracting a modular housing manufacturing facility.
While making no commitments at this time, several modular housing manufacturing
companies have expressed tentative interest in exploring locating a manufacturing
facility in the Princeville area. With up to 15,000 housing units needing to be replaced in
eastern North Carolina as a result of Hurricane Floyd, these companies see a strong
market for their product in the area. Discussions with these companies indicate that a
typical manufacturing facility would require 10 to 15 acres of land, an open building of
40,000 to 70,000 square feet, would employ 50 to 80 people initially, and be capable of
manufacturing approximately 300 modular homes a year. The facilities require only
basic sewer, water and power for utilities. Modular housing companies indicate that
reliability is the most important aspect they look for in a worker, and that a high school
education is sufficient. It should be emphasized that these companies manufacture
modular, not mobile, homes. Construction is entirely of wood and drywall, rather than
metal frame, and quality control standards are at least as stringent for an on-site
conventional house, because modular homes must meet building codes in many
different localities.
Other light industries would also be targeted, such as manufacturing facilities of minority-
owned industries. If two light industrial companies, employing approximately 75 workers
each, could be attracted to Princeville, the impact on long-term employment prospects
for a town its size would be significant. In the long term, attracting larger light industries
with more sophisticated manufacturing processes would be pursued
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 82
Purchase of a 25- to 30-acre tract of industrial land on the western side of the CSX
tracks behind the Truck Stop, and bringing utilities into this tract, would be pursued by
the Town or Development Authority through an EDA grant. While not typical, land
acquisition is an eligible activity and given the extreme circumstances in Princeville, may
be worth pursuing with EDA. USDA rural business programs could be another potential
funding source. A listing of USDA economic development and housing programs is
attached in Appendix A.
Land Acquisition Cost Estimate: $375,000
Princeville Profile Brochure
The Carolinas Gateway Partnership stands ready to help market Princeville when a plan
is put together by the town to acquire industrial land, bring in utilities and attract industry.
A brochure would be put together giving a profile of Princeville's unique history, and
profiling the features, resources and amenities of the Princeville area that would be
attractive to industry. The brochure would also identify the types of industries Princeville
wishes to target. The Gateway Partnership would assist in preparing the brochure, and
in marketing Princeville both directly and over the Internet.
B. Land Use
Option 1
Option 1 land uses in Princeville would remain essentially as they were before the flood.
Residential structures, new, renovated or rebuilt, would be in the same locations and
with the same density, including single family, multi family, and trailer parks. Commercial
uses would be in the same locations, at the same density and in the same patterns;
parks and open space, churches, and other community facilities would be in the same
locations and of the same size. The exception to this re-establishment of Princeville's
historic land use patterns would be the replacement of the Town Hall closer to the
historic center of the town on Main Street.
New ordinances addressing acquisition of land would be required to provide for the
dedication of public sites in new development areas, specifically for roads, parks, utilities
and community facilities. Conservation Easements would be encouraged for areas that
need to be included in conservation or recreation areas such as Freedom Hill. A
description of the Conservation Easements is at Appendix D. Zoning regulations would
be updated to support the integrity of the Historic Area and to relocate the Extra
Territorial Jurisdiction boundary to comply with Edgecombe County regulations. The
Town limits should also be adjusted so that lots are not split by it. The establishment of
a historic area and the planning for the development of the proposed'Heritage Trail
would be encouraged because these were underway before the flooding and are
deemed to be potentially important economic development opportunities. Design
guidelines would be established to promote compatibility among new and historic
buildings.
A study was conducted to evaluate potential locations within Princeville's ETJ as
possible sites for relocation of transition housing. The results of the study are at
Appendix H.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 83
2. Option 2
As in Option 1, Option 2 land uses in the town would remain essentially as they were
before the flood, however attention would be directed toward filling in vacant parcels with
buildings and uses that would enhance the quality of life.
Residential infill would be encouraged, especially in areas near public uses such as the
new Town Hall, the elementary school and the commercial district. Permanent sites for
a new U.S. Post Office, future town commons, re-established senior center, and new
community recreation center would be recommended in an area where their relationship
to the Town Hall creates an area for community interaction. This proposal would
increase the "street life" that has been identified as an important aspect of life in
Princeville. It is possible that old Town Hall and other historic buildings in the downtown
area could be used for these purposes by adaptive reuse such as a U.S. Post Office,
recreation center or shops.
Zoning regulations would be strengthened to encourage appropriate uses, design, and
building placement in the Historic Area. If the market is strong, zoning could be provided
for multifamily developments such as town houses or condominiums that would attract
first-time buyers. Additional refinement of the zoning regulation could delineate districts
for mixes of mobile homes and conventional structures. Added types of zoning could
address the need or desire for "mixed use" districts where commercial, office and
various types of residential uses would co-exist under certain conditions, standards and
densities. The intersections of Main Street and Mutual Boulevard, and Greenwood
Boulevard and Mutual Boulevard could be considered for this zoning. Additional small
districts of commercial zoning might be added at certain locations to attract new
neighborhood businesses and professional services near those already in existence.
For example, the privately funded Positive Generation Development Center, a residential
rehabilitation facility, could locate in a commercial-oriented, mixed-use district.
Land acquisition would be considered for Riverside Heritage Park and a new Town
Commons. Land acquisition or use rights for an expanded Freedom Hill area and
Heritage Trail would include formal agreements (conservation easements, permits, etc.)
with private landowners, government agencies and others. Conservation easements
would actively be pursued for wetland sites.
Limited growth initiatives would be recommended to extend the boundaries of the
community to areas where tax dollars can be captured from already existing
developments or platted areas under "friendly" annexations.
The formalization and implementation of a historic area overlay zone and the
development and application of design guidelines within the district is encouraged in this
option.
3. Option 3
Option 3 land uses in the existing town limits would remain primarily as they were before
the flood, but nearly all vacant lots would be improved to accommodate development
that would enhance the quality of life and the sense of identity. A directed effort would
be made to increase the size and economy of the community.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 84
Residential infill would be encouraged as discussed in Option 2, including public uses
such as the new Town Hall and the commercial district. A new town commons, senior
center, U.S. Post Office, and community recreation center would be developed to
accommodate population growth. Riverside Heritage Park would be developed on the
site of the former Riverside Trailer Park, and parcels along the frontage would be
purchased as the site of the new community center.
New areas of commercial zoning would be added to attract new neighborhood
businesses and professional services near those already in existence, and at the edges
of the community to attract the regional market and highway traffic.
A growth and development plan would be prepared to direct new land uses to the most
appropriate sites. Growth areas would be designated, and annexation and incentives
would be designed to attract moderate to large employers such as industrial developers,
commercial developers, and developers of new housing.
Zoning regulations would be strengthened to encourage appropriate design and building
placement throughout the community and the growth area. If markets are found, zoning
could be provided for all types and price ranges of housing that would attract first-time
and move-up buyers. New types of zoning could address the need or desire for "mixed
use" zoning where commercial, office, and various types of residential uses would co-
exist under certain conditions, standards and densities.
Land Acquisition
Growth initiatives would be recommended to extend the boundaries of the community in
areas where tax dollars can be captured from already existing developments under
"friendly" annexations and for new annexations that can show a positive cost / benefit
ratio. Full implementation of a historic area would be encouraged. Land would be
purchased or conservation easements would be negotiated for the complete
development of the proposed Heritage Trail and associated parks. A relationship
between these initiatives, downtown infill, adaptive reuse of "historic" buildings, and the
new municipal buildings would provide opportunities for an expression of Princeville's
community identity. Land would be acquired for a new Town Common, possibly
developed near the old Town Hall.
C. Historic Buildings and Historic Area
Option 1
In Option 1, the community would take steps to stabilize and preserve its primary historic
resources, which include the Old Town Hall/Princeville School, Mt. Zion Baptist Church,
and perhaps a half-dozen residential structures that might be singled out for special
assistance. Standards of Care are outlined below.
Implementing the Town's plan to designate a portion of the town as an Historic District
will afford a special standard of care for contributing historic buildings within the District,
and impose a special standard of design and care for new and non-contributing
structures within its boundaries. The community cemeteries could be cleaned-up and
maintained with volunteer labor. Subsequently, the Town could seek a sponsor for long
term care of the cemeteries.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 85
Standards of Care
Planning and rehabilitation work in Option 1 (and all following Options) should be
conducted in accordance with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for the Rehabilitation
of Historic Properties. The intent of the Standards is to assist the long-term preservation
of a property's significance through the preservation of historic materials and features.
The Standards pertain to historic buildings of all materials, construction types, sizes, and
occupancy and encompass the exterior and interior of the buildings. They also
encompass related landscape features and the building's site and environment, as well
as attached, adjacent, or related new construction. These Standards will influence
decisions pertaining to both old and new structures within the historic district.
2. Option 2
In Option 2, steps for historic preservation and conservation of key buildings would be
followed as outlined in Option 1. In addition, efforts would be made to improve the core
inventory of historic properties, with particular attention on the adaptive reuse of targeted
structures for community purposes, such as restore the Old Town Hall/Princeville School
to its original design configuration and utilize it as a Visitor's Center, Community Center
or Post Office.
Option 2 proposes that other structures might be identified for improvement and adaptive
reuse, such as commercial/service business occupancies. Additional efforts might be
directed at the further development of a Freedom Hill memorial as discussed in the park
and recreation sections of this report, focusing the heritage tourism potential of the
community on this important site. The components of such a program for Princeville
might include:
• Designate historically significant structures and sites within the immediate environs
and document their place in the evolution of the community. The emphasis here is
on identifying all structures that can support the interpretive program, taking care to
preserve them.
• Determine the interpretive role each resource will play in presenting the community
to visitors. Most of the identified structures can be returned to service as single
family residences, and certain structures may be singled out for interpretive
purposes.
• Assess the physical condition of each resource and evaluate of the feasibility of
reclamation and rehabilitation for the proposed occupancy.
• Define specific programs of rehabilitation for each property appropriate for the
proposed occupancy.
• Develop Mitigation Procedures and strategies for the modification of existing problem
building details (see Appendix E).
• Develop additional tourism infrastructure to encourage visits by the general public
and to support special programs that might be developed to improve the quality of
experience available here.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 86
• Establish corporate/foundation sponsor for restoration and long term maintenance
program of private cemeteries. This would include mapping and identification of
unmarked graves.
a) Management Strategies
Management of private resources, such as single family residences, in the context of a
community tourism initiative, will offer special challenges to gain widespread community
support. Several elements are suggested as ways to manage these issues.
(1) Historic District
Establishment of an historic district that encompasses the majority of the historic
properties identified as significant. These properties should be subject to an ordinance
that would establish special standards that are consistent with the Secretary of Interior's
Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.
(2) Design and Construction Standards
Design and Construction Standards should be set for the design and care of all other
properties within the district boundaries. In new construction, historic properties should
be used as general patterns to guide the form of infill construction.
3. Option 3
In Option 3, a significant commitment to creating and developing the heritage tourism
potential of Princeville would require the cooperation and support of the entire
community.
• In the category of residential structures, a larger number of historic residential
structures would be saved and rehabilitated.
• Restore Old Town Hall/Princeville School to its original design and configuration, and
use as an African American Cultural Museum. The museum could showcase African
Americans "Firsts," in keeping with the Town's identity as the first community in
America chartered by blacks.
• Having established corporate/foundation sponsorship for the cemeteries, they could
be incorporated into the Heritage Trail. A historic plaque or monument could be
erected on site.
• The former baptism site along the river could be identified with a plaque or marker
and placed as a point of interest on the Heritage Tour.
It is further recommended that Princeville develop a marketing strategy and
implementation program. The following outline could be used as a basis of the effort.
Marketing Goals
1. Research and catalog African American Heritage sites and events in the Princeville
area, with an eye to educational and economic development.
2. Orient, educate, and enlist active community support for heritage tourism.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 87
3. Promote and market sites and events to out-of-state tourists.
4. Ensure that such sites and events are prepared for increased tourism.
5. Make available and encourage the use of the information for educational purposes
by adults and by schools to fulfill established standards of learning.
6. Ensure that all North Carolinians are aware of this important legacy and encourage
them to visit these sites.
7. Build alliances with other historic and heritage tourism sites.
8. Actively market and promote the Princeville heritage tourism program.
Marketing Research
1. Planning in collaboration with the National Park Service, the National Trust for
Historic Preservation, North Carolina Tourism Commission, the North Carolina
Department of Cultural Affairs and State Historic Preservation Office, the African
American community, historians, and others involved in the preservation and
promotion of African American history and culture.
2. Research and develop database of buildings, artifacts, events, and people.
3. Analyze the economic feasibility of the proposed program, determining the level of
capital investment, anticipated visitorship, sources of revenues, operating and
maintenance budgets, and taxation issues.
4. Prepare, plan and implement Federal, State, and private funding program
Products to be Developed
1. Research and compile genealogical and historical databases

