I see this rezoning for the Tuesday, Aug 16 council meeting. They’ll probably just set a date for a public hearing.

We don’t want them to destroy we don’t want them to be seen for example Seaboard station builds it but makes sure the train station gets no attention.

My writeup on the Depot rezoning. I pretty much end it by saying:

It’s not great but it feels like a strong compromise.

And, I have it on good authority that the NCRR is going to move from their leased space at Highwoods to some part of the Cabarrus Street property.

Without full intel, but there is the implication that the NCRR headquarters operation would be on land that they have owned for over 150 years and adjacent to their mainline track.

Like they will take part of the office building proposed for this site?

It means some jazzy railroad engineers will be gracing DTR with their charismatic swagger.

Hopefully it means they’ll focus on the west st extension

As I understand the information shared, yes.

According to WakeGov, 320 W Cabarrus Street has been solely owned by the NCRR continuously since 07-03-1874.

Holy crap! I wonder what they paid for it, or did they trade some pigs and tobacco leaves for it?

Hard to say. But, that’s probably one of the precious few pieces of property in town with that claim, outside of maybe the State House.

Now, The Depot (327 W Davie) has ownership title with the NCRR going back just as far to 1874. But, there must have been some reorganization issues with the company as there was a transactional change in 2013.