D. Municipal Buildings
The municipal buildings section discusses different designs and possible layouts of
buildings that can be used for the various Town functions. The buildings being
considered are the new Town Hall, Police Station, Post Office, and a Senior Center.
Each building is addressed with different options and includes proposed floor plans;
budgetary cost estimates, and renderings illustrating how each building might look. The
options call for various budgets and provide alternatives that are suited to the Town and
its site. The area plans at Figures 5-1, 5-2, and 5-3, show how each building would fit
within the proposed municipal center near the intersection of Main Street and Mutual
Boulevard.

Old Town Hall
a) Option 1
The old Town Hall, a former Rosenwald schoolhouse, should be stabilized to prevent
further deterioration of the building and to maintain its eligibility for National Register of
Historic Places. With the structure stabilized, the Town could later pursue restoring the
building to its original structure at a future date. No changes would be made to the
public works and maintenance areas that are presently in facilities attached to the
original structure. Figure 5-4 shows the old Town Hall and its annexes.
Cost Estimate: $75,000
b) Option 2
The old Town Hall would be restored to the original Rosenwald Schoolhouse design and
the public works and maintenance areas added to the original structure would be
removed and relocated to new facilities adjacent to the fire station. The North Carolina
State Historic Preservation Office has recommended that the nomination of the former
schoolhouse to the National Register of Historic Places be completed once the
restoration is underway. The restoration would be executed under the guidance of a
historic preservation expert, and would include accessibility and restroom facilities.
Figure 5-5 shows the floor plan of the restored old Town Hall. Once properly restored to
the original structure, the building could serve adaptive reuse functions including a
recreation room for the surrounding Mutual Park area, or a new post office. Figure 5-6
illustrates how the restored building might appear, compared to the existing flood-
damaged structure.
Cost Estimate: $525,000

c) Option 3
Similar to Option 2, the old Town Hall would be restored to the original Rosenwald
Schoolhouse design. The public works and maintenance areas added to the original
structure would be removed and a new maintenance building would be built elsewhere.
The restoration would be executed under the review of a historic preservation expert.
Upon the recommendation of the Town, the restored building would be used as the
African American Firsts Museum and staffed and maintained by either a volunteer
organization or Town staff.
Cost Estimate: $612,500
2. Proposed Municipal Buildings
a) Option 1
The old Town Hall was approximately 5,275 square feet. The municipal areas were
housed in approximately 3,100-square feet located in both the annexed areas and the
original schoolhouse. The spaces were inefficient and often inadequate because they
were restricted by the spatial layout of the original schoolhouse design. The old Town
Hall did not meet ADA accessibility requirements and did not possess the required
number of restroom facilities.
The proposed Town Hall would provide a comparable space for the municipal functions
that were accommodated in the old Town Hall as shown in Table 5-1. In providing the
basic space planning requirements and handicap accessibility, the total required is
3,638-square feet The description of the program is summarized in the Proposed Town
Hall Programmatic Requirements and the square footage breakdown is listed below in
Table 5-2. The cost estimate breakdown is located in the appendix. Figure 5-7 is a
perspective sketch of this proposal.
Prior to the flood, the Princeville police station was located in the existing fire station.
The proposed police station would provide the necessary functions for the police
department to operate autonomously. The police department would have both its own
staff and public reception entrance separate from that of the Town Hall. The basic space
planning requirements and accessibility would be provided in a space approximately
1,595-square feet. See Table 5-2.
The proposed Town Hall and Police Station building would be located on property
owned by the Town at Main Street between Mutual Boulevard and Dancy Street as
illustrated by Figure 5-8.
Arranging the Town Hall and the Police Station in the same building provides the most
cost efficient solution. The total square area of the building would be approx. 5,020
square feet This area is basically equivalent to the size of the existing Town Hall and
provides both the basic space planning and accessibility requirements. The cost
estimate breakdown is located at Appendix G. Figure 5-9 shows the proposed floor plan
for the Option 1 Town Hall and Police Station.
Cost Estimate: $542,725

b) Option 2
In Option 2, the new Town Hall would be a single story structure with a separate new
Police Station. This Option is illustrated in Figure 5-10. Option 2 would provide a slightly
larger area for municipal functions to enhance the work areas as illustrated by Figure 5-
12 and described in Table 5-3. These would include a larger record storage area,
increased workspace, and a larger Board meeting room. If the Town chose not to utilize
off-site storage or a records management software program, the record storage area
could be constructed to be watertight and fire resistant to protecting permanent records
from damage. Total area is 3,900 square feet. The Town Hall would have sixteen on-
grade parking spaces. The cost estimate breakdown is located at Appendix G.
Town Hall Cost Estimate: $403,565

May 22, 2000 Page 106
As demonstrated in the site plan in Figure 5-11, the proposed Police Station of 1,450
square feet would be a separate building located adjacent to the Town Hall. The building
would provide generally the same facilities as those described in the Space
Requirements Table located in Option 1. The floor plan for the separate police station is
located in Figure 5-13. The Police Station would have seven on-grade parking spaces.
The cost estimate breakdown is located in the appendix.
Police Station Cost Estimate: $179,275
Town Hall and Police Station Cost Estimate: $785,600
c) Option 3
The proposed Town Hall would be a two-story structure that would accommodate the
space planning requirements for new municipal positions and facilities necessary to
manage and supervise future Town growth as well as an attached Police Station
illustrated in Figure 5-14. See Figure 5-16 and Figure 5-17 for the floor plans. The
expanded area would also include the potential for an Emergency Operations Center
and a permanent record storage area. This area would only be utilized for permanent
storage if the Town decided not to utilize an offsite storage area or a records
management software package. The permanent record storage area would be on the
second floor to limit water damage caused by excessive flooding. The total area required
would be 7,360 square feet. The description of the program is summarized in the
Proposed Town Hall Programmatic Requirements. The cost estimate breakdown is
located at Appendix
As shown in Figure 5-15, Site Plan of Municipal Buildings Option 3, the proposed Post
Office, and Proposed Senior Center Require a large parking lot. To accommodate this
complex, an additional half-acre of land must be purchased between the town-owned
land and Beasley Street.
Cost Estimate $785,600

Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 113
3. Senior Center
A senior center would be located along Main Street adjacent to the Prince Court Senior
Housing development.
a) Option 1
In Option 1, the Senior Center building would be replaced with a building similar to the
one used prior to the flood. Limited site work would include a new paved parking area.
Cost Estimate 26 900
b) Option 2
In Option 2, the Senior Center would be located in the existing doublewide mobile home
with enhancements on the Town-owned land near the new Town Hall and Prince Court.
Cost Estimate $31,900
c) Option 3
In Option 3, the Senior Center would be a facility large enough to accommodate clinic
and senior day care services. It would be located near the new town hall and Prince
Court. A perspective sketch is shown in Figure 5-18.
Cost Estimate $208,335
4. Post Office
A postal facility is first provided under Option 2 as a potential adaptive use of the
renovated Town Hall. Under Option 3, a new post office, which would put Princeville on
the map, would be located adjacent to the new Town Hall and Police Station creating an
overall center of municipal and federal services. A perspective sketch is shown in Figure
5-19.
Option 3 Cost Estimate $208,585

5. Fire Station
a) Option 9
The fire station would be returned to its pre-flood condition in Option 1. If the fire
department is able to locate funding, it intends to enlarge and improve the existing
facility at this site.
b) Option 2
Estimated cost: $92,400
As in Option 1, the fire station would be returned to its pre-flood condition, but one bay
would be added so that the entire facility would have 3,360 square feet.
c) Option 3
Estimated cost: $120,400
In Option 3, an entirely new facility would be built at the current site. At three times its
current size, it would be 7,000 square feet.
Estimated cost: $500,400
6. Boys and Girls Club
a) Option 9
In Option 1, The Boys and Girls Club will hold its activities in Town-owned buildings as
space can be made available. If the organization can provide its own facilities, it would
work with the Town to locate a suitable site.
b) Option 2
The Boys and Girls Club will be located at the new Riverside Heritage Park on land
provided by the Town under a "partnership" agreement to be made by the organization
and the Town. The size and facilities of the club will be determined by the organization
according the funds they are able to provide for it. This facility would also accommodate
arts and educational development programs sponsored by non-profit organizations such
as Positive Growth Development Center.
c) Option 3
The Boys and Girls Club has expressed an interest in building this facility in a public -
private partnership arrangement with the Town. If this arrangement can be made, the
facility could grow to include an indoor basketball court and swimming pool and be in the
range of 15,000 to 20,000 square feet depending on the financial resources of the club.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 117
7. Infrastructure
a) Roads and Sidewalks
(1) Option 1
Option 1 would restore the Town to pre-flood conditions. The roads were submerged
under several feet of water for a period of four to six weeks, and road surfaces have
developed cracks and previous repair patches were undermined. Emergency methods
to stabilize roads should be done as needed. Utility work in Princeville should be
completed before final paving of the roads is started. A FEMA funded public assistance
project is in place to repair all pavements damaged by the flood.
Cost Estimate: $144.100
O Option 2
In downtown Princeville, most of the road system is constructed as shown on the
Edgecombe County parcel maps. Some of the roads shown on the parcel maps have
not been graded or paved. Option 2 would construct or pave unimproved roads that are
shown on the town parcel maps. Recommended improvements include Fourth Street,
which should be paved from Greenwood Boulevard to Otis Street, and Williams Street,
which should be paved from Rainey Street to Snowden Street.
Southern Terrace has only one entrance and exit route from the development. This
traffic and safety problem warrants another exit from the development. Two alternate
routes are shown on the Option 2 maps, at Figures 5-22, 5-23, and 5-24.
Two highway intersections are recommended for design improvements. The
intersection of North State Highway 258 and State Highway 33 at the entrance to
Princeville should be a four-way intersection with all traffic coming into the traffic light as
illustrated in Figure 5-20. The bypass configuration should be eliminated as described in
the land use section. A traffic study and design is recommended to determine the
number of lanes required for free flowing traffic at this intersection. Land acquisition
would be required to add additional lanes at the traffic light for turning movements.
The other intersection proposed for design improvements is located at Mutual Boulevard
and Greenwood Boulevard. This should be a three-way intersection with clearly defined
turning movements. The left turn from Mutual Boulevard to Greenwood is poorly marked
and difficult to maneuver for a large vehicle or a vehicle in tow. A traffic study and
design are recommended to quantify these improvements.
Ten-foot wide sidewalks and streetscaping are proposed along the business district of
Main Street from Mutual Boulevard to Beasley Street. Sidewalks are proposed along
Walston Street to provide access to the new school that is currently under construction.
Sidewalks already exist along the other roads bordering the school and the new
sidewalks will provide complete access from all directions.
Cost Estimate: $925,800

(3) Option 3
All unfinished and dirt roads inside the Town limits will be completed and paved in this
option. Option 3 also involves all roads being milled and resurfaced following the
completion of planned utility repairs.
As in Option 2, a second access road will be provided for Southern Terrace. The two
intersection redesigns recommended in Option 2 would be designed and constructed.
Sidewalks and streetscaping are proposed along Main Street from Mutual Boulevard to
Beasley Street and along Mutual Boulevard from Main Street to Neville Street. These
new sidewalks will be constructed 10 feet wide. A four-foot wide sidewalk is proposed
along Walston Street to complete walking access to the new school.
Cost Estimate: $2.258,300
b) Water System
(1) Option 1
Option 1 proposes to restore the water distribution system to pre-flood conditions. Flood
damage to the water system included ruptured mains and the system lost pressure for a
period of time. The water plant at Tarboro was out of service for several days following
the flood. A FEMA funded public assistance project covered having the leaks repaired
and the system restored to service. The distribution system has been secured, flushed,
disinfected and restored to service. The repair work proposed for this option has been
completed at this time.
Cost Estimate: $11,200
(2) Option 2
Option 2 will bring the water system into compliance with current planning standards.
The water system should be inspected for leaks and any existing leaks should be
repaired to make the system secure. The individual water meters should be calibrated
or replaced at each of the homes. The water metered to Princeville customers should
be monitored and compared with the amount metered out of Tarboro. All non-metered
users should be identified and removed from the system.
Water mains would be extended to pick up all the homes within the Town limits. A water
main extension is needed along Greenwood Boulevard from Strickland Drive to the
eastern Town limits on Greenwood to provide public water to the five homes currently
not served. A water main extension along First Street will provide service to four homes
South of Otis Boulevard. A water main extension along Williams Street will provide
service to one home located off the public water system. A water main extended south
of the CSX railroad tracks will provide service to the new powerboat manufacturer
located in this area.
Cost Estimate: 129,400
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 120
(3) Option 3
Option 3 proposes replacing all water mains throughout the community. New
infrastructure would eliminate leaks and provide a good base for growth and
development of the community. A water main will be extended south of the CSX railroad
tracks to connect the industrial sites proposed for annexation.
Cost Estimate: $1,421,800
c) Wastewater System
(1) Option 1
Option 1 restores the wastewater system to pre-flood conditions. A FEMA funded public
assistance project was written to cover emergency repairs to return the lift stations to
serviceable condition and to repair flood related damage to the sewer mains. Manholes
and sewer mains are currently being cleaned and inspected to evaluate their condition
after the flood. Completion of the sewer main inspection is expected by June 2000.
Cost Estimate: $386,000
(2) Option 2
Option 2 will bring the wastewater system into compliance with all current wastewater
codes. It is estimated from field observations of the wastewater system and recent
commercial studies that approximately 50% of the wastewater mains may need
extensive repairing or replacement.
All homes in Southern terrace that can be added to the gravity collection system will be
provided with a sewer main. Sewer main expansion will provide service to the
powerboat manufacturer over the CSX railroad track on the south end of Princeville.
Cost Estimate: $2,308,600
(3) Option 3
Option 3 recommends replacing the wastewater mains throughout the community. New
infrastructure will ensure reliable service and provide incentive for growth and
development. All homes within the Town limits will be connected to the wastewater
connection system. Sewer main expansion will provide service to the truck stop and
industrial area south of it.
Cost Estimate: $4,722,200
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 121
d) Drainage System
O Option 1
A FEMA funded public assistance project was written to clean the debris from the
existing storm pipe drainage structures. In addition, sewer pipes suspected of failure
may be inspected and replaced as required by the public assistance program.
The United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Conservation
Service (NRCS) is working to remove debris from the open channels and drainage
ditches. NRCS is also currently evaluating the existing drainage system to develop a
conceptual plan to reduce localized flooding. NRCS will use this study as the basis for
designing a new drainage system with the capacity to withstand a 10-year, 24-hour
design storm condition.
Cost Estimate: $97,400
(2) Option 2
Selected improvements would correct some of the existing drainage problems.
Improvements would not provide the full 10-year/24-hour protection as designed by the
NRCS design but will provide some mitigation from damage and provide some additional
protection to the homes.
Cost Estimate: $687,000
(3) Option 3
Option 3 would develop the entire NRCS storm drainage program, meeting the criteria
for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event.
Cost Estimate: $2,642,000
8. Parks and Open Space
a) Freedom Hill and Powell Park
(1) Option 1
The development of the Freedom Hill Memorial would begin with the installation of a
memorial plaque, lighting and park benches and trash receptacles at its current site at
Mutual Boulevard and Main Street. Option 1 recommends that Powell Park would be
cleaned, and that park furnishings and playground equipment be restored. Option 1
would include establishing a conservation easement from Freedom Hill to Powell Park to
provide a large area for future development of the site as a cultural feature.
Conservation easements protect open space of all kinds - wetlands, wildlife habitat,
ranches, shorelines, forests, scenic views, farms, watersheds and recreation areas. A
conservation easement is a legal "partnership that allows a landowner to both own and
conserve land, and for a community or nonprofit organization to obtain the land for
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 122
conservation, recreation, or other public purposes without purchasing it. The
organization could be a city government, a county government, or a qualified not for
profit organization that specializes in land trusts and land conservation agreements. It is
a strategy for land conservation in which both the public and private parties receive
benefits. Further information regarding Conservation Easements is provided at
Appendix D.
Cost Estimate: $55,000
(2) Option 2
In Option 2, Freedom Hill would become a major focal point of Princeville's park system
and heritage identity. Located on the northeast corner of Main Street and Mutual
Boulevard, this area would be developed as the major gateway into Princeville from US
Highway 64 and nearby Tarboro.
Statuary, a water feature, or other symbolic work of art would be designed and installed
along with special paving around the base, landscaping and park furnishings. A
pedestrian pathway would replace Riverview Road and lead to Powell Park. Other
features might include use of the adjacent historic home, and incorporation of adjacent
wetlands under a conservation easement connecting Freedom Hill with Powell Park.
Part of the remaining flat area near the intersection of Church Street and Mutual
Boulevard could be used for visitor parking. All traffic would be controlled by the
improved intersection of Main Street and Mutual Boulevard.
Option 2 proposes that the current traffic island be eliminated through a conservation
easement or abandonment of Riverview Road and Cherry Street. Removing these
roads would create a larger landscaped green space for the development of a Freedom
Hill Memorial.
In Option 2, Powell Park would be graded and re-seeded to provide a consistent grass
surface. With the addition of a picnic shelter, some open area picnic tables, barbecue
stands, playground equipment, and benches, Powell Park would become an attractive
and useable park adjacent to the Princeville Dike Trail. It would also serve as the
gathering place near the historic Tar River baptism site.
Cost Estimate: $549,200
(3) Option 3
Under Option 3, additional features might include use of the two adjacent historic houses
for interpretive displays and visitor amenities, a gazebo or similar structure for lectures
and concerts. In addition, the overhead utility lines would be removed and new
underground lines would be provided to improve the visual quality of this gateway.
A visitor center (with restrooms) designed to reflect some historic architectural elements
would be the centerpiece of the park. Interpretive signs, a picnic shelter, tables,
barbecue stands, playground equipment, and benches would round out the facilities at
the park.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 123
A conceptual plan of the Freedom Hill and Powell Park area is shown in Figure 5-21.
Cost Estimate: $1,454,200
b) Mutual Park
(1) Option 1
Option 1 recommends that Mutual Park will be cleaned, and that park furnishings and
playground equipment be restored.
Cost Estimate: $5,000
(2) Option 2
To support Princeville's old Town Hall reuse as a community and recreation center or
Post Office, Mutual Park would be a landscaped picnic and play area. The park's picnic
shelter would be repaired. The tennis court would be resurfaced, painted and striped. A
new net would be installed. The basketball court would be cleaned and repaired; new
backboards and nets would be installed. The park's open area would be graded and re-
seeded to provide a complete ground cover. A defined edge would be constructed
around the parking lot which would be graded and have a new gravel surface. The
chain link fencing around the play area and picnic shelter would be removed to improve
pedestrian access among these public facilities. New amenities to Mutual Park include
upgraded playground equipment consistent with current safety standards, lighting,
barbecue stands, bicycle racks, benches, and additional open area picnic tables.
Cost Estimate: $142,500
(3) Option 3
The parking lot serving Mutual Park would be upgraded for use by the proposed Town
Hall and museum as well as the park. A defined edge would be constructed around the
parking lot and it would be paved and lined. The chain link fencing around the play area
and picnic shelter would be removed to improve pedestrian access from the lot, museum
and the park. New amenities to Mutual would be similar to those in Option 2.
Cost Estimate: $188,900
c) Princeville Town Commons
(1) Option 1
Mutual Park will fulfill the function of a Town Commons.
d) Option 2
Option 2 proposes the addition of a Town Commons to further enhance the
attractiveness of the old Town Hall and Mutual Park complex and to create an "interior'
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 124
green space for walking and passive recreation. This would entail the acquisition of two
or more former residential lots immediately south or east of Mutual Park. This new open
green space would have period lights on the perimeter pathways. Landscaping would
include existing trees, supplemented by new trees along the pathways and along Suggs
Street with flowerbeds for seasonal color.
Cost Estimate: $42,700
(1) Option 3
Option 3 proposes the addition of a large Town Commons to enhance the attractiveness
of the old Town Hall and Mutual Park complex and to link this important community area
with the new Town Hall, the Senior Center, and the proposed commercial area. This
would entail the acquisition of residential lots immediately south and east of Mutual Park
on either the north or south side of Suggs Street all the way to Church Street. As in
Option 2, the new open area would have lighted perimeter pathways and landscaping
that would include existing trees supplemented by new trees along the pathways and
flower beds for seasonal color. If located on the north side of Suggs Street, the
commons would lead directly to the rebuilt Prince Court. If located on the south side of
Suggs Street, it would lead directly to the historic Mt. Zion Primitive Baptist church.
Conceptual plans of Mutual Park and the Town Commons are shown in Figure 5-21.
Cost Estimate: 218,500
e) Riverside Heritage Park
(1) Option 1
Riverside Heritage Park is not developed in Option 1.
0 Option 2
The former Riverside Trailer Park would be acquired for the proposed Riverside Heritage
Park as part of a hazard mitigation program. This ten-acre site is big enough to include
a variety of sports activities including a baseball field, open playfields, and it offers
convenient access to the Princeville Dike Trail. Park facilities and amenities in Option 2
would include a parking lot at the base of the dike, benches, picnic shelters, barbecue
stands, open area picnic tables, and landscaping. The Boys and Girls Club may locate
its facilities at this site.
Cost Estimate: $738,600
(1) Option 3
As in Option 2, the former Riverside Trailer Park would be acquired to develop the
proposed Riverside Heritage Park and would include indoor facilities as well as open
playfields and sports areas.
A parking lot would offer convenient access to the Princeville Dike Trail. Park facilities
and amenities would include two parking lots (one at the base of the dike), a baseball
diamond with fenced backstop, basketball courts, a fitness path, benches, bicycle racks,
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 125
picnic shelter, barbecue stands, open area picnic tables, playground equipment,
restrooms, and landscaping.
A recreation center would be constructed on Mutual Boulevard on additional land
acquired by the Town. At minimum, it would be 3000 square feet and include a
commercial style kitchen, a large area that could be divided into meeting rooms, and
several offices. It would be available for community programs, county programs (such
as a branch library), and the Boys and Girls Club. A conceptual plan of Riverside
Heritage Park is shown in Figure 5-21.

' N
g) Heritage Trail
(1) Option 1
Option 1 provides for the first Heritage Trail element to be the construction about one
mile of the Princeville Dike Trail. The crushed gravel Trail would begin at Powell Park,
pass the proposed Riverside Heritage Park, and end at the cemeteries. The Princeville
cemeteries, as a Heritage Trail element, would be cleaned and maintained by
volunteers. It is recommended that the Cemetery Commission locate a sponsor to
provide maintenance for these historic sites and pursue listing in the National Register of
Historic Places.
Cost Estimate: $126,500
(2) Option 2
Option 2 provides for the National Park Service design team's concept for the Heritage
Trail to begin development, in addition to the previously described improvements to
Powell Park, the acquisition and initial developments at Riverside Heritage Park, and the
trail to the cemeteries. A small eight- to 10-car parking lot would be constructed near the
dike at the proposed Riverside Heritage Park.
Trail signs would interpret local history and ecology including the historic baptism site on
the Tar River. To mitigate hazardous conditions directly below the Princeville Dike, and
to conserve a locally important natural resource, land would be acquired under a
conservation easement between the Powell Park and Riverside Heritage Park holdings.
The easement would conserve and protect the wetlands for wildlife and recreation uses
and act as mitigation from potential development of these areas.
Cost Estimate: $168,200
(3) Option 3
Complete development of the Trail would include a 3-mile walking and biking trail from
Freedom Hill, through Powell Park, along the top of.the dike passing by the Riverside
Heritage Park, and passing through the historic cemeteries. A walking, biking and
driving trail around Princeville would include a parking lot at Freedom Hill and a painted
"trail" to the museum at old Town Hall, access and a parking lot to the River Park, Lake
Retreat and Wetlands area described below in the conservation area, access and a
parking lot at the foot of the Princeville Dike in Riverside Heritage Park, access to and
through the historic cemeteries, and a final leg ending at Southern Terrace Park.
Additional developments along the route include directional and interpretive signs. To
identify the Heritage Trail routes, directional signage would be part of the streetscape
elements and white arrows would be painted in the roadways as is customary in this part
of North Carolina.
Land in the conservation easement would be developed to include River Park and a
Lake Retreat and Wetlands site. The River Park development includes a boat launching
and landing site on the Tar River. Lake Retreat and Wetlands is a series of boardwalks
through and around the extensive wetlands and lake with historic and wetland
descriptive and interpretive signs. The boardwalks would begin at the wetland areas
between Freedom Hill and Powell Park and go eastward to and around the lake.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 128
Recreation in the wetlands would be limited to walking on the boardwalks, bird watching
and picnicking at shelters.
h) Southern Terrace Park
(1) Option 1
Existing lot with no facilities is available for limited recreation.
(2) Option 2
Cost Estimate: 537,600
A two-acre neighborhood park site in Southern Terrace would be improved in Option 2.
Facilities and amenities would include playground equipment, open playfield, a
basketball court, one or two picnic tables, and landscaping.
(3) Option 3
Cost Estimate: $36,700
In Option 3, the two-acre neighborhood park is proposed along Newton Avenue in
Southern Terrace would include playground equipment, an open playfield, a basketball
court, one or two picnic tables and benches, and landscaping. Option 3 also provides a
connection to the Heritage Trail by a hiking and biking pathway and by a vehicle route
with directional signs.
With 200 homes, Southern Terrace should have more than one park. Over time,
additional parkland could be secured in this neighborhood through "lot steading." This is
a method of acquiring lots in strategic areas of a neighborhood through tax liens or other
abandonments and then developing "tot lots," community gardens, and "vest pocket
parks."
Cost Estimate: $100,500
i) Mutual Boulevard and Main Street and Town Hall Area Streetscaping
(1) Option 1
Existing sidewalks would be cleaned, and undergo basic repairs. Right-of-way
easements, if necessary, would be acquired for future streetscaping improvements to
Main Street and Mutual Boulevard. No capital cost is required for this option.
(2) Option 2
Option 2 recommends that sidewalk maintenance and construction be encouraged. The
people of Princeville enjoy walking as a popular pastime, especially among the elderly,
and wider sidewalks would enhance this means of social interaction and physical
activity.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 129
Streetscaping would include trees to be planted adjacent to the roadway and for
benches, waste bins, and planters to be added for convenience and beauty. For added
interest and historic flavor, period style streetlights would be placed along the business
areas near Town Hall on Main Street and the heritage area of Mutual Boulevard.
Standard street lighting would be used at intersections in the neighborhoods.
(3) Option 3
Cost Estimate: $440,800
Option 3 recommends that sidewalk maintenance and construction be encouraged
throughout the downtown area. Wider sidewalks would provide room for street trees to
be planted adjacent to the roadway and for benches, waste bins, and planters to be
added. Period style streetlights would be placed along the business areas near Town
Hall on Main Street and the heritage area of Mutual Boulevard, Freedom Hill, and
around Mutual Park.
Street lighting would be installed throughout Princeville, not just along the major streets.
Standard street lighting would be used in the neighborhoods.
Option 3 recommends construction of 10-foot wide sidewalks for Mutual Boulevard and
streetscaping in the proposed heritage area. The streetlights would be the same style
used in Main Street's business area.
E. Conclusion and Summary
Cost Estimate: $481,200
All of the proposed options offer some advantages to Princeville. Putting a small retail
shopping center across from the new Town Hall complex provides a significant
opportunity to improve the range of goods and services available locally to residents of
Princeville, as well as to significantly enhance the Town's sales tax base. Establishment
of enterprises connected with the development of elements of the Heritage Trail would
also significantly increase Princeville's prospects for attracting tourism dollars. Several
proposed options would support the emergence of the historic area, increasing the
attractiveness of the new Town Hall's setting while reinforcing and defining the town's
unique identity. New parks and recreation facilities will offer Princeville's citizens
opportunities to socialize and play. Freedom Hill's enhancements will create a focal
point for residents and tourists to congregate and learn about Princeville's history.
If negotiations to attract a hotel or motel adjacent to the Truck Stop off U.S. 64 are
successful, and if this area is annexed, it could mean a substantial addition to the
Town's revenues through room taxes. There would also be a substantial addition to the
jobs created within Princeville by new retail and service activities. The options should be
considered carefully not only for availability of funding and the type of facilities provided,
but also for future operation and maintenance costs. Projects from each of the options
may be selected individually.
Figures 5-22, 5-23 and 5-24 are annotated maps that briefly describe and illustrate the
location of the many projects proposed in the previous sections.
Table 5-5 is a summary of the cost estimates for the projects shown on the maps.

VI. IMPLEMENTATION: ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
A. Introduction
This chapter of the report describes a recommended strategy to carry out the proposed
recovery plan, and the environmental review that may be required for each element of
the program.
The Town of Princeville employs a small permanent staff of professionals and skilled
workers who depend heavily upon contract services to meet the Town's needs and
commitments. This organization is well suited to the routine operation of a small town
such as Princeville, but it will be overwhelmed by the immediate needs of citizens
returning to their homes, and restoring the infrastructure necessary to reestablish the
town services.
The next section of this chapter describes an organizational strategy designed to
supplement the Princeville Town Government during the period of recovery and
restoration.
The final section of this chapter describes a summary of the general environmental
review requirements for the Housing and Community Recovery projects described
throughout the report.
B. Organizational Strategy
The proposed responsibilities and suggested qualifications for the Recovery Project
Manager are described, followed by organizations and staffing to implement the Housing
and Community Recovery programs.
1. Recovery Project Manager
The Recovery Project Manager is proposed to be the Town's principal director and
coordinator for both housing and community recovery efforts. Accordingly, the position
calls for a highly qualified professional, preferably with a degree in engineering,
planning, or public administration, and with extensive experience managing grant
programs and municipal public works contracts.
2. Housing Recovery
Chapter Two of the report describes the recommended organization for a Housing
Recovery Center that will provide a professional staff with the capabilities to evaluate
and meet the housing needs of Princeville's citizens. This organization would be under
the direction and control of the Recovery Project Manager.
Key elements of the Housing Recovery Center are summarized as follows:
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 135
• Intake Counselors will assess each applicant's circumstances and eligibility for
various funding programs, and provide information on programs for which the
applicants may be eligible.
• Case Managers, where required, will be available to determine detailed strategies for
individual applicants and to assist with the application, repair, and construction
process.
• A Construction Coordinator will assist applicants in managing the construction of new
homes and the rehabilitation of existing homes.
• A Rehabilitation Specialist will be available to assist in the inspection, project
estimating, and construction associated with rehabilitation projects
• Administrative Assistant
3. Community Recovery
The town must restore the basic services and infrastructure to levels that will provide
and sustain a high quality of life. The organizational strategy and staffing to meet those
demands should be adjusted to meet needs of the program options that the Town of
Princeville chooses to pursue, generally described as follows:
• A minimum level of additional staffing will be required to implement the currently
funded recovery programs. This level of effort will focus on the immediate efforts to
return Princeville residents to the town, and to restore infrastructure to pre-flood
conditions with limited upgrades and improvements.
• Additional specialized staffing and a larger organizational structure will be required to
implement enhanced program levels that will provide additional improvements to
infrastructure and services to enhance the general quality of life for the citizens of
Princeville.
• A relatively high level of professional staffing and organizational structure will be
required to implement extensive improvements, upgrades, and extension of city
services and infrastructure.
These suggested levels of organization represent a broad range of options. The actual
organizational structure and number of staff will vary according to the programs that are
being implemented at any given time during the recovery period.
a) Meeting the Basic Needs of Restoration (Option 1)
Restoration of Princeville's municipal infrastructure and services to pre-flood conditions
will require prompt and effective execution of the many programs already in place to
provide recovery assistance. Generally these responsibilities will include directing the
full range of activities including maintenance and clearing of debris, utility repairs, and
some facility design and construction.
The Recovery Project Manager would be directly responsible for the management of
design and construction contracts necessary to execute the basic flood recovery projects
described in previous sections of the report under Option 1.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 136
b) Adding Enhanced Programs (Option 2)
Enhanced infrastructure projects would upgrade and improve the existing town services
to correct long-standing deficiencies and meet modern standards. Pursuit of these
additional programs will demand more time and attention for grant applications and
administration. This additional effort will also require additional professional services to
coordinate and oversee infrastructure design and construction. The suggested
organization is described as follows:
(1) Recovery Project Manager
Responsibilities and staffing for this position would remain essentially as previously
described, except the Recovery Project Manager would delegate the duties of managing
infrastructure design and construction projects to a new Infrastructure Program
Management Office as described below. This delegation of duties would allow the
Recovery Project Manager to devote more time to grant applications and administration
in support of both Housing and Community Recovery programs.
(2) Infrastructure Program Management Office
(a) Responsibilities
• Coordinate the infrastructure redevelopment program to ensure efficient, cost
effective design and construction with a minimum of disruption to town services
• Develop acquisition strategies appropriate to project needs (i.e., design-bid-build,
design-build, etc.)
• Administer design contracts for the Town of Princeville, using a qualifications based
A&E selection process
• Administer construction contracts for the Town of Princeville, including preparation of
bid packages, receipt and opening of bids, recommendation for contract award,
construction inspection and oversight, progress payment recommendations,
resolution of change orders, and project close-out.
(b) Staffing and Resources
• Town of Princeville should retain a General Engineering Consultant (GEC) that is
licensed, experienced and qualified in all aspects of municipal project planning,
design, and construction contract administration. Selection of the GEC should be
conducted through a qualifications-based process led by a panel of professional
engineers/architects.
• Cost to administer the Infrastructure Redevelopment contract would be distributed
pro-rata over eligible federal and state programs, with contributions as may be
required from other sources.
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 137
c) Managing a Growth and Development Program
The upgrade and extension of infrastructure and services may be required in order to
aggressively pursue opportunities that would enhance and expand public facilities and
infrastructure to substantially raise the Town's economic opportunities. Implementation
of programs to achieve that goal would likely require extensive state and federal
coordination, including increased levels of oversight and accountability. The following
supplemental organization is recommended to help the Town of Princeville manage such
programs:
(1) Recovery Project Manager
Responsibilities and staffing remain generally as previously described for this position.
The addition of a junior professional with experience in grant administration may also be
appropriate depending upon the opportunities to pursue new grant programs.
(2) Infrastructure Program Management Office
Responsibilities and staffing for the Infrastructure Program Management Office would
remain as previously described.
(3) Program and Resource Steering Committee
(a) Responsibilities
• Identify and coordinate federal, state and other resource programs required to meet
the Town's recovery and redevelopment goals
• Provide program oversight and assistance to Town officials and the Recovery Project
Manager
(b) Staffing and Resources
• Designated federal, and state agency officials as representatives to the committee
• Representatives from private and voluntary agency groups
• Full-time professional to act as Executive Director, to be retained and employed by a
designated federal agency, subject to the approval of the Town of Princeville:
C. Environmental Review
This section addresses environmental laws and regulations that may apply to Housing
and Community Recovery projects described in previous chapters.
Types of environmental laws and regulations that may be relevant can be summarized
briefly as follows:
• National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA): NEPA requires that every federally
funded project must be reviewed to determine what level of environmental study is
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 138
required. This restriction may not apply if locating outside the 500-year floodplain is
not practical. Some projects do not require any review because they are excluded
from NEPA by statute. The Stafford Act (see 44 CFR 10.8(c)) provides that some
activities such as debris removal and permanent work that restores a facility to pre-
disaster conditions are excluded from NEPA. Some categories of project (see 44
CFR 10.8(d)) are only required to have cursory review. Actions such as demolition
of uncontaminated structures, limited forms of land acquisition, hazard mitigation,
and code upgrades are generally exempted in this manner and are said to qualify for
Categorical Exclusions. Projects that may have significant environmental effects
require an Environmental Assessment (EA) or an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS), depending on the likelihood of significant impacts. Guidelines are found in 44
CFR 10.8(a) and (b) for determining whether an EA or an EIS is required.
• National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA): NHPA requires federal agencies to
consider effects a project may have on historic or archeological resources, and, if
there are potential effects, to allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation the
opportunity to comment on them.
Clean Water Act (CWA) regarding filling and modification of wetlands: The
provisions of the CWA that control use of wetlands vest responsibility in the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to identify wetland areas, and to control their
development. Most wetlands subject to USACE controls have been identified by the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in its National Wetlands Inventory. Executive Order
11990 forbids FEMA from funding any action that would adversely affect a wetland
unless there is no practical alternative.
Executive Order 11988 regarding development of floodplains: Executive Order
11990 also restricts funding any action that would encourage development of the
100-year floodplain unless there is no practicable alternative. Also, federal funding
may be restricted for certain critical facilities within the 500-year floodplain, including
hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, emergency operation centers, data storage
facilities, and any facility that would store, produce or use certain dangerous
chemicals, unless there is no practicable alternative.
• Endangered Species Act (ESA): FEMA is not allowed to fund any project that would
harm a threatened or endangered species or the habitat they live in. This rule
usually does not come into effect unless new areas are to be developed.
Environmental Review of Housing Projects.
Generally, rehabilitation and replacement of existing housing by individual property
owners are not subject to NEPA, NHPA, ESA or Executive Orders because they are
private non-government actions. However, the CWA applies to individual homeowners
as well as the government. Construction of new housing on some of the existing
undeveloped vacant lots within the city that include wetlands would require clearance
from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. FEMA could not fund any development that
would destroy a wetland.
Any federally funded project to construct subdivision infrastructure or to build new
housing on previously undeveloped land will require a planning review under NEPA.
Land areas that have been previously undisturbed may require survey and study to
evaluate the potential for presence of historical sites or artifacts. Projects that may affect

designated wetlands will be subject to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permitting
requirements under CWA.
2. Environmental Review of Community Recovery Projects
Table 6-1 presents a summary of the Community Recovery Projects described
previously in this report, accompanied by the types and level of environmental review
that may be required if a project is federally funded, either all or in part.

EA may not be required if project is funded exclusively by insurance proceeds or
private sources.
EA only required for extension of roads and services, or a new right-of-way acquisition.
This summary is based upon the information available at the time this report was
prepared, and is subject to change based upon changes in project scope and additional
information that may be discovered. NEPA studies such as Environmental Assessments
(EA) should be conducted, and permitting requirements should be determined as part of
the planning and design effort for individual projects as they are scheduled for
implementation.

Appendix D Conservation Easements
Conservation easements protect open space (and other sensitive lands) such as
wetlands, wildlife habitat, ranches, shorelines, forests, scenic views, farms, watersheds,
historic properties, and recreation areas from development, inappropriate uses, and
other similar pressures. A conservation easement is an agreement between a
landowner and a qualified organization that protects property long into the future. It
creates a partnership where the landowner continues to own and manage the property
within a set of agreed restrictions monitored by a conservation organization. The
organization could be the city government, the county government or a qualified not for
profit organization that specializes in land trusts and land conservation agreements. It is
a tool that allows the landowner to own and conserve land and for a community or non-
profit organization to obtain the very same land for conservation, recreation, or other
public purposes without purchasing it. Both the public and private parties receive
benefits.
For owners, a conservation easement may reduce or provide relief from certain property
or income taxes. A conservation easement's restriction may also reduce the land's
market value, which may also lower land taxes. A conservation easement can also add
value to the surrounding area. Protecting natural or cultural features helps maintain the
local heritage, natural resources, scenery and quality of life. A conservation easement
may increase the value of nearby properties as well, by redirecting development to more
appropriate locations.
Nonprofit, voluntary organizations that work hand-in-hand with landowners are often
staffed by volunteers or just a few employees. They are set up to help communities
protect and conserve land for the benefit of their citizens and the community's natural
systems. Through conservation easements and land trust donations, the nonprofit
organization can protect the land with little or no cost to the community or the
organization.
How Conservation Easements Work
A conservation easement is an agreement that is signed with a qualified organization
that places limits on land use to help conserve the property's features. With the
easement in place, the owner still owns the land and can continue to use it and live on it,
restrict public access, sell it, give it away, or pass it to whomever the owner desires.
However, the conservation easement restricts uses, development and practices that
would damage the natural or cultural features of the property. The easement
agreements are legal documents that can be tailored to meet the owner's needs, the
land's specific unique natural and cultural values, and the goals of the conservation
organization.
The restrictions agreed upon by the parties involved are written to ensure that they can
be defended. Once signed and recorded, an easement will bind current and future
owners to the terms. Easements can be granted for all or only a portion of a property.
Changes can be made by mutual consent. The conservation organization will take on
the responsibility to monitor the property to ensure the rights and responsibilities of the
parties are not being violated.

The Land Trust Alliance (LTA) lists 8 land conservation groups in North Carolina
(http://www.possibility.com/LandTrust/). These groups include the Conservation Trust
for North Carolina (http://www.cnta.org/ctnc.main.html) that is devoted to working with
communities, landowners, land trusts, and other conservation organizations to protect
North Carolina's natural and cultural resources. CTNC offers technical assistance with
strategic planning and landowner education workshops.

Appendix E General Mitigation Strategies for Historic Buildings
A high priority should be placed on reducing the moisture uptake by the buildings in
Princeville. Several strategies are suggested in this Appendix.
1. Open up the crawlspaces and allow natural ventilation to do its work in keeping air
humidity low under the buildings. If there is concern that trash or animals will find
their way under the building, install a perimeter of heavy wire mesh (10/10 stainless),
placed behind the inner line of the piers.
2. Install vapor-retarding construction to cover the exposed earth in crawlspaces, such
as casting a 3-inch concrete slab over it to ensure the vapor barrier material is not
disturbed by animals, future flooding, etc. This should reduce rising dampness by
85%, compared to the bare earth condition.
3. If crawlspaces are left enclosed, add mechanical ventilation automatically controlled
by a humidistat.
4. A large number of buildings lost to Hurricane Floyd floated off their foundations.
Care should be taken to ensure that appropriate anchorage secures these structures
to their foundations.
Steps should be taken to help historic buildings withstand a possible flooding in the
future. Construction techniques that have been used historically in flood-prone sites
could be applied as mitigation steps in the buildings used in Princeville.
1. Remove layered construction materials, particularly in floors and walls. Wood joists
topped with floor sheathing boards or plywood, overlaid with building paper and finish
flooring present cavities between the layers which will take years to dry.
The best performing configuration will be single layers of building materials that are
allowed to air out and thereby thoroughly dry after saturation. In the case of floors,
joist spacing and spans may have to be modified to support a single thickness wood
floor finish, ideally 5/4" thick material.
2. Similar concerns exist in wall construction details, though most of the older buildings
appear to have been constructed using the single-layer approach-plaster or wood
finished applied to the inner surface of wall framing, and clapboard siding applied to
the outer surface of the wall framing. The issue here is to avoid plywood or other
sheathing under the exterior finish.
Princeville School was constructed with planking applied to the outside survace of
wall framing, then covered by lapped wood siding. Moisture levels under this siding
are presently in the 20 to 25% level, significantly down from the 70% measurements
taken in December 1999, but are still too high. This would not be the case if the
sheathing were removed. Modification s would be required to the framing to replace
the structural value of the sheathing boards, but this could be done and the walls
would dry much more surely and rapidly as a result. .
3. Avoid fibrous infill material in walls, such as fiberglass baft, mineral wool, or cellulose
insulation. These materials harbor water and vastly complicate the drying out of
Princeville Recovery Plan
May 22, 2000 Page 143
flooded buildings. Consequently, wall insulation is not recommended for these
buildings. This recommendation comes with signification implications for both
heating and cooling of these buildings an constitutes a problem of some magnitude.
One alternative might be to insulate using extruded polystyrene rigid insulation
(avoiding the beaded materials, which deteriorate when wet) detailing its insulation in
a way that minimizes water holding cavities between the insulation and the interior
and exterior finishes.
4. Plaster wall finished applied over galvanized metal lath will provide the greatest
resistance to deterioration after flooding. Indeed, the traditional plaster found in
many of these buildings can be wetted repeatedly without harm. The traditional
wood lath (and horse hair reinforcing) are the weak links in this system, because
water trapped in the wall cavity will saturate these materials, which then act as
organic hosts for fungal infestations, which in turn cause these material weaken and
fail.
As long as the original plaster holds, leave it in place. If interior finishes have to be
replaced, we suggest using 1' thick portland cement-based plaster applied over
galvanized metal lath. Paint finishes will be more flood-resistant than wall coverings.
(Note: gypsum wallboard materials, even the moisture-resistant types, will not
provide this level of performance, and would require only the final skim coat of
plaster.)
5. Provide ventilation ports at the tops and bottoms of walls and partitions. We
recommend careful removal of baseboards (assuming minimum 5" height), cutting
away the plaster material from behind the base, and reinstalling the base using
screw attachments and wooden grounds. Introduce a similar detail at the top of
walls and partitions. After flooding, remove the baseboard and wall trim boards,
saving for drying and reinstallation. The open cavity within the wall will now have a
reasonable opportunity for free ventilation flow and drying. This system could be
supplemented with mechanical ventilation for greater control of drying.
6. Ceiling finishes typically were wood boards, usually with a beaded exposed edge.
This kind of ceiling would be very durable in flooding conditions and is preferred to
the gypsum wallboard and other ceiling materials that have been laminated over the
wood in some buildings.
7. Attic insulation might stand a lower probability of flooding, and we recommend
installing minimum R-38, preferably in an inorganic fiberglass batt or blown
insulation. When flooded, these materials would be ruined and removal from the
building and drying would be necessary for drying to properly take place.
8. Mechanical heating and cooling equipment should be installed above some
anticipated flood levels, which suggests above the ceiling line. This will impose
some limitations on equipment selection and maintenance, and should provide equal
performance to conventionally placed equipment.

Appendix F Programmatic Requirements
The programmatic requirements for the proposed Town Hall and Police Station were
determined by the following criteria:
1. User input: The following people have contributed to programmatic requirements of
this report by providing information about their existing facilities and future needs:
Mayor Delia Perkins, Town Manager Sandra White, Planning and Zoning Officer
Sam Knight, and Utilities and Billing Clerk Wanda Smith, and Police Chief Rodney
Codgill.
2. Operational Sensitivity- Effort has been made to identity and organize space to best
support the functions involved.
The Net Square Feet (NSF) used in the Space Requirement spreadsheets represents
the most basic space-planning unit. It is the actual area within an office or workstation.
However, substantial amount of the total area in any building is comprised of space
which cannot be calculated in this fashion. To arrive at final area requirements which
include space for circulation, walls, stairs, chases, and various support and technical
spaces the Net Square Feet is multiplied by a standard grossing factor of 1.35. The
gross square feet should be considered an estimate of the entire space necessary to
support the entire building.

Appendix H Transitional Housing
Presently, local and state officials are seeking sites to relocate Princeville citizens now
occupying temporary housing at remote trailer parks, to a new site to be within the
Princeville ETJ (extra territorial jurisdiction). The existing temporary housing parks are in
Tarboro and Rocky Mount. The long-term implications of this initiative on Princeville's
future development are significant, and the action merits careful study.
The transition housing period based on the FEMA definition of temporary is 18 months
after the incident. Hurricane Floyd occurred in mid-September 1999; therefore the
transition housing period should end in mid-March 2001.
The transition housing can be evaluated based on three alternatives. .
• Alt. No. 1: Maintain a status quo program within the NCDEM temporary trailer parks
in Tarboro and Rocky Mount.
• Alt. No. 2: Develop a single large tract near the Princeville community.
• Alt. No. 3: Define several sites dispersed throughout the Princeville community for
development as transition housing.
Selection Criteria
In order to achieve the goal of moving Princeville's residents back to the Town as soon
as possible, several criteria were defined to evaluate the three alternatives. These
criteria broadly fall into four major categories: 1) time related factors, 2) cost related
factors, 3) community related factors, and 4) hazard/risk analysis.
Table 1 summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of the three alternatives with
respect to time related factors. These include the time required to acquire land for
transition housing sites, whether or not sewer, water and roads infrastructure have to be
brought to the transition site, and the ability to extend the lease on the transition site, if
necessary, beyond March 2001.

Table 2 summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of the three alternatives with respect
to cost related factors, including the cost of acquiring land, the cost of bringing new
infrastructure into the transition site, and operating costs.

Table 3 sets out the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative with regard to
how well they assist in re-establishing and promoting Princeville's community goals.
These factors include re-establishing Princeville's sense of community, the degree to
which a transition site provides its residents with access to Princeville's governmental
and commercial buildings and services, how well an alternative promotes Princeville's
future land use and economic development goals, the density and quality of life of a

Site Selection
Twenty-one sites that meet the selection criteria in Table 7 were identified within the
Princeville ETJ, as illustrated by Figure 1. The individual sites were identified through
maps, visual inspections and conversations with NCDEM and FEMA personnel, and with
Princeville and area residents.
Table 7 lists potential sites and summarizes each site's characteristics, including a
general and physical description, location, presence of existing infrastructure and future
infrastructure needs. The general description defines the present use, zoning and
vegetation. The physical description includes soil type, wetland presence and elevation.
A site's location is defined in relationship to the Town limits, the ETJ and the 500-year
flood plain. Existing infrastructure for each site has been listed. Future infrastructure is

Appendix I US Agency Comments
Princeville, North Carolina
SDA 51, Region L Yob Training Consortium, serves the Princeville area. Princeville received
S 1.5 million out of the Hurricane F1oyd Disaster program of $12 million. 't'he consortitun has
cxpended $223,124 in the Priticeville/Tarboro area for the Floyd Disaster Program. Forty-six
participants have been served and twenty-five are still eruolled. Twenty-one have terminated,
with ten of those moving into permanent employment. Approximately $125,000 in Welthre-to-
Work funds are allocated to the P&ceville/Tarboro area. Service delivery is contracted to tile:
Department of Social Services. We are still trying to identify both the number of individuals
eligible for services, and their defined needs.
Reports indicate there are no businesses in Princeville and all farmer residents live in 'farboro or
Rocky Mount. A 18rge segment Of the population, around 1676, are older and may not be
interersted in employment. There will be employment Opportunities in the area. An Internet
shopping network will be hiring in Tarboro in. about three months with 300 to 800 jobs
openings. In addition. Sara Lee is expanding it-, fairy in Tarboro, adding about 200 jobs.
The need for jobs in Princeville smms limited. A greater need may he restoration of the town to
liva?':lc conditions if the residents wish to retiuzi. There is little short-term hope for elnploymeut
opportunities in Princeville other than clean-up and reconstruction.
Any plan of action for serving this area should start with a town hall type meeting. The
follcnving individuals and agencies should be invited to participate:
e r" idents of Princeville
n health agencies and other publio service groups
o North Carolina Employment Security Commission
o SDA 51 stag
o elected officials
o transportation uViicials
o State Rapid 'Response staff
o c:artpluyers, especially the Horne Shopping Network and Sum Lee, and,
o other appropriate entities or agencies .
It is our recommendation that any plan of action be based on input received from the affected
individuals. This should be a coordinated effort of entities and organizations that serve the needs
of thi.? community.

MEMORANDUM FOR MR. FRAN McCARTHY, DEPUTY DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF
CONGRESSIONAL AND LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS, FEDERAL EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT AGENCY
SUBJECT: Federal Funding Programs for Princeville
This responds to your memorandum of May 9, 2000, requesting comments on
Princeville, North Carolina's Draft Recovery Plan and a list of Federal funding programs
that may be applicable. Comments on the Draft Recovery Plan are provided on the
attached pages excerpted from the report. Army Corps of Engineers Federal funding
programs that may be applicable to the recovery of Princeville are listed below.
? Public Law 84-99 authorizes the Corps to perform emergency repair of flood
damaged levees. The Princeville levee is being repaired at a Federal cost of about
$740,000. Repairs are expected to be completed in mid-July 2000.
? Section 205 of the 1948 Flood Control Act (P.L. 80-858), as amended, authorizes
the Corps to study, adopt and construct small flood control projects, provided they
are economically justified, environmentally sound and cost shared with a non-
Federal sponsor. On March 7, 2000, the Corps initiated a Section 205 study to
evaluate the economic viability of providing additional flood protection for Princeville.
The Corps met with local officials on May 8t' to review the scope of the study. Up to
$100,000 of study costs are full Federal. Study costs exceeding $100,000 are cost
shared with non-Federal interests 50/50. If the study determines there is a Federal
interest in participating in flood control improvements, then design and construction
costs are shared 65 percent Federal and 35 percent non-Federal. The Federal
share of costs for any one project may not exceed $7 million. The non-Federal
sponsor is responsible for all costs in excess of the Federal per project limit.
? The House version of the FY 2000 emergency supplemental appropriations bill
includes $1.5 million for the Corps to conduct a study of the need for additional flood
protection in Princeville. If enacted, this would allow the Corps to pursue a larger
project, not subject to the $7 million limit under Section 205, but still subject to
economic and environmental justification, as well as cost sharing, generally the
same as the cost sharing provisions under the Section 205 program.
? Section 22 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1974 authorizes the Corps
to provide planning assistance to support state preparation of comprehensive water
and related land resources development plans, including watershed and ecosystem
planning. Assistance is given on the basis of state requests and availability of Corps
expertise. Section 22 cannot be used to supplement other ongoing or pending
Corps efforts, or to offset required state contributions to Federal grant programs.

-2-
Federal assistance is in the form of an effort or service basis; it is not an outright
grant. A non-Federal sponsor must contribute 50 percent of the cost. Nationwide
annual funds may not exceed $10 million, with not more than $500,000 in any one
year in any one state. The FY 2000 appropriation contained $5.8 million for this
program, most of which has been committed.
? Section 206 of the 1960 Flood Control Act, as amended, authorizes the Corps to
provide flood plain information and technical assistance to state, county, and city
governments, as well as to other Federal agencies. This kind of assistance can
also be provided to private citizens, corporations, and groups. Typical activities
include provision of flood proofing information and assistance, development of flood
plain management plans, and preparation of flood warning and preparedness plans.
In addition, Corps support for hurricane evacuation studies can be conducted jointly
with local agencies through this authority. Non-Federal public entities receive these
services at 100 percent Federal cost; private citizens and other Federal agencies
must pay 100 percent of the cost. Involvement of requesters is strongly
encouraged. The FY 2000 appropriation contained $8.5 million for this program,
most of which has been committed.
For additional information about these programs and their applicability to the
. Princeville recovery efforts, local interests may contact the Wilmington Army Engineer
District. Mr. Douglas Greene is the point of contact in Wilmington. He can be reached
at 910-251-4553.

Attachment
I will not be available on May 23 (1 will be on vacation), but could you please have Haven
Johnston clear both Christine Pelosi and Deborah Vincent for future meetings? Their e-mail
addresses are above. I will attenf the June 6 meeting.
1 am in Tarboro, North Carolina today.
HUD has reviewed the "Princeville N.C. Recovery Plan - In Progress Review." As requested by
Sally Katzen, we are providing this response to the plan. It includes, potentially, $4.9 million in
funding. It includes:
$300,000 in subordinated debt for Asbury Park, a 50 unit HUD. subsidized
and
FHA insured facility in Princeville;
$4 million in recovery dollars for Pioneer Court (pending approval); and Potential
approval of a $600,000 in competitive grants (subject to panel grading and approval).
In addition, HUD offers several areas for technical assistance, included herein.
The Plan is divided into four sections: Housing, Community Recovery, Sustainable Development
and Impementation. Our response is similarly divided.
HOUSING
The Projected Assistance Needs in this area include:
funds for replacement housing
down payment assistance
funds for repairs
assistance with installation of infrastructure
access to buildable lots
assistance to investors
rental assistance
technical assistance
housing counseling program
Items 1through 4 may be funded through the Community Development Block Grant and HOME
Partnership programs with the state.
For disaster response, HUD provided access for the state to $34 million in CDBG money and $12
million in HOME funding. In addition, HUD has provided waivers to the state for use in this
disaster, which makes the use of these funds more flexible. The state has used these funds as
part of its $836 million disaster package. This $836 million package, as well as the North
Carolina Housing Finance Agency's Repair and Replacement Grants, will be a primary source of
funding.
Princeville is not an entitlement community and would have to work with the state on any block
grant or HOME request. However, it may be more appropriate for the state and Princeville to
work with HUD's Section 108 loan program using block grant guarantees. In that case, HUD
would be willing to offer consultation with a Section 108 specialist to provide technical assistance.
For assistance to investors (item 6), HUD has already made a difference.
HUD's
Housing Assistant Secretary Apgar has approved subordination of Asbury Park's $300+ thousand
loan that was recently assigned to HUD as well as assistance in procuring new FHA funding for
this HUD assisted property. This has an immediate $300,000 benefit to the community. In
addition, HUD will review any new HUD-assisted proposals that are given to our Multifamily Hub
in Greensboro, North Carolina.
HUD has provided technical assistance to the East Tarboro / Princeville Community Development
Corporation, which has led to their request, under HUD's Rural Housing and Economic
Development Initiative for $200,000 in funding. The funding will be used for seed capital to
develop new housing units in Princeville in partnership with the General Baptist State Convention.
While this funding is competitive, we are confident in its success. HUD assisted the state in
development of its housing counseling program (item 9) that has been in affect for this disaster.
HUD has also profided housing counseling technical assitance to the East Tarboro / Princeville
Community Development Corporation. HUD's assistance is targeted toward certification from
HUD. This CDC was time barred from participating in the housing counseling this year, but will
be competitive next year.
For item 7 Section 8 rental assistance, HUD will work with state, county and local governments to
determine the quantified need for tenant based assistance.
As stated above, HUD will also review any project based proposals that are submitted.
In conclusion, in addition to the technical assistance and funds previously given, HUD's potential
new assistance described herein include:
Over $300,000 in subordinated loans to Asbury Park
$200,000 in seed money to East Tarboro / Princeville CDC contingent upon
them
receiving a competitive score.
COMMUNITY RECOVERY
HUD can respond to two major areas in the Community Recovery portion of the plan.
Section 3.3.4.5 mentions three buildings that the Princeville Housing Authority oversees, one of
which is Pioneer Court, a fifty unit public housing unit. HUD has recognized the need to improve
the local housing authority's technical expertise and, as such, has provided a mentoring
relationship for the Princeville Housing Authority with the Rocky Mount Housing Authority. This
will improve the Princeville Housing Authority's compliance with statutory and regulatory
requirements. In addition, HUD has worked through FEMA to complete demolition and is
currently reviewing a $4 million request for funding from the PHA.
Section 3.3.5 discusses various infrastructure needs. HUD has provided technical assistance to
North Carolina A&T University's Engineering Department, which is submitting a request under the
Historically Black Colleges and Universities Grant that will target Princeville. This grant is
competitive.
However, it offers bonus points and bonus dollars for work in a disaster area, which may add to
its competitiveness. The funding request is for up to $400,000.
The potential new dollars under the Community Recovery section is:
$4 million for rebuilding Pioneer Court
$400,000 competitive HBCU Grant for North Carolina A&T to work with
Princeville
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Section 4.2.3 of the report discusses Building Standards and lists seven recommendations. To
the extent that HUD has training materials available on building codes, we would encourage the
use of these materials by Princeville.
IMPLEMENTATION
HUD will make available, through the State Coordinator, the assistance of career community
builders in the Greensboro, North Carolina office. In addition, HUD is sponsoring a relocation
specialist to provide relocation planning training to the nearby City of Rocky Mount targeted for
June and will make that person available for Princeville, if requested.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Michelle Enger
Office of Management and Budget
THRU: Chester J. Straub, Jr.
Acting Assistant Secretary
for Economic Development
FROM: David F. Witschi
Director
Economic Adjustment Division
SUBJECT: Comments on the In Progress Review
Princeville Redevelopment Plan
As requested, this transmits the comments of the Economic Development Administration (EDA)
on the In Progress Review of the Princeville Redevelopment Plan.
General Comments
EDA Technical Assistance for Consulting Services - There has considerable effort to bring
together assistance on behalf of the community of Princeville, North Carolina, as noted in the
Progress Review of the Princeville Redevelopment Plan. The EDA Atlanta Regional Office is
considering EDA technical assistance that may serve to provide consultant engineering services
to prepare more detailed costs and specifications for the evolving plan and implementation
project proposals which might flow from the plan. The EDA Economic Development
Representative for Eastern North Carolina, Ms. Patricia Dixon, can be contacted at (803) 408-
2513.
Competition for EDA Infrastructure Assistance - The draft Plan notes possible EDA
assistance for potential infrastructure projects. However, the draft plan lacks sufficient clarity
and detail supporting economic development. Implementation proposals submitted in
accordance with the Princeville Redevelopment Plan will be considered on merit by EDA along
with other economic development project proposals in the region on a competitive basis. EDA
will give priority consideration to projects which maximize job creation and leverage private
investment. In this regard, EDA has already made substantial economic development
investments in excess of $10 million for job creating economic development projects within the
immediate commuting area of Princeville residents. These EDA funded projects are projected to
create one thousand new jobs in this economically distressed area. We are hopeful that
Princeville residents will participate in these employment opportunities.
Specific comments on the draft plan in more detail are noted in Attachment A and an EDA
program description and contacts for Princeville are noted in Attachment B.
Attachment A
EDA Comments: Draft Princeville Redevelopment Plan
Page 7,. Table 1.1 Recovery Plan Program Summary:
The Recovery Plan Program Summary needs clarification as to whether the Program Options
identified are discrete options or, in fact, phases of development or possibly a combination of
both. It became confusing and difficult to relate the options and costs in the Table to the
proposed infrastructure development projects in the narrative. For Storm Water, for example, it
appears that option 1 must be completed before 2 or 3; the plan development costs in options 1
and 2 would have to be spent in phases before the construction costs listed in option 3. It begs
the question: Why spend funds to do plans in #1 and #2, if there is not going to be a commitment
for the implementation in #3?
Page 48, Section 3.3.5.2 Water:
Not covered in the Plan is the Town of Tarboro's water treatment plant which provides water to
Princeville. This plant needs to be flood proofed; and is severely near or at 80% capacity--which
means that before Princeville's contract could be increased from 250,000 GPD, (Princeville is
already being provided up to 225,000 GPD of that amount), NC DNR would require a plan for
upgrading Tarboro's water treatment plant. This is a surface water treatment plant (currently at 6
MGD) which could be upgraded to 12 MGD (would be a wonderful regional system direly
needed for this entire region with the depletion of the aquifer). There is not much point to
recommending any growth projects in the Plan if "growth water" is not there This should
be addressed in the revised draft of the Princeville Plan.
Page 49, Section 3.3.5.3 Wastewater System:
Not covered in the Plan is the Town of Tarboro's wastewater treatment plant which treats
Princeville's wastewater. This plant also needs flood proofing; and although the plant has plenty
of hydraulic capacity (currently using 2.1 MGD of its 5 MGD capacity), it is very dangerously
near its metals capacity. This would also restrict the types of industry either town could
accommodate if any. This also should be addressed in the revised draft of the Princeville Plan.
Note - The $1.15M referred to in the last paragraph was not an EDA grant. The EDA
Economic Development Representative identified these funds as coming from HUD/CDBG, the
North Carolina Rural Center and the Town of Princeville.
Page 72, Section 3.4.5.1 Economic Development:
Paragraph 2 discusses the proposed establishment of a "strip shopping mall". EDA's concern is
that the new businesses in the new mall replaces or competes with the restoration of the pre-
disaster retail activity discussed on page 60, Princeville Plaza business complex.
Paragraph 3 proposes the establishment of an Authority or 502(c)3 to attract funding to acquire
land and develop the "strip mall" including facilitating solicitation of `EDA grants to support
this endeavor." Establishing the proposed Authority provides no connection to grant funding
from EDA. EDA views the proposed "strip mall" is more appropriate to private sector
investment.
Paragraph 4 discusses new water and sewer construction. If sewer and water already are
extended to the Truck Stop, it would appear that the costs reflected on Page 7 ($2.3+ for sewer
and $.1+ for water) would be astronomical to extend these lines. The distance, and the length of
the water and sewer extensions, from the Truck Stop to the proposed hotel/motel is
undetermined. It would help if the costs were broken down between economic development and
housing needs. This information did not appear to be available on the map at Figure 3-17. EDA
may be able to participate in the consulting engineering services to develop the needed
information in more detail.
Page 89, 3.4.6.1 Economic Development:
This section recommends in Paragraph 1 an "EDA grant for the Development Authority to
purchase a 20-30 acre tract of industrial land and bring utilities to it." Typically, EDA would not
consider the purchase of land if the purpose would be for resale to an industry, especially if it is
used as an enticement to provide land at below market price.
Page 90, Paragraph 2 discusses the proposed purchase of industrial land:
The draft Plan notes that the acquisition cost of the proposed 25-30 acre parcel may exceed
EDA's normal "rule of thumb" guidelines. EDA typically requires an MAI appraisal which may
well effectively preclude further Agency consideration of this project proposal. It is also unclear
where these proposed land acquisition costs are included in the Table on page 7.
Page 102, Section 4.1.1., The repair ability/reliability of the Princeville Dike:
The Dike, in our opinion, it should be first priority to be resolved before any other recovery
efforts should be made and is not adequately addressed in the Plan.
After Page 106, the map at Figure 4.2 shows wetlands:
Wetlands issues might be a problem as it is in the same area in which the new motel/hotel site is
proposed. The Plan does not address this issue.
Page 131, Section 5.1.4.4. Infrastructure Redevelopment Office:
Keeping in mind that the Upper Coastal Plains Council of Governments can do much of what is
listed here, EDA funds might be considered to support the costs of the General Engineering
Consultant, but would require some creative structuring.
Other Concerns and Considerations:
Recently, EDA funds were granted to construct infrastructure for two competing industrial
parks/areas. The Tarboro Industrial park, only 2 miles from Princeville has 120 acres available.
CST located in this park and created 200-225 new jobs. Additionally, World Class Catamarans
is currently under construction elsewhere in Tarboro. It is unclear whether this is the same boat
manufacturer mentioned for possible occupancy in the proposed Princeville industrial site.
Another recent (FY2000) EDA project extended water and sewer systems to open up a 1,717
acre industrial corridor at the US 64/ Kingsboro Road exit, approximately 8 miles from
Princeville. This is where QVC is constructing a distribution center which will create 800 jobs.
Attachment B
Economic Adjustment Assistance Program
Agency: Department of Commerce (DOC), Economic Development Administration (EDA)
Activating Mechanism: Declaration of a disaster by the President or other Federal declarations.
Objectives: To respond to the short- and long-term effects of severe economic dislocation events on
communities.
Assistance Provided: Categorical project economic adjustment grants (usually funded from
supplemental appropriations) for planning, technical assistance, revolving loan funds and infrastructure
construction to assist impacted communities in accelerating economic recovery and implementing
strategic actions to reduce the risk of economic damage and loss in commercial and industrial areas from
future disasters. Priority consideration given to job creation, jobs saved and leveraging private sector
investment. The key tools of EDA's recovery efforts include:
• Augmenting the institutional capacity of local governments with EDA recovery planning and/or technical
assistance grants focusing on job retention and job creation to offset the negative impacts of the disaster
on the local economy;
• Helping local governments support revival of the local economy by providing a source of local financing
through EDA Revolving Loan Fund grants to address `shortfalls' and unmet needs where other financing
is not available or is insufficient;
• Addressing local needs for new construction and/or pre-disaster improvements to publicly-owned
commercial or industrial facilities/infrastructure with EDA infrastructure construction grants. Grants
aim to support job retention and job creation, leverage private investment, and directly contribute to
economic recovery of the area; and
• Support locally-directed mitigation efforts flowing from a strategic recovery planning process (and
ultimately as part of a mitigation planning component of a long-term comprehensive economic
development planning process) by applying the appropriate EDA program tool(s) to safeguard jobs from
the impact of future disasters.
Cost-Sharing Requirements: Applicable cost-share requirements for economic adjustment assistance
are set forth in current EDA regulations for grant rate eligibility (13 CFR 301.4).
Eligibility: An eligible applicant may be a State, city or other political subdivisions of a State or a
consortium of political subdivisions, an economic development district, a public or private nonprofit
organization or association acting in cooperation with officials of a political subdivision, an institution of
higher education or a consortium of institutions of higher education and an Indian Tribe. Area eligibility
requirements, including special area eligibility due to a disaster declaration, are set forth in EDA's
current regulations and Notice of the Availability of Funds (NOFA). Further information in more detail
is available in EDA's web site at www: doc.gov/eda.

We would like to request a modification to the permit for the Flood Water Mitigation
and Stream Restoration Project in Edgecombe County. During channel work on North
Central Main, the contractor encountered runny sands. A section of the main channel
above Otis Ave. runs closely and parallel with Neville Street. Performing the channel
work could weaken the road foundation. We would like to pipe this section of the
channel to avoid damaging the road. This section is immediately above a planned
interlocking weir structure. The weir will not be needed due to the reduction of impact
on the wetlands (0.16 acres).
Due to project funding, work on Lateral #3 may not be performed. If that is the case,
the weir on this channel will not be needed.
